I am taking daily 2 teaspoons of flax seeds (not oil) and not that I see a big difference but I know I doesn’t hurt ;) .

Does somebody else take flax seeds ?

I don't... but I know you're supposed to grind them right before using... otherwise, they only act as fibre - you don't get any of the EFA benefits.

Of course I grind them , if you don’t they just pas through your system.

I toss a handful into my morning smoothies--I have a fairly high powered blender that grinds 'em up fine!

i take flax seed oil in capsules ad i noticed a change in the darkness in the knuckles on my fingers. its reduced. i know efa helps tremedously in that area.

i wouldnt know if this had any other +ve benefit, becuase i started taking vits and suplements at the same time. and my hair texture has improved and hairloss reduced. so, everything heps :D

Hmmmm, when I started taking flax oil daily I immediately noticed a reduction in facial acne. I'd imagine taking ground flaxseed would give the same benefit plus the benefit of added fiber.

The fiber was the reason that I decided to take flax seeds just like that, it really makes a difference. :D :oops:
