Take a look at the label on the bottle of your capsules.... they're probably 1000 mg/capsule. You'd need to take 10+ capsules/day to get the recommended amount of 10g/day. If you get the liquid flax oil in a bottle (keep it refrigerated!) you'll get 14g/tablespoon. It's delicious mixed in your salad, tuna fish or protein shakes, if you use those. Some folks even slug it straight! It really is one of the most important supplements you can take after your multi-vitamin!
