Hi

While I would not recommend flaxseed oil, in and of itself, it will not cause anyone to lose weight and/or body fat, without a concurrent negative energy balance.

When body fat goes to low, below the levels of essential fat,(which s about 10-12% for women), women can stop menstruating. Raising their body fat back up to the minimum levels usually restores this situation. How long it takes, depends on the individual and their lifestyle.

In Health
Jeff
