Becareful, Flax will have you sh*tting like crazy - a least it did me when I first started taking it. I take one serving 3x a day, so whatever it says on the back of the bottle - either 1tblespn or 1teaspn. I think 1 teaspn is 1 serving. Fish oil is actually better. That's what I take now. Love the stuff. I take 6g's a day.
