Flax recommendation?

**I Are Baboon** · 01-14-2002, 12:09 PM

Can anyone recommend a good flax seed oil?

**MtnBikerChk** · 01-14-2002, 12:46 PM

And are the capsules ok?

Chick · 01-14-2002, 01:17 PM

I'd also like to know since I have to take flax. Will the pills sufice? I hear the liquid is grotesque....

Tank316 · 01-14-2002, 05:01 PM

any type of flax, liquid/pill form are fine.as far as taste,well i use to blend mine in with my protien drink,but i'm not sure how good it absorb so i switched to pills.....

you need these types of fats in your system for healthy reasons,these are essential fatty acids.which are good for the heart and the maintence for healthier cells

Chick · 01-14-2002, 05:11 PM

I'm probably wrong but trying to remember I think I heard olive oil or flax oil helps break down and dissolve soluable body fat? Does that sound right?

**gopro** · 01-16-2002, 03:56 PM

Olive oil is a healthy fat, but does not really have any dynamic actions in the body.

-Flax is great in capsule or oil form...I prefer oil.
-Amongst its many benefits is to incease insulin sensitivity and help your body use more stored fat for energy.
-The best brand is Udo's Choice Oil Blend

Thank you I will be a copy cat on that.

That's what I wanted to hear - you and I are close enough, we must have the same stores!

(I just can't pay shipping on an $8 item)

HEH HEH!

Hey GP - how much should either baboon or I need in a day? ie: the capsule serving size vs the liquid is SEVERLY different!

**I Are Baboon** · 01-18-2002, 09:40 AM

Everyone says flax tastes real nasty, but it can't be any worse than Ny-Quil, right?

BigAL · 01-18-2002, 07:19 PM

Store the flax oil in the fridge as it has a short shelf life otherwise.
Re. how much to ingest? I you take to much it will clean out your intestines rapidly. A capsule per meal is what I usually take.

Chick · 01-19-2002, 04:31 AM

Thanks for the tip BigAL

I use and recommend the liquid so I don't know how much of the liquid equals what in the caps. In any case, I recommend about 1/2 tablespoon for each 50 lbs bodyweight, unless you are on a low carb diet, where I would go more like 1 tbs per 50 lbs.

We found flax seeds so we bought them. Haven't tried them yet, but they have the consistency of brown sugar!? Anyone tried them?
