High quality flax oil at a reasonable price. I'm intolerant to fish oil so I use flax oil as an omega-3 supplement. To me it tastes like a cross between raw hazel nuts and raw almonds. I put a tablespoon on my granola every morning- I like the added nutty flavor.

Pay your attn at ingredient of this product:Organic Flax Seed Oil(cold-pressed,unrefined and Non-GE)and a natural antioxidant blend of Organic Rosemary Extract,Natural Mixed Tocopferols,Ascorbyl Palmitate and Citric Acid.Contains soy derivative. No allergy reaction?

I take flax seed oil, and when the local supermarket stopped selling it, I was happy to find it on Amazon. But I find this brand of oil gives me bad gas when I take it, which I believe is due to the oil being bad. I bought two bottles which I don't know what I am going to do with, hate to throw them away.

How exactly does one review a bottle of flax seed oil? Well, it's oil...and I'm taking it on faith that it's flax seed. It is a little expensive especially when you figure in shipping, but when there isn't a near by health foods store, you takes what you can get. Everything I have made with this oil from eggs for breakfast to eggplant parm for dinner has been delish. I take some of the credit...but the rest goes to this quality product--I know my dishes were healthier & my vegetarian hubbie is finally getting all the Omega-3 he needs!

The impression given in all the details on the product page indicates that this is pure flax seed oil. In fact, it contains a number of oils, and while flax seed is said to be the main ingredient, those other oils are not what I was intending to pay for. In fact, for my purposes, the alleged anti-oxidant effects of the other oils get in the way with what I purchased this oil for (cast iron seasoning). I didn't realize this until after I opened the package, otherwise I would have returned it.

If you have any health issues use flax seed oil. I used to have a lot of health issues : skin issues, heart issues, and alergies. After changing the regular oil with flax seed oil, everything is fine. Try it. It should be the organic one.

I ordered this because Flax Seed Oil was recommended by several nutrition books I read. No one warned me how bad it tasted! However, I will grin and bear. The bottle came in good condition and was full. Oragnic. As advertised.

The item was shipped timely in a container kept cold with an ice pack. I have been using this certain oil for seasoning for a skillet, a griddle and a dutch oven, all from strait iron! The certain properties that this oil has enables it to become a kind of "Hard Enamel finish" during the process. So far I have had great results! ..Though after looking closely at the ingredients it does contain a small amount of couple other natural things. But still works great! I have included a link here to explain more of the breakdown and process if anyone is interested.

Since I started taking flax seed oil I have seen quite an improvement in my health. This product seems to be superior to most and the value is great.

I am very happy with my purchase of NOW flax seed oil. I use it once a week for conditioning my hair and I also use it in my vanilla shake as well.

The price was really great for 24 ounces. The item was shipped in a timely manner and was securely packaged. I will definitely use this seller again. Amazon has phenomenal prices. I always look on their website first before making a purchase.

Thank you.
