    I don't believe you could over-do flax consumption.

    That stuff tastes good to me.

    Then again, even if it tasted like sh*t, whatever it takes to get it done is the mind-set I have.

    Its the same thing, except in capsules which is easier to carry around and travel with.

    Usually people ingest a tablespoon or 2 of flax per serving.

    If you like swallowing 16-32 capsules each time and having it be far from cost effective as the oil is, go for it!

    There's also a flax seed powder...For my shakes I use flax seed oil and it I can taste the oil, but I'm having unflavored whey with water...If I had a flavored whey I don't think I'd notice. I did try the flax seed powder once and I could hardly notice a difference in taste...I stick to the oil over powder oil, though...

    i dont think flax oil has much of a taste.. it just smells like vitamin e to me.
