Natures Aid Flaxseed Oil is a premium, cold-pressed plant source of essential fatty acids, providing a rich concentration of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), an Omega-3 fatty acid. It also contains Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid) and Omega-9 (Oleic Acid). Once ingested, the body converts ALA into the long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are critical for cellular health. Flaxseed oil works by supporting the structural integrity of cell membranes and modulating inflammatory pathways. It is particularly valued for its "Lignans"—natural plant compounds that have antioxidant properties and may help support hormonal balance.
In Nigeria, Natures Aid Flaxseed Oil (1000mg) is the premier clinical choice for vegetarians and vegans seeking an alternative to fish oil. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, nitrogen-flushed softgels manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards and stored in cool, dark environments to prevent the highly sensitive oil from oxidizing or becoming rancid.
Important: This is a high-purity botanical lipid. The "Cold-Pressed" Rule: To maintain its biological activity, this oil must never be heated; the softgels should be swallowed whole. The "Digestion" Tip: Because it is a concentrated oil, taking it on an empty stomach may cause mild nausea; always take it with a full meal. Do not use if you have an acute bowel obstruction or severe inflammatory bowel disease. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking blood thinners like Warfarin or Aspirin, as high doses of Omega-3s can slightly increase the time it takes for your blood to clot.

Not recommended for: Children under 12 years of age unless directed by a pediatrician. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with a known allergy to flaxseed or linseed. Use with caution if you have a history of prostate cancer, as some studies suggest limiting high ALA intake in these cases. Consult our pharmacist if you have a scheduled surgery; it is generally advised to stop flaxseed oil at least 2 weeks before the procedure. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant; while beneficial, the dose should be monitored alongside your prenatal nutrition plan.
For Adults: Take one (1) to two (2) softgels daily, preferably with a main meal
The "Freshness" Rule: Keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool, dark place (or the refrigerator) to prevent the oil from going bad
Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water; do not chew or puncture it
Consistency is Vital: Like all essential fats, it takes 4 to 8 weeks of daily use to notice significant changes in skin and joint health
The "Water" Tip: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support the oil’s natural effect on digestive regularity
If a dose is missed, take it with your next meal, but skip it if it is almost time for your next daily dose
Natures Aid Flaxseed Oil is exceptionally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Mild stomach cramps or bloating (especially when starting)

Is Flaxseed Oil better than Fish Oil?
It isn't necessarily "better," but it is different. Fish oil provides direct EPA/DHA, while Flaxseed provides ALA which your body then converts. Flaxseed is the best choice for those who cannot or choose not to eat animal products.
Can this help with my constipation?
Yes. Flaxseed oil acts as a natural lubricant for the digestive tract. Taking it daily with plenty of water can help make bowel movements softer and easier to pass.
Will this interfere with my birth control?
There is no evidence that flaxseed oil interferes with the effectiveness of birth control pills. However, because it can have mild "phytoestrogen" effects, you should inform your doctor if you are on hormone therapy.
Where can I purchase Natures Aid Flaxseed Oil in Nigeria?
You can find premium, verified Natures Aid Flaxseed Oil at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product quality and professional wellness support.
