flax makes me blow chunks

[hogiejoe]

i there any way to mask the taste of flax oil. i puked after taking it one time and now i cant even stand the taste of just a little of it in my shakes. i really dont want to use the capsules but i guess i will if i have to. does anyone got any suggestions?

I don't think flax oil should taste so pukish. I think its gone bad already. Flax oil should be refrigerated and even then it oxidises quickly. Stick to ground flax seed which keeps longer.

Try to buy flax/fish oil which is nitrogen flushed otherwise you could possibly be buying rancid oil in the first place. I prefer fish oil or capsules.

I just got some gelcaps from Sam's, 200ct for around $7. 3 caps is about a tablespoon of flax oil. They seem to work fine. I cant take the oil straight, but it actually tastes good in shakes.

Or You could add ground flax seed to your shakes. It mixes well & adds fiber, not really any taste at all.

Whatever brand you're using, switch to Barlean's. I thought Flax Oil tasted bad until I started using Barlean's. Excellent nutty flavor and it is refridgerated from factory to store, and should be kept cold in whatever store you buy from.

well the problem is that i dont live in the states and i order from the internet. it could take up to 10 days to get to me without refrigeration or anything, so it probably is bad. so even if i bought the capsules they would go bad too, right? i guess i am **** out of luck when it comes to getting some flax. damn that sucks, unless someone can give me some advice given my situation.

Could always try Hemp Oil. I've read it doesn't go rancid as fast as Flax Oil does.

To quote Austin Powers: It's a bit Nutty!

Yep that really makes it sound delicious.
