Flax - How to take

[bigd]

I bought a big *** bag of flax lingans off the internet, Like 5lbs, looks like freaking cereal.

Does anyone have a good way for me to take it? Milk, straigh up, put in my peanut butter?

Thanks.

when I was on my wheat germ kick - I used to sprinkle it on top of salads and in sandwiches.

never had flax though - so I'm not sure if that would be appropriate.

You can put it in shakes too.

They say that crushed is best. I have flax oil, but want to get seeds. Where did you get it?

Use flax oil. It contains the same benefits. You can add it to drinks or food. Just don't heat it up.

The best way is to use a coffee grinder to grind the flax seeds adn then sprinkle on your food. Use about 1/4 cup daily, which should yield about 180mg of something called SDG which is contained within the hull of the seed. It is that which has the benefit for male pattern baldness, not the oil itself. Although some flax oil capsules have SDG content not all of them do.

Please read the above article on flax lignan's. It is important to note the SDG content of the flax you purchase as you need around 100mg a day.

Instead of dealing w/ the raw flax - what do you guys think about taking it in supplment form instead, like the product indicated below?

Good find. I may order from their next time since they are cheaper than my current brand.
