This oil contains a high source of omega-3 (55% of the oil), which, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, helps improve circulation, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases, reducing triglycerides and cholesterol, and alleviating arthritis pain. It also helps improve all digestive system processes, especially those of the colon.
The omega-6, which accounts for 15% of the oil, acts as a pro-inflammatory agent, which is important in cases of trauma; however, the consumption of omega-3 should always be greater than that of omega-6, in a ratio of 2 parts omega-3 to 1 part omega-6, so that the anti-inflammatory effect always takes precedence.
This oil contains prebiotics, which nourish the intestinal flora and thus improve digestive and immune functions.
Another important contribution is that of phytoestrogens, which can help improve signs of menopause.
