Need Flaxseed info

hope · 10-18-2005, 09:56 PM

Hi, I have been reading a lot of posts about the benefits of Flaxseed oil and I am ready to try some. However, I also read that Barleen's brand is one of the best. In going to their website, I saw that there are many kinds. Which one are you ladies on? And how much do you take? This info would be much appreciciated so I can start it. Thanks and God bless you.

Hello Hope,

Jarrow seems to be a good brand, but most are...look at the ingredients and a 1000 mg soft gel should have at least 180 mg, around 20% of Oliec acid (omega-9). store them in a dry and dark place, I keep ours in the freezer.
BTW: I also take flaxseed oil and the last time I looked, I was still male.
Cheers,
Al

Hi, I don't know about the other ladies but I tried the liquid and after a while I couldn't stand the taste so I switched to the capsules, 1000mg dose - 2x2 a day. My sister, who has nothing wrong with her, stopped taking it because her hair was growing to quick and she was forever at the hairdresser.

Love & Hugs Lyn

I use only Barleans flaxseed oil and I order it directly from the manufacture at wholesale. There is an 800 number on the bottle and if you tell them you are a cancer patient you can get it wholesale. I use between 4 and 6 tablespoons a day. I mix it with fruit, low fat cottage cheese, applesauce etc. I also use ground flaxseed but it needs to be in refrigerator and not on the shelf. Its best if you grind it yourself can be done in coffee grinder. Hope this helps. hugs, Sandy
