How much should you take?
There is no set dose of flaxseed. In studies of people with high cholesterol, 15 to 50 grams of flaxseed per day has been used.
Flaxseed must be ground prior to ingestion or it won’t work for these conditions.
Ask your GP for advice. Flaxseed can be mixed with liquid or food, such as muffins or bread.
To be absorbed, however, it must me ground before using it to allow the oils to be available.
Some people use a small coffee grinder to grind daily doses as needed.
