OT: flax seed oil

[latazyo]

so Im taking flax seed oil for omega-3's to try and help my stomach

anyways, this stuff is disgusting, I didnt realize it was gonna be like cooking oil...so I triedmixing with apple juice and it just floats to the top so I smell it and then taste it

I got the oil instead of capsules because the word on the street is that the body can actually get more out of the oil than the capsules...so that it is more beneficial to take the same amount of oil as the same amount of capsules

has anyone taken this stuff before and can recommend a good/less revolting way to take it?

I might have to switch to capsules...this is hard to take

I took it for a while and just did it like a shot... with a chaser... thats the only way i could do it. I have also been told the capsules are not nearly as effective

Mix it with some vinegar and put it on a salad.

flax seed oil has many many benefits. I take mine in a fruit smoothie everyday. Can not taste it.

A recent study indicated flax seed has some drawbacks for men (prostate problems). Fish oil gives many of the same benefits...but still doesn't taste good.

Edit: ooops, thought this was a general forum, apologies for intruding on a local club

 

[latazyo]

you didnt intrude, the trials and tribulations of my intestines warrant advice from all


so far 1.5 hours after taking my first serving mixed with apple juice I still feel disgusting, the oily feel on my lips is still there....ick

SSGT: is a smoothie just OJ and various fruits...or is it yogurt or what?

I mix it in protein shakes. You have to use a shaker cup to get it really mixed well. To be honest, I don't even taste it when its in a shake.

What brand of protien powder do you use, I am looking to switch.

I buy the GNC 100% Whey Chocolate at Scott AFB. Tax free, usually 2 for 1, and its gold card day everyday. Between the wife and I we go through at least a 6 pound tub every 3 or 4 weeks. When I'm in training for a fight (like now) I drink 3 shakes a day.

 

[SSTG]

I too mix it in with protein powder(not with soy in it)along with kefer,blueberry's,strawberry's,banana's and raw honey to sweeten it.

I havent tried the oil, but have used the flax seeds, I just sprinkle them on a salad, or on oatmeal in the morning. I even make bread with them in it. You can even eat them like seeds or nuts... just dont eat too many at once or youll never leave the bathroom...LMAO!!!
