The advantage of eating flax seed over flax oil is that flaxseed is a complete food providing you with the benefits of Omega3, 6 & 9 EFA's, fiber, protein, plant lignans, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Flax oil, expelled from the flax seed, contains the EFA's but not the fiber, protein and plant lignans (an anti-cancer agent). Flaxseed contains approximately 40% oil.  more

Are flax seed better than flax oil?
Flaxseed are a complete food that will provide essential fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial fiber, lignans, minerals and vitamins. Flaxseed oil will provide fatty acids only. Eating oil in pure form in higher amount can cause digestive disorders. When you eat seeds, the oil is released slowly from the seeds during digestion and does not upset the digestive system. When you eat the seeds, you get all of the benefits of the oil plus soluble fiber. Study after study shows that a high fiber diet is associated with healthier outcomes. Fiber improves digestion, controls blood sugar levels and suppresses appetite.
