Flaxseed Oil is good for general health, providing important Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. This makes it important for couples hoping to have a child.

Fatty acids are critical for health - and critical for fertility. If you do not have enough fatty acids in your system and are male, this can lead to low sperm count and low sperm viability. In women, it can lead to irregular cycles and problems conceiving.

There are other things fatty acids help with. They help prevent some cancers, help with depression, help with heart attacks, strokes and irregular heartbeats.

Other sources of Omega-3 fats are:

salmon
tuna
walnuts
sardines
herrings
leafy green veggies

In fact, studies have shown that pregnant woman who eat fatty fish help the eye and brain development of their unborn children. It's a good habit to get into early!
