A member asked:
Can you let me know how many grams of flax seed should i include in my diet every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No requirement: Adequate intake of omega – 3 fatty acids is around 1.1 to 1.6 grams/ day for an adult. If you elect to get it through flaxseed- 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed has about 1.6 grams of omega 3 fatty acids. There is not a set requirement for flax seed.
