5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, October 7, 2009

This review is from: 100% Natural Organic Flax Pre-ground Cold Milled Golden Flax Seed - 40 Oz (Misc.)

I tried this product after a friend insisted I do so. I have tried a number of food supplements over the years, and this is the only one I actually noticed any difference with. This is an excellent product, and while I started taking it for a specific reason, I've found I just feel better in general using it. If I don't use it for even a few days I can tell.
It's important to note that this is cold milled whole flax seed, which includes the hulls. Milling cold is a process that does not create heat, which destroys some of the effectiveness of the product.
As a side note: I am highly susceptible to colds and flu. For most of my life, I've had 5-6 colds/flu a year, with one to two of them being pretty serious (out of work for a week). This is year in, year out. To my amazement, after I started using this product for a few months, I stopped catching colds. I would feel one coming on, perhaps get achy and start sniffling - but it never progresses into a cold, it just ends there. After having colds my entire life, I have not had one in the two years I've been using this product. To say I'm amazed by this development is an understatement. I obviously don't know if it would work this way for anyone else, but I'm thrilled. The lignans in the hulls of flaxseed are reputed to aid in the prevention of colds.
I think that 99% of food supplement claims are BS, frankly. There is always some new thing that will cure-all.
This product is the only one I would recommend to anyone, in the hope that it would work for them as well as it has for me.
Note that I have purchased this product from both Costco (who has it periodically, and direct from the manufacturer "Flax USA" ) for 1/3 the cost listed here.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thing you can do!, June 30, 2009

This review is from: 100% Natural Organic Flax Pre-ground Cold Milled Golden Flax Seed - 40 Oz (Misc.)

I just read in a nutrition magazine that one of the best things you can do to improve you health is introduce flax into your diet every day. I bought this exact product at a large wholesale membership chain (with the word cost in the name) and this was only 9.99! This has greatly improved my digestion--and it is delicious! I thought it would be hard to get down, but two scoops in orange juice is a treat! Great product.

I bought this product several times until I saw the exact same product (different manufacturer) at Costco for less than $10 -- exact same description!

I continued using the $32 jar, because the product I bought comes in a plastic bag. The last time I needed to fill my empty jar, I poured as much of the contents as I could into the jar. I had a lot left over -- 13.5 ounces. (I weighed it.) That's when I looked at the plastic bag and noticed that it held 40 ounces and guess what -- that's the same amount it says on this product's jar.

The scoop that comes with the product in the plastic bag holds the same amount as the scoop that comes with this product.

Based on using this product and the one from Costco, there is absolutely no difference between them. I'm just sorry I got RIPPED OFF several times -- paying $22 more than I should have paid. Heck, I can buy 3+ bags of what I am using for the price of this Rip- Off product.
