Tried it for a couple of weeks for hot flashes. Seemed to help but developed stomach problems. Stopped and was back to normal in a week.

I've been taking this for 2 months. I'm not sure if it's helping but I don't have any side effects, so I figure what will it hurt. One question/thought I've had is how this interacts with Co-Q10 which is supposed to help your blood to clot?

My opthamologist suggested using 2 T of flax seed oil per day for dry eyes. Whereas it does seem to help, it didn't help enough for me to start using contact lenses, even with the use of eye drops. I put the flax seed oil in my morning oatmeal or quinoa. I don't think I have had any bad side effects from flax seed oil. The brand I use is Spectrum organic flax oil and has 500 percent omega # per serving>
