You should get the oil instead if pills. I use 3 tbsn spread out daily. Put it in my shakes or mix it in a tuna sandwich. There are 14g of fat per tbsn so thats 42g of fat from flax a day. I don't know how much the gel caps have so maybe you can guage it from there. I don't think there is much in them so chances are you are going to be swollowing a ton of them a day. IP: Logged |

i'm just using creatine and glutamine right now, trying to pack on a little bit more size and somebody recommended the flax oil. I bought the liquid form today so i could take a Tbspoon instead of a few gelcaps. Does the flax help you gain some mass? And does it need to be refrigerated after opened? Because bottle says keep refrigerated but in the store it's not. IP: Logged |

The flax gives you extra "good-fat" calories which could help with building lean mass in addition to its many health benefits. Keep your oil in the frige. I buy in quantity and then keep the bottles in the freezer until I need them. Use 3 tablespoons/day. IP: Logged |
