Flaxseed Oil Side Effects
This is the list of flaxseed oil side effects facts, proper dosage information, and
what
happens when it is taken excessively or by those with allergies.
If you
are beginning a flaxseed oil regimen be sure to start with a small amount and watch for any allergic reactions or drug interactions.
Hormonal Side Effects
Taking excessive amounts of flax seed oil (proper dosage is 1 tablespoon a day) may have hormonal effects that are harmful during pregnancy and breastfeeding. People with hormone-dependent conditions
like breast or prostate cancer should also avoid using flax seed oil. It is not recommended for children under 12.
Allergies
Some people have reported mild to severe allergic reactions to flaxseed oil which include but are not limited to
difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, swelling, itching, hives, or a rash.
Drug Interaction
Flax has the effect of a mild anti-coagulant which means it increases the time it takes for your blood to clot. You should avoid flaxseed oil
if you are taking blood thinners or anti-coagulant medications because its effects when combined with these medications may lead to uncontrolled
bleeding. In general, flax may interact with other drugs so avoid medication for at least 2 hours after eating this type of oil.
