Flax Seed Oil Softgells

[Mindain]

Are Flaxseed oil softgels as effective as just flaxseed oil? or is it better to stick with the straight oil... I just hate the taste of the stuff.

yup just as effective, it's just the oil in a capsule

or is it better to stick with the straight oil... I just hate the taste of the stuff.
it's fine to stick w/ either but usually it will take about 13-14 caps to replace 1 tbsp. of flaxseed, which for most is not cost effective

Try regular flax seeds, ground up in your coffee grinder. It actually tastes good IMO. Great source of fiber, and super cheap too. One tbsp has 5 gms of fat so just double up on it.

I have gel caps as well... but it's a bitch trying to swallow 20 of them.

Whenever I need to consume my oil... I put the entire amount in my mouth and take a big drink of water to wash it down at the same time. You can't even taste the oil...

Give it a shot... it works for me and it has saved me from gaging.

why not put it in a protein shake? thats what i do with mine and i cant taste the flax at all.

 

[Mindain]

You can try to take it w/ something thzet has a strong taste like black coffee, mint, etc

or dilute it in large water quantites

I add it to my shakes as well and I can't taste it either. Hmmmm...have you tried making a salad dressing with it or you can toss it with pasta. I use an oil blend rather than just straight flax. I mix a tablespoon of udo's ultimate oil blend with about a tsp. of crushed garlic and some spices and use that with my salad or like I said toss it with some pasta. Add some chopped onions and voila!
