“These capsules are the alternative to fish oil capsules. Whilst I'm not vegetarian, I have chosen these as flax seed oil is supposed to support the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems as well as inflammatory problems. This information I have collected from a number of different sources, including the RHS's up to date medicinal plants reference. Flax is subjected to ongoing studies in relation to rheumatism and cholesterol; all of which I find fascinating. All I can say is that, for me, it seems to have reduced the inflammation in my gut, which is currently less painful.”
