Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Flax in the a.m. is: a good way to start the day. Flax seed can go rancid and it is best to grind it freshly each day. I prefer high quality marine fish oil because the fish do the work of converting int EPA and DHA omega 3. With flax our body needs to do that and some folks can do that better than others. Peace and good health.
