Flax Seeds Bioavailability

 

If you are including flax seeds in your daily diet it is advisable to take a multivitamin multimineral tablet to improve the absorption of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are the omega 3 that the body needs.

 

The body needs calcium, copper, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium and vitamins from the BComplex group for better conversion of ALA present in the flax seeds.

 

Eating and absorption are two different functions.

 

If the ALA is not converted then the flax seeds are just going down the body's drain; at most it will only improve your constipation.
