What the Label Data Shows

Flax Seed Oil 1000 mg Essential Fatty Acids is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a fat/fatty acid supplement built from 10 ingredients from The Vitamin Shoppe, sold in softgel capsule form. These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, other, fatty acid, fat, protein, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 10-ingredient formula, 10 of 10 carry no FDA reference-intake value, typical for a formula this size: larger blends tend to pull in botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds without an assigned Daily Value. Breadth like this isn't a red flag by itself.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2020-04-23. On-market products are currently being distributed in the United States, though the DSLD does not verify the accuracy of label claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
