Flax Oil vs Hemp?

[Jimmy]

OK so which is best? How much are you using? How do you work out how many calories are in thos capsules? Favorite Brands? And whats is doing for you?

[Jimmy]

go to **************.com - they're calling it "Flax with Attitude" - haven't seen it in caps though - and I bet it tastes like the crotch of my shorts.

I've tried both from the protein factory and the flax seed taste better. The hemp oil will turn your sh*t a almost glowing green color.

It'll give you the munchies too.....and make you feel mellow.....but it's gooooood sh*t!

I'm just joking......I don't condone taking rope in pill form!

Taking rope in pill form?

Also, why is it that not one single fitness forum on the net can have a thread about hemp oil without someone thinking, "Hey, it'll be CLEVER if I make a pot joke! Man, NOBODY will expect that!"

Look, hemp oil is good stuff. It compares well to flax, but it's less commonly sold (probably because health food stores are sick of everyone making the same stale pot jokes over and over, convinced that they're being witty). You can buy hemp oil inexpensively on Ebay.

Yep - there are people who can come up with original humour and then there are those that just trot out the oldies that aren't even goodies. Never mind there's alway someone choking the chicken.

Have you seen the Hemp in capsule? Some of the stuff I read seemed to suggest that it was better than falx - especially as people got older - as it broke down easier or some such thing as that.

What doses of Flax/Hemp do you take?

This article was written by Dr. Andrew Weil. In it, he discusses the benefits of Hemp Oil, Flax Oil, and the differences between them.

I have been using Hemp Oil for over 5 years now, and I have NEVER had that problem. I drink 2 tablespoons every morning.

What benefits have you seen.

[retro_roots]

Its very similar to flax, with a higher Omega 6 count and still having a good dose of Omega 3s.

If your diet is extremely high in Omega 3 then Hemp would be a good way to get a more appropreiate Omega 6 to 3 ratio. Otherwise stick with flax.
