The oil content is exactly as you would find in our bottled product - high quality, extra virgin, unrefined and contains no toxic substances or cholesterol. It is cold pressed in the absence of light, air and reactive metals.
The capsule has been designed especially for flaxseed oil and provides a light protected, soft gel casing for the oil ensuring the same integrity as we offer for all of our products.
Flax Original Capsules are available in a pottle containing 300 capsules. Each capsule contains 1gm of oil. They are easy to use, easy to swallow and portable, great when travelling or unable to refrigerate opened oil. For those who find consuming oil difficult, they create a more pleasant experience.
The Essential Fatty Acid found in flaxseed oil is called Alpha Linolenic Acid, and is a natural plant source of Omega 3; it is essential for our wellbeing. Our bodies cannot make Essential Fatty Acids, we need to get them from our food. We need these "good fats" as they play a vital role in all aspects of a well balanced and healthy body.

What does the NZ Fernmark seal of approval mean?
Every single seed used has been grown organically in New Zealand by New Zealand farmers. It is then cold-pressed in Ashburton and encapsulated in Christchurch. It is bottled using curbside recyclable bottles produced in Christchurch. It is labelled using recycling compatible labels printed in Christchurch. Put all this together with the fact that Waihi Bush Organic Farm is NZ owned and operated since 1992, it achieves the NZ Fernmark signifying that the product is New Zealand Made according to the rules of the Fair Trading Act.
We are regulated as a food in New Zealand and therefore do not dose you. We do however suggest a serving suggestion of at least 4 capsules a day, but if you are not seeing the benefits in 4 weeks plus increase the intake accordingly, or consider switching to Flax Original bottled Oil.
