  • Why does cold pressed flaxseed oil have more -tocopherol?
  • The higher amounts of ¦Ã-tocopherol in the cold pressed flaxseed oil compared with the amounts of ¦Á-tocopherol could be due to the higher oxidative stability of ¦Ã-tocopherol in oil, as described elsewhere ( Bozan & Temelli, 2008; Player, Kim, Lee, & Min, 2006 ).
  • Does flaxseed oil lower blood pressure?
  • One study in 59 people compared the effects of flaxseed oil to those of safflower oil, a type of oil high in omega-6 fatty acids. In this study, supplementing with one tablespoon (15 ml) of flaxseed oil for 12 weeks led to significantly lower blood pressure levels than supplementing with safflower oil ( 13 ).
  • What is flaxseed oil used for?
  • In addition to being used in food, flaxseed oil can be applied to the skin to enhance skin health and increase skin moisture. Alternatively, some people use flaxseed oil as a hair mask to promote growth and shine.
  • How long does flaxseed oil last?
  • Flaxseed oil exhibits short shelf life even after cold pressing and is therefore often fortified with vitamin A and E ( Hasiewicz-Derkacz et al., 2015; ukaszewicz et al., 2004) or synthetic antioxidants ( Makahleh, Saad, & Bari, 2015 ).
