FLAX SEED MEAL
Flax Seed Meal | 4 oz
Omega-3 • Fiber • Digestion • Heart Wellness
Flax Seed Meal is made from ground flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum) and is naturally rich in dietary fiber, plant-based Omega-3 ALA, lignans, protein, and essential minerals.
Grinding flax seeds makes their nutrients more accessible than consuming the seeds whole, making Flax Seed Meal an easy addition to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, cereals, and baked goods.
Key Benefits
Heart & Cholesterol Support – Flax provides ALA Omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber, which can support cardiovascular wellness and healthy cholesterol levels.
Digestive Health – Naturally rich in soluble and insoluble fiber to support healthy digestion and bowel regularity.
Plant-Based Omega-3s – Flax is one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential Omega-3 fatty acid.
Blood Sugar Support – The fiber in flax may help support a healthy post-meal blood-sugar response by slowing digestion and carbohydrate absorption.
Hormonal Wellness – Flax is particularly rich in lignans, plant compounds with mild phytoestrogen activity that have been studied for women's hormonal and menopausal wellness.
Satiety & Weight Management – Its combination of fiber, healthy fats, and protein can promote fullness and appetite satisfaction.

Storage
Because ground flax contains naturally occurring oils, it is more susceptible to oxidation than whole flax seeds.
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration after opening is recommended for maximum freshness.
Precautions
Increasing fiber too quickly may cause gas, bloating, or digestive discomfort. Start with a smaller serving and increase gradually while maintaining adequate fluid intake.
Flax may affect the absorption of certain medications. Consider separating Flax Seed Meal from oral medications by at least 2 hours, unless your healthcare professional recommends otherwise.
