Flaxseed oil is a plant-based supplement used to top up essential fatty acids, including omega 3 in the form of ALA. On this page you can compare cold-pressed flaxseed oil capsules and, if you prefer a broader routine, value packs that combine fish oil with lutein and zeaxanthin for everyday vision support.

How to choose

• Format: decide between flaxseed oil capsules for a simple daily option, or a value pack that combines fish oil with a lutein-focused vision formula.
• Per-capsule strength: check the amount of flaxseed oil per capsule (for example, 1000mg).
• Processing: look for cold-pressed flaxseed oil if you want a minimally processed option.
• Label details: if you are choosing flaxseed oil for omega 3, confirm it includes omega 3 in the form of ALA and also lists omega 6.
• Extra vision nutrients: if you want a combined approach, look for lutein and zeaxanthin, plus zinc and vitamins A, C, D3 and E in the vision formulas.
