    HAHHAAH Sorry bro my bad, I am obviously blind. Well 15mL is equal to 1tbsp. In that one tablespoon you get 14 grams of flax, therefore two tablespoons worth would be 28 of y our pills.

    Not a dumb question at all man. Flax oil is very rich ***** fatty acids. The good fats. It also has fat burning properties.

    Do a search man......

    Now you see why no one serious about fitness and concerned about finance buys caps. They're exclusively for rich women who can't tolerate (swallow, stand the taste of, and stomach) the liquid. Oh and some guys, but we won’t delve into that.

    This is very true indeed. I go for liquid EVERYTHING (I hope this cant be turned gay somehow), but I just think its better all around. I mean really all the pills are is a softgel with the same damn liquid inside...so whats the point of swallowing a pill which then needs to be broken down by your body?

    Plus for the very reason brough up in the math here you have to take SO many more. Like my branch chain amino acids. I bought pills ONCE, now I just have straigh powder, I take 6 teaspoons spread through the day (no biggie at all) I was havin to take 100 pills to get the same 30 grams per day (no joke) they were 300mg pills. Its ridiculous and more pricey.
