Easy Ways to Use It

Stir into oatmeal, mix into yogurt with berries, or blend into a smoothie. It can also be incorporated into pancakes, muffins, breads, and energy bites. Begin with a small amount, such as a teaspoon, and increase gradually as tolerated, staying within label directions. Drink enough fluids as you add fiber, and store according to the package instructions.

What the Research Suggests

Research on flaxseed suggests potential benefits for regularity and modest reductions in LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. Findings vary by the amount, preparation, duration, and people studied. These studies do not establish that this specific product, or a teaspoon-sized serving, will produce those effects. Flaxseed does not replace prescribed treatment.

Flaxseed can affect medication absorption and may interact with some medicines. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about suitability and timing, especially if you take blood-pressure, diabetes, or blood-thinning medicines.

As with any supplement, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition.

Why We Like It

We like the versatility: one ingredient that fits into familiar breakfasts and baking without requiring a new routine. Its ground format makes it easy to mix into foods, and the mild, nutty flavor offers plenty of everyday possibilities.
