HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Flax Oil 1,000 mg by Ron Teeguarden Nutraceuticals

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.
  • “Flax Seed Oil, Cold Expeller-Pressed” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 3 active ingredients: alpha-linolenic acid, oleic acid, and cis-linoleic acid — all fatty acids found naturally in flax seed oil. The oil is cold expeller-pressed to preserve its composition.

The softgel capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, water, and carob.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Oleic Acid's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Oleic Acid for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Oleic acid, one of the ingredients in this product, is rated possibly effective for lowering cholesterol and supporting heart health based on available evidence. We don't have effectiveness ratings in our data for the other active ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Flaxseed 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 it in normal food amounts — olive oil, for example, is a common dietary source. At supplement-level doses, though, safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited.

Food amounts are considered safe during pregnancy and lactation, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied in these situations. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

No adverse effects were reported in the data we hold for 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 like insulin or oral medications for type 2 diabetes, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — oleic acid may increase their effects on blood sugar. We could not check alpha-linolenic acid and cis-linoleic acid for interactions, so run your complete medication list through the tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This flax oil supplement may help support heart health and cholesterol levels, but it could potentially increase the effect of diabetes medications — so check with your doctor if you take insulin or blood sugar drugs before starting. We weren't able to check two of its three active ingredients for interactions.

Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist to see if it fits your situation.

Flax Seed Oil, Cold Expeller-Pressed5 drug types · 597 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, antibiotics might interfere with the metabolism of flaxseed constituents, which could potentially alter the effects of flaxseed.
Some potential benefits of flaxseed are thought to be due to its lignan content. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a major lignan precursor, is found in high concentrations in flaxseed. SDG is converted by bacteria in the colon to the lignans enterolactone and enterodiol. Antibiotics alter the flora of the colon, which could theoretically alter the metabolism of flaxseed.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, using flaxseed in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding.
Some clinical evidence suggests that the oil contained in flaxseed can decrease platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, flaxseed might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk for hypoglycemia.
Some clinical research suggests that flaxseed can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, flaxseed might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research shows that daily flaxseed consumption, especially for longer than 12 weeks, modestly reduces blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, taking flaxseed might decrease the effects of estrogens.
Flaxseed contains lignans with mild estrogenic and possible antiestrogenic effects. The lignans seem to compete with circulating endogenous estrogen and might reduce estrogen binding to estrogen receptors, resulting in an anti-estrogen effect. It is unclear if this effect transfers to exogenously administered estrogens.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Flax Oil 1,000 mg has a known interaction with 597 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Flax Oil 1,000 mg 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.
Does this product work for cholesterol and heart health?
The oleic acid in this product is rated possibly effective for lowering cholesterol and supporting heart health based on current evidence. That said, the evidence is still preliminary — talk with your doctor about how it fits into your overall approach to heart health.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data we have doesn't give us a clear yes or no. Oleic acid in normal food amounts is considered safe during pregnancy and lactation, but supplement-level doses haven't been well studied in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's best for you and your baby.
What are oleic acid and the other ingredients in here?
Oleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and cis-linoleic acid are all fatty acids naturally present in flax seed oil. This product uses cold expeller-pressed flax seed oil to keep those oils intact.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
We don't have adverse effects reported in our data for oleic acid. If you notice any unusual symptoms after starting, stop and let your doctor or pharmacist know.
I take a diabetes medication — is this safe for me?
The oleic acid in this product may increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs, which could lower your blood sugar more than usual. Before you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide whether it's right for you and whether your dose needs adjusting.
