I've been taking Flaxseed Oil (Linseed Oil) 500mg capsules for about 2 months or more now with my sleep stack which is..

ZMA
Oatmeal
1000mg of Vit C
500mg Flaxseed Oil

It's great!

I know the basic benfits of Flaxseed oil but is it better to by the stuff in liquid form or to buy the actually bag of seeds?

Buy grounded seeds and add it to your meals or morning cereals if you want. If you can take the taste of oil then go with that.

The oil is a much more concentrated form of all that flaxseed goodness.

You would need to eat a mountain of flax seeds (You also have to grind them) to get the same benefits as a small serving of the oil.
However, the oil doesn't have the same fiber content as the seeds.

Solution, use both.

Compleks, I feel the need to put particular emphasis on the fact why one should buy grounded seeds or ground them before consumption.

If you consume whole seeds they'll just pass through your digestive system without being of use since the acids of your gut can't break them down. You'll be shitting seeds in other words. Chew or ground your seeds kids!

I couldn't find the oil in the shops so I guess I'll get it online.

Kelly deleted all his youtube videos and myspace a while ago. I miss seeing all his photos and videos.
