Flax Seed oils

[ZacTargac]

Where is a good place to buy this?
How much should you take and how often in a day?

What does it promote?


I hear this can help bulking somewhat.

The cheapest place is to find a local health food store. You can usually save at least 33% compared to online purchases depending on size.

1-2 Tbsps is good a day, depending on your caloric intake and is actually more beneficial on a cutting diet than a bulking diet because of the limit of Omega 3's you get from your daily diet. But FS Oil is definitely good no matter what diet you are currently on.

what about capsules?

 

[Blu Steel]

go for the liquid, cheaper, and a better source i believe..

 

[KillahBee]

what about capsules?

liquid is much cheaper and the pills can be a pain in the ass if we are talking dosages. it takes approximately 12-14 pills to equal on tbsp of the liquid.

You should be able to. I get mine at the local grocery store (stop & shop) in the health food aisle by the vitamins. if not, try a local health food store or vitamin store. I recommend taking at least a tbsp per day - depends on your goals and current diet. I mix mine with my tuna or in a protein shake.

 

[ZacTargac]

SO mixing with the morning protein shake would b efine or just taking it whole?

Find a good health food store that sells the actual flaxseeds. A 85 cent bag lasts me 2 weeks and I take it 3x a day. You will have to buy a mini coffee grinder (20$) and grind them into a powder though, taking them whole will not be digested. Much cheaper then the liquid and a bit more nutritious

I always grind my own flax, I know it's fresh that way and I get the extra fiber--I also like the taste. I have about a half a cup a day total.

I believe it goes for 1.50$ a pound at Whole Foods Market here in LA.

 

[DaPit26]

fuck it i just go to walmart and buy it for 5$ The liquid is ten times better than the capsules. I take 3 teaspoons a day. morning (breakfast) mid-day and at night. It's an awesome source of omega 3 - fatty acids. It also may help lubricate your joints. I swear by flaxseed oil

Bros, is it possible to mask the taste of this shit? I have it in a protein shake right now, and I'm having a really hard time getting it down ...

 

[redguru]

has anyone seen the new peanut butter on the shelf next to the smuckers natural peanut butter that uses flaxseed and flaxseed oil instead of peanut oil?

just take a tblsp. of powder and knock it down with water just like a pill

I usually throw in a packet or 2 of Splenda. That typically does the trick, or at least softens the blow enough.

Is there any max on the amount you guys would suggest to take in a day? I mean its just an oil and know its not gonna do anything stupid, but I'm trying to stick my bulking diet together and want to add some more fat calories. I've been taking 1-2 tsp a day for years and just wanted some more feed back from people what they think of 5-6tsp or more a day.

3 tbls a day is a good dose

 

[Redshoteye]

As stated before, I recommend buying the flaxseeds and grinding them in a blender. Much more nutritious buying it in its natural form as the liquids and capsules are stripped of nearly all its nutritional value.
