A friend tells me that taking Flaxseed Oil keeps her regular. I don't see that listed as a benefit of taking Flaxseed or any Omega3. Anyone know?

Hi! I have read that too, but it hasn't affected me like that. But, I am on some other things that could counteract it. But I can tell you the positives for me. It has helped my cholestrol. My doctor advised along with Mega DHA by Jarrow. I take two each of these daily. Extra benefit: my nails are hard as bricks! Hope this helps!

I'm not sure what you mean by regular but the benefits of flaxseed is: Protecting against cancer, Lowering cholesterol, Preventing hot flashes, Improving blood sugar, and Protecting against radiation

Hello :) I eat the oil because the oil is olive oil. I would not eat soybean oil or many of the other canning oils. The olive oil will help provide your OMEGA unsaturated fats, Vitamin E and of course protein in the fish. It is all very good for you. Hope this helps!

Yes, absolutely. Flax meal and flax oil are both very fragile. The oil, as well as the meal, can A) go rancid and B) lose nutritional value quickly. Hope this helps. (sorry to include Flax meal but frequently if someone uses one of them they also use the other)

I went to Nature Made and I construed that they sold off ALL of the flaxseed oil inventory, as none appear on that site. Moreover, the site page has a duration of mere minute(s), another worry-some factor. Last, the label would identify the strength off the Omega3 content (Alpha L., Linoleic Acid and Oleic Acid) . Anyway, Puritan Pride's figures are best: 500, 110 and 110mgs, respectively. Pricing is best, too. Shop you must. Amazon is best for that. Rosie-39@ live.com

According to all the research I've done on coconut oil, it is definitely beneficial health-wise to consume it, whether by itself or in things. I have taken it by itself, but couldn't get past the oil in my mouth. Might try again, though.

NO. It is not. As has been said, you can take both because Flax oil only contains omega-3 in ALA form (check the label) and that form, as with all plant-sourced omega-3 (except for algae), is very hard for our bodies to convert to any useful omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Fish oils, on the other hand, are "good to go" with no conversion necessary. I love flax for its moisturizing abilities, but also take fish oil as my real omega-3 source. As for flax being somehow cleaner because this one is organic, look for a molecularly distilled, domestic (Alaskan) type of fish oil (or just pure wild salmon oil) and you will be fine. I use Fisol by Nature's Way. Clean and Alaskan pollack and hake sourced. NO. It is not.

DHA and EPA are part of omega 3 fatty acids. You want to get both parts. Vegans have to plan their diets carefully to get omega 3, because the traditional sources come from animal products, mainly fish and fish oil. A vegan supplement is a good idea. Also get traditional food sources of EPA; this includes walnuts and pumpkin seeds. My advice is to use about 1/4 cup of walnuts a day. Use a high quality extra virgin olive oil for your oil, but don't use it for frying; high temperatures destroy the health benefits. Also use plant sources of omega 3 such as leafy greens, broccoli, and winter squash such as butternut and acorn squash. These foods add small amount, but pack a wonder total nutrition package which is important.

I don't know for sure, but I think not. According to the Supplemental Facts on the back, in addition to the flaxseed oil, "other ingredients" are vegan capsule (no other information provided), organic orange oil, mixed tocopherols, and silica all from non-animal sources. It is also "free of yeast, soy, wheat, gluten, starch, sugar, salt, hexane, dairy, egg, fish, artificial color."

I never thought about using the flax seed this way since it's so bland alone, however your snack idea sounds yummy. Or yogurt also sounds delicious.....But thanks for the snack tip!!

If you go to the Carlson Labs website it describes that the children fish oil 'has 800 mg of Omega -3 Fatty Acids per each 1/2 teaspoonful' and that is Vitamin A & D free. The Carlson oil I use (adults) states it has 1,600 mg of Omega per teaspoon . . . And has Vit E. I have a 7 year old boy and I give him half a teaspoon/day. I don't think that there is much difference but it might be worth for you to contact Carlson directly. Good luck!

Research in Germany and (Denmark too I believe)...shows that your Omega 3 index increases faster with the Triglyceride form...and there is quicker absorption too...so you get more for your $ :)

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

Their website has nice info regarding the fish oil and how it compares to other fish oils on the market. Very minimal processing, comes from salmon, if I recall correctly. I did some research before choosing and have been very satisfied.

The omegas you list are not "added" to this wild salmon oil. They are the omegas naturally found in wild salmon, just like if you ate the fish itself. This is a completely natural product. :)

The ultra with Omega-3 was the first Move Free product I have used. My husband and I have good resultswith the ultra Omega-3. My husband had pain in his knee and I had arthritis pain prior to take the UltraOmega-3.

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspxI don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain.You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

Supportive but inconclusive research shows that consumption of both i=omega 3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. (FDA approved health statement). Main advantage to me: non-fish.
