Im done gagging down a table spoon of flaxseed oil, I just bought softgel tabs. they are 10 cal, and 1g of fat. Organic flaxseed oil GMO free. How many a day should I take? The suggested use is 1-3 tabs per day.
Thanks
You would have to take in c. 10-14. 14caps would roughly equal 1Tbs. If you dislike the taste that much, try some of these suggestions:
-
Add it to a protein shake. This can be quite effective at masking the taste.
-
Try to buy the freshest oil possible, refrigerate it, and keep it away from light. Even slightly rancid FSO tastes like liquid butt.
-
Check into getting either ground flaxseeds, or better yet, but the whole seeds and grind them yourself (a coffee grinder works very well)
-With the ground seeds not only do you get a better taste, but you also get a good dose of fiber and protein in addition to the EFA?s.

I personally use the following:
3 times per day:
2 caps flaxseed oil (2g of fat)
2 caps of fish oil (2g of fat)
3 caps of CLA (3g of fat)
So that comes up to 21g of good fats per day.
14 caps yikes, back to the tbsp of oil… Ill keep the tabs for when I travel. thanks!
