Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from NOW's liquid Organic Flax Seed Oil?
This softgel version delivers the same type of organic flax seed oil in a pre-measured capsule with no refrigeration required, while the liquid version needs to be refrigerated and used within 6 to 8 weeks of opening.
Should I take this with food?
Yes, NOW's directions call for taking it with food.
Can this cause digestive upset?
NOW notes it may cause mild, temporary gastrointestinal disturbances in some people, which is common with concentrated oil supplements.
Who should not take this without talking to a doctor?
Anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication, has a medical condition, or has a known flax seed allergy should consult a physician before use.
What does the gelatin in the softgel mean for a vegetarian diet?
The softgel shell is made with bovine gelatin, so this particular product is not vegetarian or vegan even though the oil inside is plant-derived.
