is anyone taking this? I was talking to a friend today who took a tablespoon of this with both of her pregnancies - she said it helps develop brain functions- now i'm curious about it !

Flax seed is high in Omega 3's- if you take a supplement, you should get the same benefit.

Hi I'm from the TTCAL board.  I was taking this stuff before my m/c for the Omega 3's.  After the loss my Dr. told me to switch to high quality fish oil (it needs to be properly filtered to avoid mercury and contaminants) instead because recent studies link flax seed oil to m/c.  I googled it myself and found it interesting.  I'm not saying these studies are fact or anything- just giving you a heads up.  Apparently thats just the oil supplements  not flax seeds themselves.
