Are flax seed oil tablets as good as the liquid form?

Answer by  fliptop (126)

Yes, bother flax seed oil tablets and liquid flax are excellent sources of omega fatty acids. Ground flax is beneficial as well, just don't eat UNGROUND flax seeds. Your body will not be able to process them and you won't get the nutrients.

If the tablets are made from ground flax seeds there should be no nutritional difference. However, usually tablets, by nature, must have fillers and ingredients necessary to hold them together in the shape of the tablet. This sometimes can interfere with the breakdown and absorption of the tablet. Best is either liquid or gel capsules.

Yes they are as good as the only difference is absorption time, and absorption time does not alter the efficacy of the supplement.

There is no discernable difference, except for ease of storage. When you buy flax seed oil in liquid form, you should store it in the refrigerator. The reason the liquid is sold in dark bottles is because it is highly oxidizing, which is why it needs to be stored in the frig. The tablets are easier to store.

Answer by  kungfukid (1241)

The liquid form would be digested and utilized in the body quicker. Normally anything in the form of a tablet has to have fillers and some type of gum to make it adhere to the tablet shape. Tablets can be slower to break up during digestion.
