In order to get the health benefits of flax seed oil you should consume at least 2 tablespoons a day. More may have a laxative effect.

Normal dosage of flaxseed oil for an adult would be 1 to 2 tablespoons daily. If you are using just flaxseed, it is best if it is ground before eating. Normal dosage for an adult of ground flaxseed would be 2 to 4 tablespoons daily either at one time or split up throughout the day.
