Is it safe to take flax seed oil vitamins while pregnant and a diabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: Herbals like flax seed oil are not regulated by the fda and while some people take this for heart health, it may also provide a large dose of vitamin a to the point of toxicity. You are better offer eating food with flax seed and taking a good prenatal vitamin.
