toronto416 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm on day 7 and have been having a tablespoon of flaxseed everyday (I have been doing this for about a year now). Am I not supposed to?! Do I need to start over? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 11, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2013 You can have flaxseed, but you are unlikely to be gaining meaningful benefits from it. Flax is highly promoted as a great source of omega3s, but flax provides ALA, while our bodies use EPA and DHA. The conversion mechanism rarely works effectively, so the chances are you are not getting what you need from flax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
