Lindens Health + Nutrition Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules are a food supplement providing flaxseed oil, a plant source of the omega 3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid (ALA), in softgel capsules. You can adjust the amount you take from 1 to 5 capsules a day, and the label states that 5 capsules provide enough ALA for the authorised cholesterol claim.
**Key Features**
- **Alpha linolenic acid (ALA):** 5 capsules provide 5000mg of flaxseed oil, yielding 2500mg of ALA (omega 3), plus linoleic acid (omega 6) and oleic acid (omega 9).
- **Normal blood cholesterol levels:** ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2g of ALA.
- **Flexible daily amount:** Take 1 to 5 capsules a day, depending on your requirements.
- **Contains bovine gelatine:** The softgel capsule shell is made with bovine gelatine, so these capsules are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
- **90 softgel capsules:** The pack lasts 90 days at 1 capsule a day, or 18 days at 5 capsules a day.
### How many capsules do I need to take to get the cholesterol benefit?
The cholesterol claim applies to a daily intake of 2g of ALA. Lindens states that 5 capsules provide 2500mg (2.5g) of ALA, which is above that amount. The label says you can take 1 to 5 capsules a day depending on your requirements.
### Is Lindens Flaxseed Oil suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. The capsule shell contains bovine gelatine, which comes from cattle. The flaxseed oil inside is from the flax plant.
### Is flaxseed oil the same as linseed oil?
Yes. Lindens states that flaxseed oil is also known as linseed oil, and that it is a natural source of ALA, an omega 3 fatty acid.
### Can I take flaxseed oil capsules while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lindens recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women seek medical advice before using food supplements.
