- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2024Review for: 'Flaxseed Oil Capsules 3000mg | Great Source of Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) | Fish Oil Alternative | 2 x 180 High Strength Capsules | Manufactured in The UK'
First things first – flaxseed oil capsules are a nutritional supplement, not a medicine, so if you’re having medical problems seek proper medical advice without delay! Also, some supplements can interact with your prescription medications – be safe and check with your GP. Read the information on the bottle.
I was already taking a daily cod liver oil or fish oil capsule when I read about the benefits of flaxseed oil. I learned that fish oil and flaxseed oil both contain essential fatty acids - these are polyunsaturated fatty acids that must come from the foods we eat because our bodies cannot synthesise them even though they are necessary for our health. There are two families of these essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6 - and there are three primary types of omega-3. Fish oil has two of the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while flaxseed oil has a third (plant-based omega-3), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). My preference was to add flaxseed oil to my routine, I take one capsule along with a fish oil capsule daily.
The direction on the bottle which contains 180 capsules is that adults should take 3 daily – on that basis it’s a 60-day supply. The current price is £19.99 for 2 bottles – that works out at £5 a month, which I feel is quite reasonable. I’ve bought from ‘SimplySupplements’ several times and have always been happy with my purchases.
