[DaveNY]

I just started flax today, and I've heard 1-2 tbsp twice a day. Use the search function to find more info. Good luck.

I take a tablespoon everytime I have an MRP.

From what I have heard, don't take flax after your workout since it slows down your bodies processing of protein. This is what you want to happen when you goto bed however, since your body will have something to snack on over the course of the night.

I've not heard that. Ingestion of fat slows down protein synthesis w/in the body? Can you point me to the source of that information -- I'd be interested to read it.

rgosit - I take my flax with a shake because it's easier in my opinion and you're not downing the stuff neat. You can certainly take it by itself, but depending on what brand you buy, the taste can vary quite a bit. Take it however you wish: straight, in a shake, as a salad dressing, etc.
