Flax Oil

[sublime35]

Whats up everyone. I've been trying to add more fat into my diet lately, and I've been supplementing with 1tbls. of Olive Oil a day but i want to get more omega 3's in my diet. I'm going to get some flax oil, not the capsules, and I was wondering if there are anything's I can look for on the label to help me pick a good one. I know that cold pressed is best. The stuff I'm thinking of getting is Vitamin World's brand. it has 2.72g Alpha-Linolenic Acid, 698mg Linolic, and 814 Oleic, per 1tsp. I was going to get the Health From the Sun liquid from DPS but this stuff is about the same price without shipping from DPS. Sorry if this is an obvious answer i just don't konw but about oils.

why dont you get the actual seeds and just grind them so that you get the lignans, fibre, and stuff?

if it's the oil then make sure you get one in a dark coloured tub/container thing and keep it in the fridge once you get it..

not too sure about the actual numbers on the labels...is there much of a difference from product to product?

Most flax oil will suffice. The most "popular" brands are Udo's, Barlean's and HFS. I personally take in about 1-2 tbsp daily and 10g fish oil (4g EPA/DHA).

I take 1-2 tablespoons a day usually if I am in need of more calories and my fat calories are somewhat low.
