Sports Research Vegan Flaxseed Oil (1200mg) Herbal Supplement with Plant-Based ALA Omega 3 - Vegan Certified & Non-GMO Verified - Gluten, Soy & Carrageenan Free (180 Veggie Softgels)

Seems to help with regulating the digestive system

I started using the flaxseed oil because I want to reduce inflammation. I take one capsule twice a day. I have many food and environmental allergies, which of course means that I have lots of inflammation. My functional medicine doctor recommended that I begin to take fish oil as part of my gut healing regiment to reduce inflammation. I initially started using doTERRA's EO Megas, and while they were good, it left me burping essential oils all day. I switched to Sports Research flaxseed because I am attempting to transition to more of a plant-based diet and felt that my supplements should also be plant-based. About two weeks after starting Sports Research flaxseed oil, I noticed that my skin seems to be clearing up and my digestive system seems to be regulating. I will note that my diet had changed somewhat, but even when I went back to eating junk (I had a rough couple of weeks), my digestive system still seems to be much better than it was before. There has also been a significant decrease in my abdominal pain. I also have to note that even though the flaxseed oil does make me burp, there is no aftertaste at all. I have been taking the flaxseed oil for a little over a month today, but I plan to continue taking it and I am looking forward to the long-term benefits that it offers

Concious Choice and feeling great

We have been eating flaxseed softgels since last two year from NatureMade and we are seeing benefits of it. But lately, we found NatureMade softgels coating has made from gelatin - obtained from various animal body parts. This made us feel so bad and guilty. To improve our health how come we sacrifice animals ?? We were looking for vegan/vegetarian option desperately and found vegan option from SR Sports Research. After trying for more than a month we are experiencing great benefits in health and more important happiness maybe that's due to our conscious choice. I love this vegan product

Quality vegan product

As a long-time vegetarian, I encorpoated flaxseed into my diet several years ago to ensure an adequate omega 3 intake. I had initially been with a different brand but decided to switch after noticing a strong, rancid odor upon opening the last few bottles. No such issues with Sports Research. I take one softgell with every meal and have noticed that the arthritis in my hands and shoulders are causing much less discomfort than before. My nails and hair are growing faster and seem healthier than ever. The softgells are larger than some people may prefer, but they are easier to swallow than one might expect, so don't let that keep you from giving this quality product a try

Great for me and my dog!

This is a great alternative to fish oil. Flax Seed Oil helps to minimize my hot flashes, I definitely notice if I forget to take them. I also share these with my dog for a shinier coat and better health. I have been buying Sports Research products for almost 5 years and am always happy with the results

Good product

I just started taking this product and will do a review again later. I love that there is an alternative to fish oil because I cannot tolerate it due to IBS issues. So far this hasn't caused my stomach any distress. I love that it has omega 3, 6 & 9. I also love that it is non GMO certified, certified vegan, gluten free and GMP certified. Quality ingredients is what I was looking for and over 300mg. Most oils you see start at 300mg. Right now I'm taking 2 a day instead of 3 because the bottle only has 180 softgels and there's two of us taking this. Update: I have been using this a couple of weeks and have seen a big change in my eyes. Pun intended. I had a severe case of dry eye and my doc wanted me to use fish oil. I cannot tolerate fish oils so I tried this instead and I have noticed a huge difference. I take one capsule only. I was taking it 2-3 times a day and it was causing stomach upset and bleeding so I went down to one pill and everything is right as rain. Update: Was told to take fish oils for my dry eye and vision but I could not tolerate some brands I've tried. Tried your flaxseed oil and I can only take it once a day as it was causing some intestinal problems and some bleeding taking it two to theee times a day. So far so good with one pill and my eyes are not as irritated and dry as they were. I will keep taking them one pill for eye relief

One of my Favorite Supplements and it WORKS

I have been taking this supplement for over a year and I am so glad that I took my doctors advice. I started using the flaxseed oil because I want to reduce inflammation. I take one capsule twice a day. Flaxseed is an important part of my cancer fighting protocol. Thanks Sports Research for a great product! About two weeks after starting Sports Research flaxseed oil, I noticed that my skin seems to be clearing up and my digestive system seems to be regulating and it has reduced my inflammation in my finger joints

Y'all need some Omegas in your life

It's perfect for vegans, especially really lazy and junk food vegans like me. Im not trying to eat flax or quinoa everyday! It wont change your life or make you feel any different most likely but it is healthy I guess. Ps if you make a review they give you a free bottle or something like that. Thats why I'm reviewing. I love free stuff

Dry eye syndrome-update

Update: My dry patch on my eye has gotten smaller since taken Flaxseed oil. I've been taking flaxseed oil along with krill oil softgels for about a year. I have dry eye sydrome and have a dry patch on my eye. Since I've been taking both of these, I do not have the constant irritation in my eye. I'm hoping when I go back to the eye doctor, the dry patch will be gone and I can wear my contacts again. UPDATE: Since we live in AZ and it is dry here right now, I haven't noticed the irritation since taking flaxseed oil. I have a good feeling about my eye appointment coming up in December

Great stuff, no need to look further!

I was pretty excited when I learned Sports Research released a Vegan Flaxseed oil. I've tried other brands of flaxseed oil supplements this one seems to not have any odor or aftertaste from my experience. Well made as are all of Sports Research products. No artificial stuff here. The gelcap is a bit larger than some of tried but considering you're getting 1200 mg it's on par. I use several of Sports Research products including MCT oil, Vitamin D and Krill oil and have no need to look further. They all work well and live up to their promise. Cheers

Saved my hair, nails, and cholesterol!

Due to my recent diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, I've been deficient in my omega 3s to the point that my hair is falling out in clumps! I have bald spots... I'm only 22 years old and I'm already losing hair. My cholesterol is also high due to my lack of omega 3s. Because of this illness, I cannot eat a regular diet, I can only eat very few things without internal bleeding. I mainly consist of bread, bananas, and oatmeal. Veggies and fruits, I have to drink them when my stomach can handle the fiber. Regular flaxseeds tend to be too hard on my GI tract, so this easy supplement form saves me! This product helped me so much, my hair is growing back! My nails are stronger and no longer peeling. This is an amazing product to get your omega 3s without too much omega 6s, which causes inflammation (which is the main issue of my illness). Thank you so much, I'll be using this always in the future!!
