Colza oil

Rapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of Brassica napus, an oilseed plant cultivated mainly in Europe and North America. It stands out for its particularly balanced lipid composition, combining monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids in favourable proportions. Its richness in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, makes it one of the most valuable plant sources of this nutrient. ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. Rapeseed oil also provides linoleic acid (omega-6) and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant. In the context of a modern diet that is often unbalanced in favour of omega-6, supplementation with rapeseed oil can help rebalance the intake of essential fatty acids, particularly for people who consume little oily fish or plant-based omega-3-rich sources.
