HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg by Exchange Select

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Other Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (65 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Flaxseed Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,300 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This softgel contains 5 active ingredients: a blend of fatty acids from cold-pressed flaxseed oil, including oleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid. The product also holds inactive ingredients — gelatin (the capsule shell), glycerin, and purified water — that help deliver the oil in an easy-to-swallow form.

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: Heart health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension — and 4 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, one of the fatty acids in this product, is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and heart disease (coronary heart disease). We don't have effectiveness data on file for the other fatty acids in this blend.

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 from food sources like olive oil is generally well tolerated. However, the safety data for concentrated supplements — the amount you'd get in a capsule — is limited, especially during pregnancy and lactation.

Food amounts are considered safe, but supplement-level doses haven't been well studied.

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 (blood sugar medications), double-check this product with your doctor or pharmacist first — oleic acid may increase their effects and lower your blood sugar more than expected. We couldn't check the interaction data for several fatty acids in this blend, so discuss those with your healthcare provider as well.

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 looking to add fatty acids to your routine, though the evidence for oleic acid centers on heart health and cholesterol. If you take diabetes medication, check your specific drugs with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the oleic acid here might strengthen how well they work.

Talk it over with your healthcare provider to be sure it fits your individual situation.

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.

Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg by Exchange Select: Common Questions

Does Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg by Exchange Select interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg 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?
Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 flaxseed oil really help lower cholesterol?
The oleic acid in this product is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart disease based on research showing that diets rich in oleic acid (like those with olive oil) can help with cholesterol levels. That said, 'possibly effective' means the evidence is preliminary — it's not a guarantee it'll work the same way in supplement form for every person.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for flaxseed oil supplements at this dose during pregnancy and lactation isn't well established. Food amounts of oleic acid are considered safe, but we don't have enough research on concentrated supplements. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it if you're pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding.
What if I take a diabetes medication — is this safe for me?
Oleic acid in this product may boost how well antidiabetes drugs work, which could lower your blood sugar more than expected. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they may want to monitor your blood sugar more closely or adjust your medication dose.
What are all these fatty acids for?
These are the natural components of flaxseed oil. Oleic acid is the one with the most research behind it for heart health and cholesterol; the others are part of the whole-oil profile but we don't have established effectiveness data for them individually in this product.
Does this product have a lot of fillers?
The product is mostly the flaxseed oil itself. The inactive ingredients are gelatin (the capsule), glycerin, and water — all standard components that help create and stabilize the softgel form.
