HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Clinical Nutrients Flax Oil by Integrative Therapeutics

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This liquid supplement delivers 6 active ingredients, most of them fatty acids. The main players are oleic acid, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, plus polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats — the kinds your body uses for cell membranes and energy.

The product also contains organic flaxseed oil, organic pumpkin seed oil, borage seed oil, and a proprietary rosemary antioxidant blend as inactive ingredients to stabilize and preserve the formula.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: source of essential omega fatty acids.
  • We looked for evidence on: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Stroke, cardiovascular health, cholesterol management.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hypercholesterolemia.
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension, Stroke.

Oleic acid in this product is rated possibly effective for lowering cholesterol and supporting heart health. The evidence here is preliminary and suggests a benefit, but it's not yet as solid as we'd like.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for the other active ingredients in this formula, so we can't say whether they deliver benefits for any specific health goal.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Oleic Acid

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oleic acid itself is generally recognized as safe at food levels — the amount you'd get from olive oil in your diet. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so there isn't enough data to know whether they're safe at higher amounts.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. No adverse effects are documented in our data for the ingredients we could evaluate.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oleic Acid

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take diabetes drugs (blood sugar medication), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — oleic acid may increase their effect and lower your blood sugar more than expected. We could not check the interaction potential of several other ingredients in this formula, so run your complete medication list through the search tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in fatty acid support and your blood sugar is stable. If you take diabetes medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the oleic acid could boost how well your drug works and lower your blood sugar more than intended.

The same goes if you're pregnant, nursing, or taking any prescription medication.

Oleic Acid1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil. It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
