Question on Flax dosage.

[Smokescreen]

How much of flax should I take with my protein shake before bed? Is it ok to take a powder version like the one protein factory sells? Of should I stick to oil?

 

[Smokescreen]

BTW, I like adding Flax to my nighttime protein shake. Makes it thick and I know that this will slow digestion down But is Flax a good idea to use during a cutting phase? And what a bulking phase?

Yes, flax and olive oil are good fats during a cutting phase...in moderation of course. I typically use 2 table spoons in a big no carb shake.

Night time use OK?

 

[JoBu]

sure thing...it'll help slow the digestion of your shake...besides, a tbsp or two isn't really that much fat anyway.

 

[Smokescreen]

yeah! I add it to my nighttime shake at just 1 teaspoon. I like the way it makes it thcker and adds a bit more flavor. Should i take a full tablespoon of it? What is it's main purpose besides slowing down digestion and fiber?

Where can you find flax seed oil at? My grocery store only carries it in pill/capsule form over with the rest of the vitamins.
