D-Flax is derived from the seed of the plant Linum usitatissimum. The oil is used to treat various conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease, and constipation. D-Flax can also be applied to the skin to soothe irritation or soften rough areas, and is commonly used as a dietary supplement.

Flaxseed oil contains Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels. By increasing HDL (good cholesterol), D-Flax helps to reduce hyperlipidemia. When combined with other cholesterol-lowering agents, D-Flax is especially helpful for patients with high cholesterol. ALA also helps to reduce inflammation.

Flaxseed oil helps lower cholesterol by increasing prostaglandins E1 & E3 (PGE1 & PGE3), which reduce cholesterol production and help move cholesterol across cell membranes. D-Flax also reduces blood clotting by increasing PGE1 and PGE3 levels. Flaxseed oil also stimulates the bowels, binds to water, and helps to soften stools, making D-Flax easier for the body to pass waste.
