Embracing the honored wisdom of Ayurveda's traditional processes, we expertly craft our blends by infusing a harmonious synergy of Fresh-Ground^® herbs with nature's most cherished Fresh-Pressed^® oils.

Flaxseed oil is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3s support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation in the body. The omega-3s in flaxseed oil may help lower blood pressure, reduce triglyceride levels, and improve overall cardiovascular health. The essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil promote healthier skin and hair by maintaining moisture, improving elasticity, and reducing dryness and flakiness. Flaxseed oil contains lignans, which can have oestrogen-like effects and may contribute to hormonal balance in the body. Flaxseed oil's lubricating properties can help alleviate constipation and promote regular bowel movements.

How much flaxseed oil per day to lower cholesterol?

There is no universally recommended dosage of flaxseed oil for lowering cholesterol. However, a common suggested intake for general health benefits is 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of flaxseed oil per day. This can provide approximately 7-14 grams of ALA, the omega-3 fatty acid found in flaxseed oil. If you are considering using flaxseed oil specifically for cholesterol management, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your overall health, current cholesterol levels, and any other medical conditions or medications you may have. They can also monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

What are some side effects?

Flaxseed oil, particularly when taken in large amounts, may cause digestive discomfort such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, or an upset stomach. Starting with a smaller dose and gradually increasing it can help minimize these effects.Some people may be allergic to flaxseed or flaxseed oil, resulting in symptoms like skin rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

Is it ok to take it everyday?

Yes, it is generally safe to take flaxseed oil daily. Flaxseed oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which provide various health benefits. Taking it daily can help maintain a consistent intake of these beneficial nutrients. However, it's important to keep a few things in mind, follow the recommended dosage instructions or consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs. The typical dosage ranges from 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. Flaxseed oil is susceptible to oxidation, so it should be stored properly in a cool, dark place, preferably in the refrigerator, to maintain its freshness and prevent rancidity.

Is it better to take it in the morning or at night?

There is no definitive answer as to whether it is better to take flaxseed oil in the morning or at night. It largely depends on individual preferences and how it fits into your daily routine. Some people find it more convenient to take it in the morning with breakfast, while others prefer taking it in the evening with dinner. What matters more is consistency in taking flaxseed oil regularly, as opposed to the specific time of day. As long as you take the recommended dosage consistently, you should be able to reap the potential benefits of flaxseed oil, such as its omega-3 fatty acid content.
