Great list. We should really already know all of that but its refreshing to be reminded and reminded why. I am in favor of this list!
Wesley, is that you?
Nice post! You never seize to amaze.
Do you mean 900mg? I've read 1000mg, but 9000 would mean that I have to take 50 a day of my current softgels to get the EPA/DHA I need. Even the best ones, I'd have to take more than twenty times the recommended dosage.
Clarification, please?
nice thread...most of those dont taste that good, but hey, thats a given...
maybe not 'no good' but certainly not as good as the ground seeds, get
them instead, tastes better and cheap anyway.
Ok thanks, is there any specific brands you recommend? Also do you have to grind them up to better consume them?
Don't worry about brand, I'd be shocked if you had more than 2 choices anyway.
Your body doesn't process whole flax seeds very well, so yes, you need to get milled flax seed.
No, milled flax seeds are already finely ground, no sense grinding them more.
How much should you eat? Well, the Omega-3 in flax seeds is barely worth counting, so they're really not that useful except as a fiber supplement, in my opinion. Mine came with a scoop, probably about a tablespoon, I throw it in my yogurt at night, good for regularity, and I like regularity.
Note, if you eat too many, you will probably have some seriously bad bloating/cramps. So start small.
