Flax Seed Capsules
Part of our Capsules range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Flax Seed Capsules are plant-based supplements made from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum, known in India as alsi. Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of the omega-3 fatty acid ALA and of lignans, and it is a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans who do not take fish oil.
Arizone International manufactures and supplies Flax Seed Capsules in powder and oil forms, for nutraceutical brands, vegan product companies and private label businesses.
An Ancient Crop
Flax is one of the oldest cultivated plants. Its stem fibres were woven into linen in ancient Egypt, and the species name "usitatissimum" means "most useful". In India, alsi has long been roasted and eaten as a mukhwas, made into laddoos in winter, and pressed for oil. Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra are major growing states.
What Flaxseed Contains
- Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA)Flaxseed oil is typically about half ALA, the plant form of omega-3.
- LignansMainly secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Flax is one of the richest known sources of lignans.
- FibreBoth soluble mucilage and insoluble fibre.
- Protein and MineralsIncluding magnesium and manganese.
Whole flaxseeds often pass through the gut undigested, which is why ground seed, oil or extract is used in supplements.
Formulation Options
- Flaxseed Oil SoftgelsCold-pressed oil, commonly 500 mg to 1000 mg per softgel, for ALA omega-3 products.
- Ground Flaxseed CapsulesMilled seed for fibre and whole-food products.
- Lignan Extract CapsulesStandardised to SDG, often 20% to 40%, for women's wellness products.
- BlendsWith other plant oils such as borage, evening primrose or pumpkin seed.
Applications
- Vegetarian and vegan omega-3 supplements
- Heart and healthy cholesterol support products
- Women's wellness and menopause support formulas
- Digestive regularity and fibre products
- Skin and hair nutrition supplements
- Private label plant-based ranges
Freshness Is Everything
Flaxseed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fat and oxidises quickly, giving a fishy or paint-like smell when it goes rancid. Ground flax is also prone to oxidation. We check peroxide value and acid value, use nitrogen flushing where appropriate, add natural antioxidants such as vitamin E or rosemary extract on request, and recommend light-proof, airtight packaging.
Safety Notes
Flax may have a mild blood-thinning effect and can affect blood sugar, so people on related medicines should seek advice. Lignans act as weak phytoestrogens, so people with hormone-sensitive conditions and pregnant women should consult a doctor. Fibre-based capsules should be taken with plenty of water.
Quality Considerations
- Linum usitatissimum seed identity and origin
- ALA content and fatty acid profile for oils
- Peroxide value, acid value and oxidative stability
- SDG content for lignan extracts
- Heavy metals, pesticides and microbiology
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Flax oil softgels should be packed in opaque bottles and stored cool, as omega-3 oils oxidise easily.
