Chula,
I take flax, but most days, I try to take it in the form of freshly ground flax seed (I have the organic, "keep in your fridge" kind). 2 TBL per day, ground, used in cereal, on salad, on veggies, etc. This way, it has the added benefit of giving you FIBER, which is REALLY helpful and good for you in so many ways.
I also take a certified mercury free FISH OIL supplement.
Between the two of these, I get fiber, a good amount of Omega 3s and "healthy" fats, and DHA (which is really important for me, as I'm pregnant).
Not only is it supposed to help with metabolism, but it's good for the heart, good for cognitive function, and some studies indicate that it's good for depression / mood disorders.
All I can say is that between the flax and the fish oil, my high risk ob was ecstatic that I was on it before being told to get on it - for both me and the baby.
hth,
