what benifits have you seen?

im not sure i buy that it will help me lose weight, but might help me feel better (i feel great already), or have another benifit i may be unaware of (perhaps something to make my chrons even more in control)

thanks guys/gals ...

Is there a reason you can't take fish oil? The conversion of flax oil (ALA) to what your body needs(DHA) is not great.

Personally, I would stay away. It's a very fragile oil (prone to rancidity and oxidation) so I would NEVER cook with it. The omega-3 is ALA, which your body can barely convert to the "active" forms (EPA and DHA). I just don't see any reason to ingest it, but maybe I'm missing something.

I just bought a bottle which I plan to use only for pan seasoning

It's useless if not damaging. Avoid.

perhaps i will move to fish oil instead .. can anyone recomend what to look for?

I can't take fish oil due to an allergy and try to take flax oil capsules regularly, but I don't see any great benefit, so then I stop taking it for a while, pick it up again, and so the cycle continues. I also can't eat fish and seafood due to said allergy, but I figure if I stay away from junk and rein in my nut intake, what's the worst that could happen?

How do you keep the fish oil pills down? Every time I take one I burp up the rancid taste all day long. Yuck I hate those things

Apparently, krill oil is better for not producing the 'fishy belching' affect.
