Flax is one of the richest sources of Omega 3 which is essential for our general health, assisting the body in cellular growth and helping maintain a healthy heart.

It costs me £6.95 for a 260ml bottle but this lasts me for a month of regular use so not too high a price to pay for health.
I personally buy mine in the special diets section in Sainsbury's.

They recommend that you take one teaspoonful of the product twice a day, but I found I was not able to do this "neat", as it became like taking a nutty flavoured oily medicine that I didn't particularly enjoy.

The bottle contains 52 teaspoons - so I manage to eke it out so that I am just buying one bottle a month.
