    dosage depends on your diet and what your goals are... while cutting i take in more than when bulking because carbs are a priority then... how much are you taking now? and taking them together isn't a problem. i bring fishoil pills to class with me instead of my flax bottle sometimes... both are good and can be taken together...

    honestly i take like one pill of fish oils and one pill of flax seed, the flax seed is 1000mg. how much are you taking, i'm still in a bulking phase dieting will begin in a few weeks.

    FWIW, I take both. I throw a tablespoon of flax oil in my morning shake, and I take 1 fish oil capsule. (Makes for interesting burps.)

    I take the capsules that have both in them. They have the Omega 3 6 and 9 fatty acids. Its much easier to take than messing with the oil. I also read that flax seed oil is no good if it gets above a certain temp and is not refrigerated. It is also destroyed by light which is why most flax seed supp. come in capsule form. I don't know if this is true or not............just what I read on a flax seed oil info site. I do know the pills work. I started taking them 2 months ago when I started a cutting phase. I did the same cutting routine last spring/summer with no Omega fatty acids, and I'm at twice the progress now than I was before. You definitely need this stuff to burn the fat off quicker.

    so whats the problem with keeping the flax in the fridge?? thats what your supposed to do. who wants to swallow 5-10 more pills a day? Mixes great with ON protein. and tastes great. bump for the liquid flax here.

    to answer the original question i use 4 tbsp of flax a day which amounts to 44grams of fat. if i know im having a piece of fish or im feeling a nut craving i cut the flax back.
