Flaxseed Oil Side Effects

Flaxseed and flaxseed oil supplements seem to be well tolerated in all studies we've seen, with few side effects. Since it is a fiber source, it should be taken with plenty of water. Note that it may then give softer stools, which is why it's sometimes used as a laxative.

The fiber in flaxseed may lower the body's ability to absorb medications that are taken by mouth. Flaxseed should not be taken at the same time as any conventional oral medications or other dietary supplements. (source)
