Is anyone taking this and can you tell me if you take more than 1000mg per day?? I have some and I'm not sure if I should be taking more than that.

Thanks in advance!

Hi - I have been taking it for about 2 weeks. I take one before each meal (3 a day). I have noticed that my skin is much softer but I am taking it to help with my BM problem and it has not helped there.

Good Luck,
Kat

okay thanks, but are you taking 1000 mg. at each meal??? Some people say it stalls them. Has it stalled you at all?

Thanks again.

Yes, mine are 1000mg. I have been stalled for a while but just started moving a bit. Now they could be the reason I stalled I don't know.

I do take more than 1000mg a day and don't find it to be a problem - check out Udo Erasmus's site here for more information.

Can you get too much essential fat?

When you get more than 12-15% of total calories as n-3s, there is a fat "burn-off" based on increased metabolic rate. Other than exceeding liver capacity and getting nauseous, or not sleeping because of too much energy because you took it too close to bedtime, it doesn't appear so.

I was taking flaxseed oil twice a day- 500 AM and PM. I finally figured out that that was what caused my stall. I am slowly losing again in the week since I gave it up.

I've just finished a bottle of Flaxseed oil capsules and it hasn't stalled me at all. I'm on bottle 2 now. Been taking it for 2 months.

Good luck,

Lily

Thanks for all the info. I have only been taking 1 capsule 1000 mg per day for a week now. I think I will try to up it and if the scale stops moving maybe take less.

Thanks for the website addy I will go there now and read.
