Regulates intestinal transit, preventing constipation

Among other benefits
Promotes a healthy heart
One of the benefits of flaxseed is its richness in omega-3 fats, whose role in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels and protective effect against cardiovascular diseases is scientifically recognized.
