When flaxseed oil decreases the nitric oxide in the rats brains, doesn’t that allow Covid 19 which decreases nitric oxide also to make you sick?

Thank you for the article. Perhaps the potential hormonal interations of flax intake should be mentioned?

Thanks and informative article…
I have recently started taking Flaxseed oil for Peripheral neuropathy (probably due to alcohol/nutrition)…
My dosage – Approx 10/12 ml flax oil (should be approx 6/7 omega 3) – divided in 3 doses…
Mode of intake – 1) flax oil with warm water 2) Blended with yogurt/cottage cheese..
3) Findings: Relief within a few hours from neuro pain…
Query
1) I have pain in my stomach + constipation – please suggest a fix
2) Probably after 2 weeks of regularly taking flax oil along with B complex medicines – Neuro pain symptoms aggravated? Should I increase my dosage?
3) Let me know the recommended dosage for neuropathy + is it safe to take for some months/longer duration and its side effects?
4) Food/Supplement/Prescription medicines/drugs – To be avoided along with flax oil..

I swear by Flaxseed oil and there have been several studies in the USA that advocate taking flaxseed oil to help prevent cancer. Flaxseed is an excellent additive to ones diet for good health.

I am surprised you don’t differentiate between T1 and T2 diabetes. This is very important so please clarify.

Have been taking flaxseed capsules for last 6 weeks. I have suffered gut problems and diarrhoea for last 13 years. Also have a history of eczema. Worse than everything terrible hot flushes through menopause. Have tried everything including some medication on prescription. Always with side effects. Flaxseed oil for me at the minute is working wonders. My bowels are 75% there already, my eczema is 99% better and my hot flushes are down by 75%. All in all very happy. Do not need to be mastermind 2018 with added brain power. Just happy with proven health benefits so far with me personallly,

Goitrogenic effects??? Soybean oils, yes, but flaxseed oils? I think not, but please address and set me straight if I’m wrong.

thanks for the reply. I realise that there are no evidence. I was more thinking in lines of a qualified guess based on what we know of lectins in flaxseed and how flaxseed oil is prepared and produced.

Even though it would be somewhat speculative it would be very helpful to hear your thoughts if my very lectin intolerant wife should take flaxseed oil due to the benefits or stay away due to the lectins.

keep up the good work

In reply to Per Wallander. Hi Per, there's no available evidence regarding lectin levels in flaxseed oil.

I too came here to read about your thoughts about the lectins levels in flaxseedoil. A bit surprised to see it left out considering the focus lectins otherwise get on this site.
Looking forward to the reply :)

In reply to Zsazsa. Hi Zsazsa, the proper processing and preparation of flaxseed products significantly reduces the risk of cyanide poisoning and its effects. And although there is anecdotal evidence that flaxseed oil helps protect the thyroid, there is no scientific evidence available.

It would be super helpful if you addressed lectins levels in your articles that involve food

How about cyanide and goitrogenic effects?
