    How much flax does everyone take?

    I currently take 1 tablespoon in the evening before bed. Is this enough? I consume a cup of almonds in the day too for "other" healthy fats.
    Thnaks everyone.

    1 Tbls should meet your daily Omega-3 requirements. As Iron said just make sure you try and replace all fats with good fats and reduce the amount of sat fats.
