Thank you for your questions Debbie. They are common questions.
We have guidelines and recommendations for how much flaxseed per day here.

For a healthy adult, we recommend starting with 1 Tablespoon/day and in 2-3 days increasing to 2 Tablespoons and continuing until you reach the goal of 2-4 Tablespoons (4 Tbs ~= 1/4 cup) of flaxseed per day.

This does not need to be eaten all at once, but it can be. That is entirely up to your preference. Sometimes I eat 4 Tablespoons right away in the morning. Other times I spread it out during 3-4 times during the day -with meals, snacks, etc. Other ideas of how to eat flax.

A lot of times I eat up to 6 Tablespoons/day, but that is me. I know my body can handle the extra fiber and I know I need the additional Omega 3.
Listen to your body.

If you need to eat less one day because you have been eating a ton of fiber, then cut back for a day.

How much is too much flax? That is another great question! You can read the answer to: What is too much flaxseed here.

What Our Visitors Say...

"Even at the full price the Cold Milled Flax is still cheaper than Metamucil or other fiber supplements that run about $12 for only 15 ounces! That's a great deal!"
-K.A.

"Ellie, Thanks for your email. Just a short testament: Have been trying for years to get my cholesterol numbers to be on the healthy side. Got your flax at the farmers market this past summer and took your advice on consuming it. Had a blood test 2 weeks ago and my Cholesterol number is at 181, down from 262. Healthy eating and exercise: definitely the way to go. Thanks again."
-- Peter W.

"I have several health problems: Type 2 Diabetes + Constipation being my top complaints. When I was introduced to Golden Flax seed, I was drinking fiber daily + lived on Senna. I no longer have to buy Senna or fiber."

"My hot flashes were so bad and I had up to 3 or 4 times in the night. My sleep was interrupted, not to mention the embarrassment of breaking out in a sweat and a red face during conversations.... Oh boy, I have not had a hot flash for about 3 weeks."

"The best thing that happened is that it has really helped stabilize my blood sugar. When blood sugar is stable without a lot of peaks + valleys, it's easier to lose weight + I'm game for that."
-- Thanks, Sherrie
