The essential fatty acids combined here have proven to impart a regulatory function on the body's fatty acid metabolism. Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical, than our body's metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates as evidenced by the drastic rise in fat related degenerative diseases, such as vascular disease and strokes. Dietary essential fatty acids common to flaxseed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins, and are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including: inflammation, pain, and swelling pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal, arterial, ear, heart water retention blood clotting ability allergic response and rheumatoid arthritis nerve transmission steroid production and hormone synthesis -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

The capsules are not as cost efficient either. You take 10 capsules to equal one tbsp. of liquid. They are fine otherwise. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!
