Solgar Earth Source Organic Flaxseed Oil 16 Oz

Excellent delivery - bubble wrapped securely as glass bottle. Taste is very mild and easy to swallow.

I love it..

not recommended,

Good oil, good packaging (dark glass bottle) , expiration date 18 months after the date of purchase. We use it to prepare Budwig breakfast. As we know flaxseed oil is sensitive to temperature, we keep it in the fridge. That is why we were a bit alarmed when we received the delivery package and the bottle was very hot. We live in a hot country (UAE) and probably the package spent a day in the back of a non-air-conditioned truck. We suggest the shipper use a packaging for hot climates to protect the product from heating, or asks that delivery be done in air-conditioned trucks.

I was concerned about shipping this product without refrigeration. (Though the fact that it was shipped to me in February helps!) However, it does not taste rancid at all. It was well protected in bubble wrap.

After reading Northshore’s review, I switched to Solgar for my 3,6,9 oil. I was buying Udo’s choice, which is excellent but very expensive. Erasmus Udo wrote the book on essential oils & says that flaxseed, properly processed, is an excellent choice for omega 3. I was buying fish oil and am happy to turn to a plant source. I fear our oceans will be drained of certain species of fish in my lifetime due to overharvesting. I tried Flora flaxseed oil but sent it back. It was leaking & tasted rancid. Not sure why it would be an Amazon choice. None of my Solgar bottles have been bad. You should choose a glass bottle & not plastic for this oil. Glass will not break down & leach particles into the oil. The product should be shipped refrigerated but none of mine has shipped with a cold pack. The less time shipping, the better. Be sure to keep the bottle in the refrigerator. Solgar oil is smooth & has very little taste. Solgar, please keep up your quality control & don’t switch to plastic bottles or alter your processing methods.

Very good product. Highly recommended!!!

I am very pleased with this purchase. It came packaged very well with plenty of bubble wrap and packing paper to prevent breakage to the glass jar. It tastes fresh and the expiry date is a year and a half from time of receipt. I will be a repeat customer for sure.

I loved only this brand solgar in glass cold pressed org and it had such a nice mild flavor unlike the ones in plastic which were horrific. I added it to my salads and many other dishes. But the new shipment I received in feb and march don’t taste like the previous flaxseed oil that I used to buy from solgar. I can see it is fres and has a good exp date but the tast is really uch. I needed to try all kinds of ways to hide that taste. It tastes like the other brands. Did they change the faxed or manufacturer or method of cold press? whatever it is, it is really bad. I miss the other mild pleasant taste. I would use a lot of it bec it tasted so good. Now I am wondering how I can force this down. It tastes sooo badJust very disappointed bec I loved the old mild taste. Why did they change it. I think I may need to find a different way to get omega 3. This was really hard to take. I still give it 4 stars bec it’s glass, cold pressed and org. But taste I would give 0 stars. It’s horrible now, very disappointed I hope they will change it back.please note this change happened in feb 2023. All the yrs before it was fabulous and I loved pouring it in everything. What happened!!!!!!!.

My mom has leg cramps at night that wake her up and is painful. She has tried so many ways to help her but none of them give her significant relief. I was traveling abroad recently and spoke to a pharmacist that also recommends natural remedies. I told her mom has tried drinking tonic for the quinine and currently drinks high PH water with electrolytes and that helps a little bit not enough. There have been many other attempts that include prescriptions and other natural ways but no luck.She said when I get back to the states find flaxseed oil that includes a high concentration of omega 3-6-9, take once a day at lunch time. Should notice a difference in 5 days.What a difference! Her leg cramps are totally gone as long as she takes it every day. This purchase was well worth every penny and more. There are a lot of other brands out there but the key was to have a high #3 in relation to the 6 and 9. I found this to have the best numbers. It worked and we are recommending it to others that have the same problem!
