Some of the main advantages of 'lignan rich' Omega Twin are that it's a mixture of complimentary fatty acids and phyto-nutrients containing more GLA per tablespoon than 10 capsules of evening primrose oil.
Barlean's Omega Twin Flaxseed Oil contains lignan rich flax seed particles and is 100% expeller pressed, as opposed to standard chemical extraction processes.
Totally vegetarian and vegan friendly, Barlean's Omega Twin Flaxseed Oil should be shaken well before use as natural sediment may occur. Stirring will distribute the flax particles evenly. Colour, flavour and flax seed particle percentage may vary depending on the region where the organic raw materials were grown.
