See if your local vitamin or online store carries 'Udo's Choice Oil.' I had heard about this product awhile ago but my vitamin store didn't have it until this weekend. I literally cannot hold flax oil or other efa blends down for more than a few minutes, but Udo's actually tastes pretty good. Definitely painless to get my efa's now, plus Udo is probably the leading experts on EFAs so his blend has to be of good quality. Just thought someone might like to know...     | ||

I agree Frackal. Udo's is definitly the best tasting oil and probably the best for you. It's not only a derivative of Flax seed, but sesame seed, Mct oil and other essential fatty acids. It also has a great ration of Omega 6's to 3's. I also recommend his book, "Fat's That Heal, Fat's that Kill." I learned a lot of how to stay healthier as well as getting bigger though it. | ||

I just take flax seed oil gel capsules....why don't you take those so you don't have to taste any oil if it gags you? | ||

Usually it's a cost issue: It is a lot cheaper to buy a 17oz bottle of Udos when I'm taking 3 or 4 tablespoons a day, rather than buying the capsules. Thought even Udo's can get to you after a while. I try hiding it in shakes, yogurt, etc. | ||

I agree that flax can taste nasty - but you also might want to make sure it isn't rancid. I had some that was making me nearly puke everytime I took it - then I went and got another bottle and it was waaaay batter (still gross, but not makin gme puke bad) - turns out the other stuff was rancid and apparently this happens a lot with that stuff. | ||

Actually Happy, you might be right. I never puked until that certain bottle, but it was new so I just figured I was getting sick of it. Oh well. Udo's is quite a bit better than flax anyway in all aspects. I throw some in my protein shake beside my bed to drink in the middle of the night. | ||

since you're talking about flax seed oil, I was wondering if anyone's tried the Fat Fast Diet? It consists of nothing but flax seed oil and protien powder. Supposedly, you can lose a lot of fat and keep muscle on it, but it sounds like a bitch. I read about it on www.testosterone.net and was just wondering if anyone actually did it. | ||

If you're gaggin on yrou flax then perhaps it's gone off, it has to be kept cold and will easilyt go off if taken in capsules or left out of the fridge. Personally i like the taste stick it in all my shakes, i find it keeps the shakes from taking in too much air while in the blender as well. ------------------ | ||

I'm not in my apt right now so I can't check to see what brand I had - but I had purchased it brand new from Bread and Circus (a health food chain around here) and the exp date was like 3 months away - that was the rancid stuff. Then got another one and the expiration date was a little over year away and that stuff was fine (still not great, but not as bad as the orig). I'm like addicted to it now, I don't like it, but have to have it in my shakes that I make at home. In one of the weights newsgroups, someone stated that flax oil let to higher estrogen levels and referred to some study, but then other people were against it... interesting. haven't noticed any probs yet... | ||
