Overview

Flaxseed oil is an edible plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). It is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Flaxseed oil is primarily used as a dietary supplement for its potential cardiovascular benefits and to help manage conditions such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It has also been studied for its effects on diabetes and inflammation. The mechanism of action involves providing ALA as a precursor to longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are involved in anti-inflammatory processes and lipid metabolism[1][5][8]. Flaxseed oil does not have a single pharmaceutical developer; it is produced by various supplement manufacturers.
