Melrose Organic Flaxseed Oil is cold-pressed from organically-grown Australian flaxseeds. Flaxseed oil has one of the highest concentrations of plant-based omega-3 alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) and is an excellent vegan alternative to fish oil. ALA is converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the body, which are essential fatty acids required for optimal health. Melrose was the 'first in flax', producing the first bottle of flaxseed oil in the Australian market over 30 years ago.
