HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Udo's Oil High Lignan 3-6-9 Blend by Flora
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
This product is a 5-ingredient blend of essential fatty acids and oils. The active components include oleic acid (a monounsaturated fat), linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and other polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats — the building blocks your body needs for cell structure and hormone production.
The formula also contains a lignan-rich fiber blend and is rounded out with inactive oils (flax, sunflower, sesame, coconut, evening primrose, rice bran, and oat bran oils) plus soy lecithin and mixed tocopherols (a form of vitamin E) as preservatives.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Oleic acid, the one ingredient in this product we could evaluate, is rated possibly effective for lowering cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and reducing risk of coronary heart disease. That means early evidence points in a promising direction, but larger or better-designed studies are needed to be sure.
The effectiveness of the other fatty acids in this blend — linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid — isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Oleic acid from food sources like olive oil is generally recognized as safe in normal dietary amounts. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the safety data advises caution at higher levels during those times.
The product contains no reported adverse effects in our data. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this oil blend is right for you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or other blood-sugar-lowering medications), alert your doctor or pharmacist before you start this product — oleic acid may increase their effect and lower your blood sugar more than expected. For all other medications, check the search tool on this page with your exact drug names.
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.
Udo's Oil is a source of omega fatty acids that may help with cholesterol and heart health, but it can potentially boost the effect of antidiabetes medications. If you take insulin or other blood-sugar-lowering drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — you may need dose adjustments or closer monitoring.
Anyone else should run their full medication list through the interaction checker below before taking it.

Udo's Oil High Lignan 3-6-9 Blend by Flora Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Udo's Oil High Lignan 3-6-9 Blend by Flora does interact with at least one medication class through its oleic acid content.
The most serious documented interaction is Moderate in severity: oleic acid may increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs (medications that lower blood sugar). Early research in people with type 2 diabetes shows that a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil lowers fasting blood sugar more than a diet rich in linoleic acid, suggesting the oil could make these drugs work harder than intended.

Altogether, these interactions span 86 individual medications.
We could not check three other ingredients in this product — polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid — because we hold no interaction data for them. That doesn't mean they're risk-free; it means we have no monograph on file to review.

For each ingredient in Udo's Oil High Lignan 3-6-9 Blend 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 Acid
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.
