Fellas,
While I' d like to be able to formulate a well phrased question, it' s late so I' ll get to the point.
So what' s the deal with this? It is worth it?
Note: I have an inherent distrust of the supplement industry. In my younger years (16-21) I must have purchased every supplement under the sun at least twice. Needless to say, I was broke, and not any bigger or faster than I would have been if I just would have squated and drank plenty of milk. Creatine and meal replacements are the only supplements worth **** IMO.
So with this in mind...is flax seed any good. FYI, I' m on a 40c40p20f diet. Olive oil for cooking and the ocasional piece of salmon are the only sources of fat in my diet.

Flax seed is a good source of EFAs, though, you are far better off, for a number of reasons, to supplement with high doses (20-30g daily) of a good fish oil.
BTW, it is good to be critical of the supplement industry. As an insider, and to you as a consumer, it is clear that many companies are less than forthright. Still, there are some worthwhile products out there, that a critical eye and demanding consumer can take advantage of.
That said, I think you would be interested in reading: Shadows of Promise: How to Detect Supplements Scams, by Dante E. Battista, in Issue Number 6 of Mind and Muscle.
Click on the link in my sig, and go to past issues, No. 6.

Glad you liked it.
Sorry, should have mentioned it was an edition of Thus Spoke Dante.
