About flaxseed

Flaxseed is packed full of protein, magnesium and omega 3.

Protein is good for growing and maintaining muscle mass as well as looking after your bones. Magnesium is also important for your bones and teeth but also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Last but not least, omega 3 is good for helping you to maintain healthy levels of cholesterol in your blood. A fantastic combination of health benefits to pack into your breakfast.
