Linum usitatissimum L.
Flaxseed oil, cold pressed from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum, is exceptionally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3), typically comprising 50–60% of the fatty acid profile. This makes it one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 available, widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods and nutritional applications.
Bioform's flaxseed oil is produced by mechanical cold pressing without any heat treatment, ensuring the heat-sensitive omega-3 fatty acids and lignans remain fully intact. It is supplied with complete fatty acid profiling per batch. Applications range from softgel encapsulation and direct supplement use to fortified food and beverage products and specialised topical preparations.
