Flaxseed Oil: Pills or Oil?

[RegaLady]

hearing that vitamins don't really absorb through the bloodstream, do you all take flaxseed oil by oil or through pills?

 

[miami74]

I take 2 1000mg pills daily.

 

[nicki6]

The pills did nothing for me. A tablespoon daily of Spectrum brand really moisturizes my hair and face

NOT FOR ME!!! these things make your boobs grow bigger...mine are big enough as it is I dont need the drama

 

[Qualitee]

I said the pill because that oil doesnt taste good

 

[Cinda2503]

I use 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed in my smoothie for breakfast every morning. If I think about it I put some in my yogurt at lunch.

 

[Honi]

Organic flax oil...i put it in cottage cheese with fruit or honey. Makes it more tolerable.

 

[drasgrl]

Pills........

 

[naturalgurl]

WHat is flaxseed good for as far as hair? I take it with high lignan because it helps prevent breast cancer.

 

[sareca]

1-2 tablespoons/day = no need for lotions and healthy glowing skin.

 

[loolalooh]

Umm, I can't vote. Can ground flaxseed (crushed seeds) be an option? It's sold at GNC and that's what I take.

 

[malibu4590]

I prefer in it oil form because of the immediate effects. Sareca is correct about moisturized, glowing skin.

I've been grinding up flaxseeds and sprinkling that on things like cereal..I grind up enough for the week and store it in the freezer ...I have not noticed any beauty benefits, however the flaxseed fiber is great for regularity

For those that use the liquid oil....taking a few teaspoons by mouth really makes your skin & hair moisturized? IF so, that's amazing......

How soon did you notice these results?

I use the oil in my protein shake every damn morning and I take fish oil pills every day...and my hair is still short as ever.. To tell you the truth nothing seems to make my hair grow..Not even the great advice LHCF..I am trying...

Do you take biotin?

For me, it's much more fun to eat the oil. I make delicious salad dressings out of it, drizzle it on steamed veggies and even in my popcorn. I am loyal to one brand (Spectrum) because I find it to be the best-tasting.

It's also much more economical to buy the oil, just make sure you refrigerate it and make sure to check the expiration date. I only buy the capsules (I've never seen it come in pill form) if I'm traveling.

would you mind sharing some of your recipes? cuz I can't stand the taste of it but I would like to start taking it again

All I do is add my favorite herbs and spices to it, like garlic powder, parsley, cilantro, onion powder and sometimes add lemon or lime juice. Then, I drizzle it on my salad. I'll see if I can find another recipe (or link to it) I posted in the Cooking forum a whle back.

Mine are too (32DD), but I say the more the merrier

Oh, and I take the oil!

I also add full flax seeds to my food now!

WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME THIS SOONER??? What brand did you use? Was it a pill or liquid? ((Got my money in hand. Ready to buy it)) Did anyone else notice this by taking flaxseed oil?

 

[cocoberry10]

It is VERY hard to swallow, but I brace myself for that nutty, yucky oil

Good idea, I may have to try this!

OMG, I never knew that. I have been taking the pills for about a month, and let's just say- DH is VERY happy.

I've never heard this before. I know evening primrose oil may increase breast size because it does have some effect on hormone levels, but not flaxseed. I have been taking flax for years and have never experienced this, not to say it is not possible.
