Description

PELLAX – coarse flax meal

Domestic gluten-free flaxseed preparation that promotes the regular and normal functioning of the stomach and intestines. The alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) contained in flaxseed meal helps to keep blood cholesterol levels normal.

Pellax® coarse flax meal is made by a patented method (FI 100696) from domestic flaxseeds cultivated in a controlled manner. Cold pressed granulated meals contain some of the oil contained in flaxseed. Flaxseed does not contain gluten.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, also a source of lignan

Pellax is also a good source of polyunsaturated Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as lignan.  Lignan is a phenolic compound and a plant estrogenic. Flaxseeds contain 700 mg / 100 g of lignan.

How does Pellax work?

Pellax contains alpha-linoleic acid (Omega-3) and linoleic acid (Omega-6).  Alpha-linoleic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential for humans and should be obtained from food.

• Flaxseeds increase fecal mass and promote regular/normal bowel and intestinal function.
• Flax lignans promote normal and regular functioning of the stomach and digestive system.
• Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) helps keep blood cholesterol levels normal.
  (The beneficial effect is obtained by consuming 2 grams of alpha-linoleic acid per day. It can be obtained from 3 tablespoons (18 g) of Pellax flaxseed meal or, for example, a teaspoon of flaxseed oil.)
