Do flaxseed oil supplements (gel capsules) help lower blood pressure just as effectively as ground flaxseed? i ask because ive heard eating fish is good for heart health but taking fish oil capsules do almost nothing for heart health. thanks?

Although the FDA doesn't officially investigate it sufficiently, flaxseed is felt to lower BP mildly but dosage recommendations vary. I'm a fan of purified omega 3 fish oil as I know it lowers high triglyceride levels and raises HDL ( good cholesterol). Excessive amounts.may predispose to development of atrial fibrillation in certain people however.
