Other than the obvious physical difference, how does this compare with flax oil?

I can't answer this question, because flax seed oil is the only one I've used. Sorry.

Molly, I've never taken the oil. My doctor suggested the capsules, and I really like them.

flaxseed oil contains more ALA than flaxseeds. Flaxseeds are a whole food and therefore contain a host of other nutrients that are not included in its extracted oil.

Am not familiar with the Hexane processing. I personally utilized the product as an emulsifier in my smoothies, as a healthier alternative to flaxseed.

I don't feel that it is the same. The coconut oil is wonderful to cook with while the coconut butter is not. It is mused as a topping I think. Two different products for 2 different purposes.

There is no difference. My previous purchase of this product cost $23.97 for a pack of 3. Now the price by this vendor, which was originally supplied directly from Amazon is now $40.99. It has almost doubled. What a shame! I originally started to use it to make cat food for my Mr. Pumpkin before he died of lymphoma. Now I use it along with omega 3 oil capsules to keep a feral colony of cats on an increased fat diet for the winter. They love the oil and are all doing so well on it! Hope this helps!

There's no difference, other than size. I will caution you, though, that the packaging has been a problem for me. I ordered one, and it arrived broken. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I tried again, and again received a broken bottle.

Now Foods is cheaper quality. This brand is a richer quality, and you can feel it working on your scalp immediately. I don't like Now Foods oils. I hope this helps.

I am not sure, I have never used almond oil. I cannot give that comparison. sorry.

I've not seen differences at my stretch marks which are already made. This oil might be used only for prevention.

It seems light. The same consistency as neutrogena sesame oil. I use it after the shower and pat dry. It's really nice

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)

From what I've seen the top oil is a little thicker. Both are very durable. I would think the top oil is a little more liquid resistant. You can't go wrong with either

Dear Ms.In my opinion Pro EMU oil seems to have provided all the benefits the Ultra active is touted to do !! ...however ,that said I have to say the ultra absorbs for some reason faster facially ! And a little less greasy on the face ! ....on the rest of the body PRO feels very silky !....so it could be just me !

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper.Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

The flaxseed oil is organic, don't know if it's GMO free, but it's pure, nothing artificial, unnecessary chemicals, and those are the type of supplements I take. Any vegetarian supplement sold and recommended by knowledgeable employees from Whole Foods Market is good enough for me.

Not sure of the difference. If I had to guess I might think the balm is heavier, more waxy maybe? This cream is very lightweight. My sister swears by it. I'm always checking out different products. I liked it when I used it, the cream was absorbed easily into the skin.

"Boiled" has drying agents in the composition. I takes a few days to dry thoroughly. "Raw" linseed oil will take weeks to dry. Unless you have a special purpose for requiring the non-drying aspect of raw, you should only consider boiled.

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.
