I might suggest buying a high quality flaxseed oil with lignans (the fiber part) included. If you get this make sure you stir the bottle before each dose because it settles. I take 1tbsp per day (1000 mg). I get one that includes evening primrose and boarage oils (omega 3, 6, 9 - good for weight loss and balancing hormones). I prefer this because I can't rely on myself to make it a habit otherwise. I do love making flaxmeal for brekkie, though. Just not every day.
