Post We use

NatureMade Flaxoil... which I get at Costco.

When we all started the EFAS here I used the liquid oil and made it into
salad dressings and smoothies. You get much more that way ..higher doses.
Once we all responded to it, and plateaued, I switched to capsules. That is what we do now. (convenient). I keep them in the frig, as Flax oil does not have a long shelf life.

Some people do better with an evening primrose cap as well. This helps the flax get utilized better. We dropped this helper after 2 yrs on the oils. Once your own body chemisty perks up, I don't think you need it (some men do however, since they convert much less than women do).

I don't know much about Milk Thistle. Here is a good monograph on it, including interactions with drugs:

this link goes into a bit more detail:

There is a warning that milk thistle may reduce effectiveness of birth control pills.
