Bioriginal Food & Science

Around 650 B.C., Hippocrates spoke about the relief that flax provided for abdominal pains and in the 8th Century A.D., Charlemagne, aware of the significant benefits offered by flax, passed laws making the consumption of this crop mandatory. Flaxseeds are a rich source of lignans and the omega-3 fatty acid Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Lignans act as a strong antioxidant and can support cardiovascular and menopausal health.  When we consume flaxseeds, our body converts ALA into the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA – providing the cardiovascular, joint, cognitive and eye health benefits offered by these fatty acids. Bioriginal offers roasted flaxseed, milled flaxseeds, raw flaxseeds, flax flours, golden flaxseed oil and brown flaxseed oil.

These nutrients improve skin health, cardiovascular health, joint health, women’s health, cognitive function, eye health and can support weight loss. Bioriginal offers roasted hempseeds, hulled hempseeds, hempseed protein powder and hempseed oil.

Vitality Through Nutritional Solutions From Around the World

In the early 18th century, black currant seeds were extensively used for skincare and more recently, the oil from the seed was discovered to be a potent source of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA. This omega-6 fatty acid is beneficial for skin health, cardiovascular health, joint health, women’s health and weight management.
		
The black currant plant can thrive in different types of soil but grows best in well-drained soils and in good sunlight. The rootstock is planted in a hole, twice its diameter. It takes over a year to grow, requiring water in dry periods and fertilization in late winter. The dark brown seeds are collected and crushed to extract blackcurrant seed oil.
