HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Flax Liquid Gold by Health From The Sun

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “organic Flaxseed Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (13.75 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains three active ingredients: linoleic acid, oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid — all fatty acids found naturally in flaxseed oil. Linoleic acid is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat, oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat, and alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fat.

Together they make up the nutritional profile of flaxseed. The product contains no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 heart and wellness support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension — and 3 related terms.
  • 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 is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. That means there's some evidence it may help with these conditions, but the research isn't yet definitive.

The effectiveness of the other fatty acids in this product isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Flaxseed Oil 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 eat normal amounts from food sources like olive oil. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied, especially in pregnancy and lactation — the safety data we hold doesn't give us enough information to say whether supplement-level amounts are okay during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

No adverse effects are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Flaxseed Oil 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 (medications for blood sugar control), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — oleic acid may increase how strongly those drugs lower your blood glucose. We couldn't check linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, so run those through the search tool on this page with your full medication list.

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 omega and monounsaturated fatty acids for heart health, since oleic acid has some evidence for high cholesterol and heart disease. If you take blood sugar medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — oleic acid might strengthen how those drugs work.

For pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any medications you're on, it's worth a quick conversation with your own healthcare provider before you start.

organic Flaxseed Oil3 drug types · 293 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, using flaxseed oil in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding.
Small clinical studies show that consuming flaxseed oil might decrease platelet aggregation and increase bleeding time.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining flaxseed oil with other antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical evidence suggests that long-term consumption of flaxseed oil can modestly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, while other clinical research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ezetimibe (Zetia)

Concomitant use of flaxseed oil and ezetimibe reduces the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid from flaxseed oil.
In one clinical study, concomitant consumption of ezetimibe 10 mg daily with flaxseed oil 2 grams providing 1 gram of alpha-linolenic acid daily blocked the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid, resulting in an overall reduction in alpha-linolenic plasma levels from baseline.

Flax Liquid Gold by Health From The Sun: Common Questions

Does Flax Liquid Gold by Health From The Sun interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Flax Liquid Gold has a known interaction with 379 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Flax Liquid Gold contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
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.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data to say whether supplement doses of oleic acid are okay during pregnancy or lactation. Food amounts are considered fine, but the concentrated supplement hasn't been well studied in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice that fits your specific situation.
Will this help lower my cholesterol?
Oleic acid is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol, meaning there's some research suggesting it may help, but the evidence isn't yet conclusive. If cholesterol is a concern for you, discuss with your doctor whether this is worth adding alongside your other steps.
What's oleic acid and why is it in flaxseed?
Oleic acid is a healthy fat naturally present in flaxseed oil and in foods like olive oil. It's one of three fatty acids that make up the nutritional content of flaxseed, alongside linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Oleic acid may increase the effect of blood sugar medications, which could lower your glucose more than expected. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product so they can help you monitor safely.
Does this have any side effects?
No adverse effects are documented in our data. That doesn't mean none can occur, so if you notice anything unusual after starting, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
