Flaxseed oil

Hi all,
I just started taking flaxseed oil pills yesterday. Does anyone else take them? If so, have you noticed any benefits? I am a vegetarian and figured that the omegas would be good for me. Do you think that it would be more beneficial for me to use the flaxseed oul in a salad instead of a pill?
Thanks!

Depends if you like the taste of flaxseed - it's quite nutty. If you don't mind it, use it like olive oil on your salad, although not more than a table spoon full. Otherwise capsule is fine. Get the best quality you can afford. Omega 3 is an Essential Fatty Acid - we need to get these from our diet, so you're doing the right thing by taking them.

so long as the oil is cold pressed and organic
can buy in bottle put some in salad, it doesnt have a long shelf life, and needs to kept in the fridge and use frequently fresh is best and know where it comes from
