Flaxseed oil.. gelcaps or cold liquid ?

thegqman Posts: 68 Joined: 2003/05/08	2003/05/29, 03:01 PM I tried the flax seed oil refrigerated. I can only say I will not have it again.. Any suggestions on how to get this oil down? Can I use the flaxseed oil gelcaps? Will get the same results? Your thoughts? Thanks

I hate any oil and tend to stay away from any oil, but I know that I have to have it. I even added them to a new muffin recipe I just came up with. Like have little nuts in them, very good. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

Pre training. Tastes great, nutty, and wonderful workout energy with the complex carbs, simple carbs, fats, and needed aminos from the protein. I found this recipe on the internet, and it is great!

BB, just curious about the flax; I take 15 grams fish oil every day which equals out to a little over three grams omega 3s - does fish oil provide the same or close to the same benefits as flax?

I add the oil to shakes - makes them creamier, and I sue it as salad dressing with some fresh garlic and salt/pepper. I think it has a mild, nutty flavor. Try Udo's choice - it is a blend of oils that has the 'perfect' blend of omega 3, 6 etc. It is good in shakes and on salad, also. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

The good brands will be delivered in a refrigerated truck and taken straight to the fridge at the store.
