The problem w/ the caps is that the dosage is too low. Think of it this way: a tbsp. of Flaxseed oil is about 14g of flax liquid which is 14,000mg, that means you would need about 14 caps to replace 1 tbsp. Thus, if you were to take 3-5 tbsp. a day, that would mean a daily intake anywhere between 42-70 caps.

Usually people take 3-5tbsp.

You can do one of the following:

or

2) buy flaxseed oil online: http://www.budwigflax.com/flaxligpromo.html

3) go to your local health food store
