Frequently Asked Questions

If I find it difficult to swallow 6 capsules, is it possible to empty the contents of the capsules into a glass of water?



Yes and no.

Fem-Flax (flax hull legnans) are not water soluble and will not “mix” into water or any other beverage.

While it may be possible to empty the capsule contents into a glass of water (or other beverage), the product may stick to the side or bottom of the glass, thus increasing the risk that the full dose will not be consumed.

In addition to the encapsulated advantages already noted, encapsulation increases the chance that more of the product will get to the small intestine, where it will do the most good.

What happens if I miss a dose?

If an individual has been on a daily regimen of Fem-Flax® for several weeks and misses a day, “warm” flushes may begin to reappear as early as 6 to 8 hours after the missed dose.

Should you miss a dose, take a regular dose at your earliest convenience. The important thing is to stay on a daily regimen.

Fem-Flax is packed in the second largest capsule recommended for human consumption.  Those individuals who find that swallowing pills, gel caps, and capsules is difficult, may either elect to take all 6 capsules at once, or ‘spread them out’ over the course of the day. 

We’ve found that the important thing is that the entire dose (right for you) be taken every 24 hours.

Feedback tells us that many enjoy the convenience of the encapsulated form and that they take their supplements with a glass of water, each morning, or at about the same time every day.
