Default Flax Oil

Anyone take flax oil supplements? On another forum I belong to they were talking about how good it is for your skin and hair...my hair and scalp have been a little dry so I figured why not give it a try. There are many other health benefits that helped entice me I was reading an article and it mentioned about helping to regulate your tom...which I hope it helps with. If you take it, what have your experiences been overall?

I have just started taking the oil. I mix it with yogurt. I haven't been taking it long enough to see results.

I'd love to hear more experiences with Flax Seed. I bought some in capsule form today. I haven't taken any, but I've heard that it does wonders for hydrating skin, and that's a huge part of helping your skin shrink back after losing weight.

I've never taken the oil, but I bought some whole flaxseeds recently because they are used in a lot of recipes that I want to make, and I've read lots of good things about them. Now I just have to figure out how to grind them or how to use the whole ones...
