Get the liquid. It has 4500 mg per teaspon full. It's got a bland taste, but it's alot less expensive. I get mine from wal-mart near the pharmacy. It's in a black bottle saying "Organic Flax Oil" on it. Think it's $6.50 or so. I take about 10 tablespoons, which is roughly about 20-25 teaspoons a day. IT's an EFA so it's good to take. Hope this helps you save some money.

How many mg are in a tablespoon? 14, I'm guessing?

10 tablespoons?!? Isn't that too much?

A good guideline for flax is 1tpsp for every 100lbs of bodyweight.

Not on a keto diet it isn't

i think 4500 mg are in a tablespoon or a teaspoon...if this is the case, then each tablespoon has about 13500 mg. But i doubt it
