Perilla oil is extracted from the seeds of the perilla plant, a member of the mint family, and is rich in α-linolenic acid (also known as ω-3 fatty acid).
Japanese people tend to consume a lot of ω-6 fatty acids in their diet, but are deficient in ω-3 fatty acids. Perilla oil contains more than 55% α-linolenic acid and is attracting attention as an oil essential for a healthy diet.
Flaxseed oil
Modern Japanese diets tend to be more Westernized, and people tend to consume a lot of n-6 (omega-6) fatty acids (soybean, corn oil, etc.), but are deficient in ω-3 fatty acids (perilla oil, flaxseed oil, fish oil).
All raw materials were processed in Japan.
α-linolenic acid is one of the essential fatty acids that cannot be produced in our bodies and must be obtained from food. Alpha-linolenic acid, which is found in large amounts in perilla oil and linseed oil, is also found in fish oil, winter vegetables, and seaweed. It is often said that eating blue fish makes you smarter, but the source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is alpha-linolenic acid. DHA is produced in fish that eat seaweed and zooplankton that contain a lot of alpha-linolenic acid, and when humans eat those fish, it has a positive effect on the brain.
Even if you don't eat fish, DHA can be synthesized in the human body by taking perilla oil or linseed oil.
Perilla oil and linseed oil
Perilla oil and linseed oil are known to be oils with rich nutritional value, and are particularly rich in "alpha-linolenic acid." The oil extracted from high-quality fruit is directly wrapped in a soft capsule.
Alpha-linolenic acid, which is found in large amounts in perilla and linseed oil, is also found in fish oil, winter vegetables, and seaweed. (Generally, perilla oil refers to perilla oil.) It is often said that eating oily fish makes you smarter, but the source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is alpha-linolenic acid, which is found in large amounts in seaweed and zooplankton. DHA is produced in fish that eat alpha-linolenic acid, and when humans eat it, it has a positive effect on the brain.
Even if you don't eat fish, DHA can be synthesized in the human body by consuming perilla oil or linseed oil, and you can expect the same effect as eating oily fish.
How to use
As a dietary supplement, take 3 to 6 tablets a day with water or lukewarm water.
