REALCAPS Linaseemneõli kapslid N120 is worth considering in several situations.
- Your diet is low in plant fats. If flaxseed, walnuts and unrefined oils — the main dietary sources of ALA — rarely appear on your menu, the capsules help fill this gap without overhauling your whole diet.
- Liquid flaxseed oil is inconvenient. It has to be kept in the fridge, oxidises quickly and has a pronounced taste. The capsule form has none of these drawbacks: it is easier to take with you on a trip, to work or during periods when your usual eating routine is disrupted.
- You cannot or do not want to eat fish. Flaxseed oil is a plant-based alternative for those looking for a source of omega-3 outside fish products. It is important to understand the difference between plant ALA and marine EPA/DHA (more on this in the neighbouring question).
The product is not a substitute for a balanced diet and is not intended to treat or prevent disease. It is not used during pregnancy and breastfeeding; people with chronic conditions or on medication are advised to consult a doctor before taking it.
Please also note: the capsules contain gelatine of animal origin, so this format is not suitable for strict vegetarians and vegans.
