HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Filtered Flax Oil by 365 Everyday Value

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Filtered Flax Oil contains 5 active ingredients: polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid — all fatty acids naturally present in flaxseed oil. The product also contains cold-pressed unrefined organic flaxseed oil as an inactive ingredient.

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: omega-3 fatty acids support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, Stroke, cardiovascular health, triglyceride reduction.
  • 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, one of the active ingredients here, is possibly effective for managing high cholesterol and supporting heart health, based on preliminary research. We hold no effectiveness data for the other fatty acid ingredients in this product.

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 is generally recognized as safe when you consume it in normal food amounts, like from olive oil. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you before starting it.

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 antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or similar medications that lower blood sugar), flag this product with your pharmacist or doctor before use — oleic acid may strengthen their effect, and your blood sugar will need monitoring.

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.

Filtered Flax Oil may be worth considering if you're looking to support cholesterol and heart health, though the evidence is still preliminary. If you take diabetes medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — this product might increase their effects.

Anyone with other prescriptions should run them through the medication checker below before starting.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Filtered Flax Oil with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

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.

Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help my cholesterol?
Oleic acid, an ingredient in this product, is possibly effective for high cholesterol based on preliminary research. That said, the evidence is still developing, so talk with your doctor about whether it fits into your overall plan.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for concentrated supplement doses of oleic acid during pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't solid yet. The amounts in food are fine, but we don't have enough information about supplement-level doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Are there any side effects I should know about?
No adverse effects are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That doesn't mean none exist — if you notice any unusual symptoms after starting, let your pharmacist or doctor know.
