Flax Seed Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Linum usitatissimum seeds via cold pressing or solvent extraction. It primarily contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), lignans, and mucilage. The core molecular structure features polyunsaturated fatty acids; however, specific CAS numbers vary by constituent fraction rather than the whole extract.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent oxidation. Clinical use necessitates caution for patients on anticoagulants due to potential bleeding risks. Industrial handling mandates PPE to avoid respiratory irritation from fine particulates.
