If 14 caps equals 1 tabelspoon you need at least 14 in one day, perferably you should take 28. You should just buy the flax oil and add 1 tabelspoon to each protein shake you drink. You will barely notice the oil in the shake. IP: Logged |

i'm not sure how many miligrams a tablespoon would hold. Do you know how many miligrams a tablespoon would be? 1 pill is 1gram of flax. Also is consuming the extra Omega's good or bad if in excess? IP: Logged |

I have heard that 1g is good, so I take one softgel a day.

one gelcap(1g of fat) a day will basiclly do nothing for you. Caps are more expensive compared to the oil. Typically you want 28g a day which is 2 tablespoons or 28 gel caps. I only use the gel caps if I'm on the road and obviosly don't have access to a fridge. IP: Logged |

The Flax oil already contains Omega 3 and Omega 6. You can not get it without them. Fish oil will also supply you with Omega 3 essental fatty acid. I personal prefer Flax oil over Fish oil. But I suggest that you at least take one of them. ------------------ IP: Logged |
