What's So Good About Flaxseed Oil?
Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, and fiber, as well as being excellent sources of B vitamins, protein & zinc. They're low in saturated fats, calories and they have NO cholesterol. Several studies have shown flaxseed oil to be helpful in reducing the pain, inflammation & swelling of arthritis, in addition to lowering blood cholesterol & triglyceride levels, plus helping to reduce the hardening effects of cholesterol on cell membranes. Other uses include treating constipation, benign prostatic hyperplasia, ulcerative colitis, and vaginitis. One tablespoon a day, as a supplement or on salads or veggies, can help ensure your supply of essential fatty acids. It's also great for helping dry skin from the inside out!

I agree, nearly everyday I have taking a tablespoon of flaxseed oil for a little over a year and within a month I was able to recognize the difference is my digestion, and the improvement in any stiffness I would experience from time to time in my joints. I immediately noticed a poor difference in these health conditions when I ceased from taking flaxseed oil during a short period.
