This Flaxseed oil supplement contains alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 essential fatty acid that helps support cardiovascular, skin, brain and joint health. This oil is certified organic and is derived from pure cold-pressed flaxseeds.
Take one to two softgel capsules daily or as directed by a health professional. Flaxseed oil should be used when evening primrose oil is also used, to favour a more optimal balance between omega-6 and omega-3 oils. The recommended ratio is one part flaxseed oil for every part of evening primrose oil. Warning: Flaxseed oil, and vitamin E are natural blood thinners. Those taking pharmaceutical blood thinners or ASA frequently should discuss supplementation with their physician for dosage advice. Diabetics using flaxseed and Evening Primrose oil may experience better blood sugar control that gradually reduces their insulin requirement, and should be made aware that these changes can occur, in order to avoid hypoglycemic episodes.
