Flax Seed Oil......

jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2001/09/27, 05:08 PM Just a quick question for those who supplement with flax seed oil. I just bought a bottle because I'm concerned with the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in my diet. Since I don't eat fish very often at all I thought it would be a good idea. When I opened it, I noticed it was a much darker yellow than I expected. Kind of like a mixture between olive oil and motor oil. Is it supposed to be that color?

I was skeptical about trying it for the first time....but later found that it tastes alot better than I expected.... Hope this helps...

Of course I can buy creatine and Weight Gainers as well, but an "easy" thing like flax seed oil or simply cottage cheese I cannot find in France...... or low fat tofu.... or diet Sprite....

I had a friend from Germany visit me in Canada and he was so surprised and the wide variety of foods available.If there is something you really want let me know and maybe we can make some arrangement for me to send it to you. Take Care
