User Reviews for flaxseed oil

I am taking a combination flax seed oil and fish oil every day and it works, i stop taking them and i had the problem again, so i continue taking them and I am fine.

My eye doctor recommended 2000 mg daily about 5 years ago because I have chronic dry eye and a bad result after lasik surgery. At first, I had diarhea but then my body got used to it. Now I never suffer from constipation when I take the pills. They also really worked for my eyes. I had an amazing recovery from the surgery and I think the flaxseed helped. Also I recently had a baby and am nursing. My OB and Baby doctor know I take flaxseed and said it was fine during pregnancy and nursing. She is a smart little girl. Maybe the DHA in flaxseed helped.

Been taking in oil form for 6 months. results lowered my bad cholesterol, overall cholesterol and dropped triglicerides. total cholesterol was 389 now 162. i fell much better mentally and physcially than I have in years. also helped swelling due to oseo.

I have been having an increasing number of hot flashes, which have kept me awake at night. Not wanting to take hormones or black cohosh I came across information on flaxseed oil. I started taking two 1200mg caplets of flaxseed oil for a week, and have noticed a significant improvement in just a couple of days.

no adverse side effects. I have been taking flax before tumor removal surgery and after.

I have always had very dry eyes. Now my eyes are much better. I've even had tear duvt plugs and cauterization, the flax seed oil has worked better than either of the previous treatments

I started taking 'Flora' high lignan flaxseed oil about 1 month ago and find a big difference in my eyes and skin. I choose to use the liquid which needs to be refrigerated because there are no preservatives in it.

Using it in Johanna Budwig diet= flaxseed oil 6 tbs to 6 oz organic cottage cheese. My diagnosis was stage IV cancer metz to the lymph nodes. They gave me 1 year to live. I didn't do chemo or radiation - I look and feel like I have nothing wrong with me 11 months into my year. Go Johanna!!

I'm Diabetic and I was using flaxseeds oil to loose some weight but it instead of loosing weight it works on other way. It seems like it controlling weight but it also controlling my sugar level as well. My hemoglobin A1C reduces dramatically with out giving any effort.

I had laser surgery on my eyes 2 1/2 years ago and was told by the doctor to take flaxseed oil for eight weeks. I benefited much more from this regiment than I recognized. I noticed that when I wasn't taking flaxseed that my knee joints would ache. When I would continue to take fS the stifnness would subside. The hot flashes that I was having are gone. I didn't know that FS had so many benefits for my body personally. FS has become a regular dietary supplement for me.

i feel some relief from diabetic neuropathy and a reduction in blood pressure-I believe the 1000 Flaxseed oil x 3 daily have a impact

My eye doctor suggested it for dry eye and said it would work on my dry skin as well. I use 1000 mg capsules. I've notice a small difference in my eyes but my skin is still dry. Hoping my bloodwork next week will show a drop in triglycerides.

good

This article states that Flax Oil has not been proven to lower cholesterol. I was taking 2T per day for two months and my cholesterol went down by just over 35 points. I would say that it does lower cholesterol, however I seemed to allergic to it and had to stop taking it and my cholesterol went back up again.

I cannot remeber the exact reason the doctor advised me to take this supplement as I had several health issues at the time one of which was ance. Which i've suffered from since my teenage years and I am now 30. I have only been taking flaxseed oil along with cod liver oil for about a month or so now. And it has done wonders for my skin. My skin is 97% clear the majority of the time. This is after I had been on antibiotics and countless topical creams over the years which would work about 70-80%. This by far is the best thing ive used for my face thus far with the exception of birth control pills (ortho-tricylcen) which seemed to keep my blemish prone skin under control. However, this is way cheaper and has other health benefits too. I occasionally will breakout near my period but even so its no where as bad as it previously was. So I would highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to get their facial ance under control as I had been for so many years.Read More Read Less

My O/B Dr said I could use this drug for hot flashes. I started it about 6 months ago before I started having hot flashes. I havent noticed a considerable difference. But I read the Omega 3 fatty acids is good for you.

I have been on flaxseed for 5 months and have swollen legs and feet ever since I started taking flaxseed.

Unexplained weight gain?
