How are Flax Oil and Saw palmetto used? I assume that you can get them at a health food store but what is the dosing?

Thanks!

I recently started taking evening primrose oil, and am planning to start flax oil. For those, I've read 500 (forget what unit it is, grams I think) twice a day for evening primrose oil, and either one tablespoon of flax seed oil or two tablespoons of ground flax seeds. But the flax seed also has some effects as a laxative, so it's recommended that you don't take it at the same time as any other meds - take it like an hour before or after at least. Don't know about saw palmetto, but there's lots of info on the sites here - try doing a search for it, and theres someone who has links to good info on it in her sig. Good luck!
