Defatted flax seed extract is a concentrated functional ingredient derived from linseed oil processing. The core process involves solvent extraction followed by purification to isolate bioactive compounds. It is characterized by high levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and lignans like secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Specific molecular formulas vary by fraction, but the primary active components are polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Not intended as a substitute for clinical medication. Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C with oxygen-free packaging to prevent lipid oxidation. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE during handling to mitigate respiratory irritation risks.
