NEVER get the pure flaxseed oil! It tastes like crap.... why not just get the capsules or gelcaps, that's what I use.

How many capsules would two tablespoons equal?

It would be extremely costly to try to get the same amount.

[EDIT:] sorry, i didn't read the thread very well, that would mean 28*3 gelcaps a day for me [/EDIT]

you're taking 6 tablespoons a day?

3 shakes 2 tablespoons in each. Yup.

Ok so I mixed some with my protein shake... never again...

Why not? mine is perfect but i use a lot of protein powder and not so much milk. (whatever whey i feel like atm, usually the brands that mix easily) put it in the mixer and when i get it out it is thick and definently not oily.

It mixes in just fine. (you could always add flavor if you like, i sometimes use vanillin)

I done did it now, just bought 2 16 oz bottles of flaxseed oil from Vitamin Shoppe for about $19. To keep it fresh, should I put the extra bottle in the freezer or just leave it in the fridge? The bottle also recommends taking 1 tablespoon per 100lb of body weight, so I guess I'll be taking 2 tablespoons a day. Can't wait to see how it tastes, since some of you are crying over the horribleness of it.

To me it tastes like thick tea :|

VitaminShoppe.com also sells "Udo's Choice Oil Blend", which may be a better alternative to pure flax seed oil. This oil blend is designed to have all the omega 3, 6 & 9 oils, and in the "ideal ratios".
