Quick question about Flax Seed Oil

[sparky_d2]

Hey fellas, does it matter if you take the liquid or the capsules, does one benefit more than the other? I know how everyone hates the taste of the liquid, so I'm leaning towards the capsules.

Look at the amount in cap vs. tblspn....you REALLY REALLY wont be able to swallow that many pills man. Also the oil found in the pills has most likely gone bad so I would just down the oil with a protein shake or somthing.

Plus the capsules are heat processed - doesn't heat break down flaxseed oil and turn it rancid?

 

[gymtime]

Flax will go rancid if not refridgerated, but not if it's heated up while fresh.

Stick with the liquid. It digests easier and is ultimately cheaper than the caps.

the liquid.... much better

but don't buy it through the Web
Go to your local store and check that it had been stored in a cool place

 

[sparky_d2]

Alright, thanx a lot fellas, appreciate it!!

It takes 12-14 caps to equal one tbs of flax oil and you need at least 1-3tbs per day of the oil. You do the math. And most people dont hate the taste of the oil and if they can't take it, they should consider golf instead of bodybuilding...

So I take it that the GNC liquid verison of Flax is bad then since it is stored in room tempature. It is gold card week anyway

 

[anthrax]

if it is stored at room temperature don't buy it

it could be rancid

There is a liquid one a GNC which is covered in foil as to not let the light hit the flax oil. Is that possiblly an okay one or no because of the room temp still
