What Is Flaxseed Oil?

Flaxseed oil is a plant-based oil pressed from flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum). It is best known as a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that the body can partially convert into EPA and DHA. Flaxseed oil is popular among people who want a vegan-friendly omega-3 option or additional support for heart, skin and overall wellness. It is available as softgels, liquid oils and sometimes in blended omega formulas.

Benefits of Flaxseed Oil Supplements

Flaxseed oil is commonly used to support cardiovascular wellness and healthy cholesterol balance as part of a balanced diet. Because omega-3 fatty acids help support normal inflammatory balance, flaxseed oil is also popular for supporting skin hydration and comfort, especially for people with dry skin. Many people use flaxseed oil in wellness routines aimed at healthy aging and joint comfort. While ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA, conversion rates vary, so some people choose flaxseed oil alongside other omega sources depending on their goals.

Uses of Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed oil can be taken daily according to the label instructions. Softgels are convenient for measured dosing, while liquid flaxseed oil can be added to smoothies, yogurt or salads. Because flaxseed oil is sensitive to heat, it should not be used for high-temperature cooking. Storing flaxseed oil in a cool, dark place (often in the refrigerator) helps protect its quality.

Flaxseed Oil: Side Effects and Safety

Flaxseed oil is generally well tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive effects such as loose stools, bloating or nausea, especially at higher doses. Because flaxseed oil can have a mild blood-thinning effect, people taking anticoagulants or aspirin should consult a healthcare professional before use. Pregnant and breastfeeding women and people with medical conditions should also seek medical advice before using flaxseed oil supplements. Always follow label directions and choose reputable products.
