:devil:dave
 
3000mg's a day is what I use. Helps you lose fat by providing "good" fats, omegas etc. , for your body to use rather than bad fats to be stored...I'll provide a link later for a better explanation...I just took my insulin so I'm a little loopy :p
 
only 3000mg AD? i thought u needed like 2-4 tbsp for optimum doasge..that in other words, 24,000-48000mg :D

i take it u take it in pills, why not more?
 
hi,

AnabolicDiabetic: that link would be cool, does it realy help, do u take it in the morning also do u need to have a low fat and carb...diet, im trying to lose weight badly...??

:devil:dave
 
3000mg works for me although taking more wouldn't hurt but I'd say 6-8000mg is tops. Take is in divided doses with your meals throughout the day and lower your overall fat intake which the flax will compensate for.
 
Here's just a quick cut and paste:

Product Notes:


Common Names
FLAXSEED OIL
Chemical Names
FLAXSEED OIL



Description
Organic Flax Seed Oil is an important source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an Omega 3 series of essential fatty acids.
Pharmacological Properties
ALA is the precursor to eicosapentaenoic acid and the Series 3 prostaglandins (PGE3), which are critical hormones regulating cellular activity.

The PGE 3 series prostaglandins, along with the PGE 1 series prostaglandins, protect the body against the deleterious effects of PGE2 series prostaglandins such as high blood pressure, sticky platelets, inflammation, water retention, and lowered immune function. The series 2 prostaglandins are made from arachidonic acid, which is derived from the Omega 6 family of fatty acids and from consumption of excess animal products.

Contraindications / Toxicity
None Known.

Suggested Use
250-1500 mg ALA/day; 1-3 capsules/day

Omega-3 fatty acid is important because it enables the body to make prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a group of hormone like substances that mediate a wide range of physiological functions, such as metabolism, smooth muscle activity, and nerve transmission. And as mentioned before, they are important because they are derived from unsaturated fat.

The dieter's dilemma is that the Omega-3 fatty acids are hard to come by from food alone. You see, most dietary fat that we consume is highly processed saturated fat. And this type of fat does not contain many Omega 3 fatty acids. If it did, the general American population would not be as overweight as it is! Instead, saturated fats contain trans fatty acids, which cause high cholesterol and do not have any beneficial effects on the metabolism.

In contrast, High Lignan Flax Oil, does not contain trans fatty acids and as mentioned before is the richest source of the Omega 3 fatty acids. The dietitians, doctors, and old-school bodybuilders who claim that all fat is bad and that all fat makes you fat are just plain wrong! Most Americans are deficient in the Omega-3 fatty acids because it is almost impossible to get them from diet alone without supplementation. And since the Prostaglandins that mediate metabolism and muscle activity are derived from Omega-3 fatty acid, it is crucial to have enough of it around for the body to burn fat.

This is not speculation, but researched fact. A diet higher in Omega-3 fatty acids of which High Lignan Flax Oil is the richest source, will have more lean muscle, lower bodyfat, and better health. In fact, the Omega-3's are so important, that they have been found to be all of the following:

Cholesterol reducing (the perfect fat to include on a Ketogenic or Atkins diet)


Anti-lipogenic (they block fat storage)


Anti-catabolic (they prevent muscle breakdown)


Increase lipolysis and beta oxidation (Fat burning -- even the brown fat cells in the love handles)


Improve insulin sensitivity (Keeping blood sugar levels down and metabolism high)


Increase thermogenesis (Slightly elevated body temperature promotes faster fat burning)
Adding flaxseed oil to your foods, or taken with a meal, creates a feeling of satiation (feeling of fullness and satisfaction following a meal). The essential fats in flaxseed oil cause the stomach to retain food for a longer period of time as compared to no-fat or low-fat foods. The addition of Flax Oil to food results in a gradual release of nutritients into the small intestine. The physiological effect is a slow, sustained rise in blood sugar, then a prolonged plateau of blood sugar. Ultimately, the blood sugar undergoes a slow and gradual drop.

You will experience a corresponding feeling of prolonged energy, stamina and satisfaction with no immediate hunger pangs following the meal. The net result is that you feel fuller, longer and, actually eat fewer calories in the long run than if you would have chosen a no-fat or low-fat diet.

We generally recommend that athletes take one tablespoon of High Lignan Flax Oil per 75lbs of bodyweight. Some Pro athletes take up to 10 tablespoons of High Lignan Flax Oil per day and still LOST bodyfat. Flax oil does not convert to bodyfat, not ever. And this fact alone, makes it the perfect supplement for a dieter, and the perfect food for a hardgainer needing a way to increase calories.

In addition, the lignans in Flax Seed Oil have been shown to have potent anti-estrogenic effects. This is of special interest to bodybuilders who are always looking to increase their testosterone to estrogen ratio. Here's one cheap, natural way to do it without putting yourself on the wrong side of the law!

A few points about High Lignan Flax Oil merit consideration.

High Lignan Flax Oil must be cold expeller pressed and unfiltered to be effective. (Heat will destroy its beneficial properties)
Forget about capsules, they are heat processed. (And it would take about 14 to equal one tablespoon of liquid oil)


Flax oil must be fresh. (It goes rancid very quickly and will not be edible, so put it in the refrigerator after opening)


Not all Flax Oil is high in lignans -- a High Lignan oil will be a rich, dark-brown color, inferior oil will be a pale yellow. (Lignans help increase testosterone levels and are anti-estrogenic)
There are very few High Lignan Flax Oils on the market that successfully meet all of these characteristics. One of the best is Mass Quantities High Lignan Flax Oil. This oil is outstanding because it is cold processed, expeller pressed, and produced in small batches to maintain peak freshness. It is also unfiltered, and is one of the darkest, most lignan rich oil on the market.

Mass Quantities High Lignan Flax Oil comes in a great big 32oz bottle. The bottle is an opaque plastic that keeps light from damaging the oil. Each bottle is a one month supply.
