  • flaxseed oil same as flax oil?

  • Flaxseed oil = cure for high blood pressure

  • You are beautiful i like you

  • thats was a great liquid fish oil you held up. I would tend to agree omega three from fish oil in its triglyceride form is the best way to obtain omega three. Men with prostate issues and anyone with macular degeneration should stay away from flax seed oil.

  • @AkinaInc waesome thanx for that gonna try flaxfit

  • Flaxseed oil is a great Omega 3 source, but consuming the actual flax seed is much better for you because it has that additional fiber and cancer fighting lignans that the flaxseed oil leaves out. And since you can't just eat the seeds they need to be grinded up which can be hard and annoying to work into your diet. But there is this chewable Flaxseed tablet now called FlaxFit that has all the benefits of the grinded flaxseed powder in a chewable tablet form. Check it out....flaxfit.com.

  • Speaking as a vegetarian, and not preaching, but sharing with similarly interested people...I would prefer flaxseed oil to fish oil. I've also heard that Omega 3 is found in krill and in seals (because they eat fish, presumably). Likewise, I would prefer to eat plant-based oil, if I must have Omega 3.

  • Flax seeds are some of the best things you can eat for your health. They affect hormonal levels in a good way like other phytoestrogen foods. You don't have to worry about that. Flax should be eaten by both men and women. They contain omega-3 fatty acids and lignans which are anti-cancer. They also contain lots of fiber. Make sure you buy organic flax seeds and grind them yourself with a coffee grinder. Buy the brown ones instead of the golden ones. They are cheaper and have the same nutrients.

  • Hi,

    Do you by any chance know if taking flax seeds as a male will affect my hormonal levels? I know it is something the lady expressed concern about in the video, but I don't know if it's pertinent to my situation.

    Help much appreciated.

  • How can you tell if fish oil is rancid?
