i was wondering what you guys who take flax seed oil are using along with it for administration... i was just mixing it in with my shakes previously, but i recently switched protein powders and the new one doesnt mask the flax seed oil well, the flax seed oil actually makes the whole shake taste like doo, its a real funky taste...so i was trying to get some alternate ideas of administration, thanks

easiest for me is to take a shot of the flax and chase it down with a protein shake

GNC's Generic Flax didnt taste to bad IMO. I used to just take straight, or mix it with redwine vinegar and fresh garlic and use it on vegetables.

I don't like the flavor, because it smells like linseed oil, which is used in paints. I just take the soft gels, and space them out over the day, so I get a steady supply. It lowered my blood pressure, and I think it's better to take several caps over a day, than to take one big serving at once. The gel caps are great for me, and they don't give you nasty burps like the fish oil ones. The fish oil gel cap I take with a big meal, but the flax, I can take that any time of day & its fine.

I also have grounded flax seed meal, which I mix with scrambled eggs...it has kind of a spice, herb, or pepper flavor to it. It's not bad, but it's not for everyone. It kinda grows on you over time. It adds fiber to your diet too.

i would just take it straight and then eat something rather than trying to mask the flavor.
