flax oil just as good?

[kibskix]

I bought some flax seed oil in caplets. Is this going to do the same thing as regular old flax seeds? I dont have the bottle on me at the moment but its like 3 different omega fatty acids and you're supposed to take one 2-3 times a day (didnt notice that when I bought them, I thought it was a once a day thing to take w/ my vitamin)
Anyone know?

Flax seed oil is fine, if you are using it for the omega-3 benefits. If you want a laxative effect, you need to use the flax seed.
