You can see that the blue label has "Lignan" above it.? It's not that oil with lignans in it is bad for you.? It's that you are going to be buying and grinding your own flax seed separately.? Besides, you have to measure the flax seed that you grind, and you can't measure it accurately at all when it is immersed in the oil, so why pay for it in the oil?? Just buy Barleans' red label oil, which contains no lignans.
