Flaxseed Oil From Vitamin Shoppe (a trusted company),
By
This review is from: Vitamin Shoppe - Certified Organic Flax Oil, 16 fl oz liquid (Health and Beauty)
Flax is a plant. The seeds in the flax plant are filled with flaxseed oil, (sometimes called linseed oil). The seeds contain fatty oils called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid. ALA is the omega-3 oil in flaxseed. Flaxseed contains both omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Flaxseed is nature's richest storehouse of omega-3 fatty acids, and contains more than twice as much omega-3 oil as fish oils, and it costs less , ounce for ounce. Flax also contains other important substances like lignans, which may protect against some types of cancer. The husks of the seeds are rich in mucilage. Both the seed oil and mucilage have many nutritional and therapeutic properties.
I have used Vitamin Shoppe brand Flax and have no complaints. There are many potential benefits from taking Flax seed oil: Flaxseed Oil lowers cholesterol levels, thereby improving cardiovascular health and lessening the risk of arteriosclerosis. Flaxseed also contains plant nutrients like phytoestrogens. These are natural estrogen-like substances that can lessen the discomfort of menopause. Flaxseed oil may lower high blood pressure. Flaxseed oil helps some people improve their psoriasis and eczema, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Flaxseed may also reduce the itching, swelling, and redness associated with certain skin disorders such as acne. Flaxseed oil has a positive effect on rheumatoid arthritis due to its ability to calm inflammation. Flaxseed reduces LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (the body's "bad cholesterol") and lowers triglyceride levels. Research shows that flaxseed oil gives much better protection against heart attacks than canola oil or olive oil. Taking flaxseed may reduce cancer risk. This is because flaxseed contains the richest sources of lignan building blocks, which play a major role in preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancer. New research indicates that the lignans in flaxseed have both short-term and long-term protective effects against colon cancer. This form is all liquid oil. You pour out what you wish to take each day. I have spilled some doing this - it can be a bit messy. The benefits of Flaxseed Oil are cumulative. Commit to taking it every day without fail. Like any herbal supplement, don't expect dramatic quick results. The results you get will be subtle at first and then build over time. For specific conditions such as Rhematoid arthritis, exzema, psoriasis, acne, etc,. the results should be apparent in 4-8 weeks. Be patient! Know that even if you don't "feel" different, you are sill protecting your body from the harmfull effects of many disease conditions. konedog

Great but expensive,
This review is from: Vitamin Shoppe - Certified Organic Flax Oil, 16 fl oz liquid (Health and Beauty)
This contains 16 servings, which means it will last you half a month. That's pretty expensive when you break the price down by serving and whne compared with a 1 month supply of the flax capsules that costs $7. However, liquid flax oil is a lot more concentrated than the pills you buy at the store.
A flax oil pill typically contains 1000mg of flaxseed oil and a suggested dosage of 2-3 times a day. So with pills you're getting 2-3g of flax oil a day. With liquid flax oil, you're getting 14g of flax. If you are buying this for it's purported treatment of acne, sunburn, diverticular disorders, hemorrhoids, and more serious health conerns, it's probably best to consume the liquid flax oil. If you just want the benefits of lower cholesterol and heart disease prevention, a pill a few times a day, combined with fish oil should be all you need. It's definitely easier though to take a spoonful of this in the morning than 3 flax pills a day, and when you loook at value, you're getting 224g of flax oil in this bottle when compared with a typical 100g in a 100 pill bottle of the capsules. It all depends on what you need it for.

The liquid is way better than the pills,
This review is from: Vitamin Shoppe - Certified Organic Flax Oil, 16 fl oz liquid (Health and Beauty)
I'm taking flaxseed oil for it's tremendous health benefits. I highly recommend the Vitamin Shoppe brand over any other because of it's quality and price. The Vitamin Shoppe brand is manufactured by Barlean's. Therefore, it's high quality because it's Barleans but it's cost effective. Basically the same as Barleans just a different package. Anyone who knows about Flaxseed oil will know that the highest quality flaxseed oil is Organic, cold pressed, highest lignan by Barleans. So if you are on a budget and still want the top quality then this brand is for you. Also, I recommend the liquid over the pills because of potency. You get a lot more bang for you buck with the liquid versus the pill. If you don't believe me just compare the labels and you will see! Also, please note that the liquid must be kept refrigerated in this dark bottle because of light and heat effects on the potentcy quality of this product. Personally I just buy from my local Vitamin Shoppe in store but if you don't have one near you order online.
