Recently added flaxseed oil ( organic) in my foods, smoothies.

Thoughts on the benefits? does anyone else use it and what does it do for you?

    Omega 3 in any form is great and Flaxseed is especially good for men's health... I don't do the oil but I do use the fresh crushed seeds and add it to the flour I grind myself... I've dropped 117 and my Testosterone level has improved over the last six months and I'm sure that flax has had an impact on that...

    supposedly it is supposed to help you get more out of your protein along with other cardiovascular benefits. What you are really getting is the omega 3 fatty acid.

    I personally think that if you are going to use it, just use the ground flax - at least that way you are getting the dietary fiber as well.
