DO NOT take your flax in your post workout shake!!! It should consist primarly of whey protein and dextrose, both fast absorbing. any fat added at this time will slow absorption, which you dont want. We want to ideally spike insulin to shuttle nutritents into the muscle cells immmediatly after working out to begin repair.

You can add it anywheres else in the day... but on a personal note, I prefer to keep carbs and fats seperate, so ideally just with protein would be best imo.

Hi Atherjen.

Thanks for that info. I had no idea. I have been taking it post workout with protein shake for awhile. I'm going to change that starting today. Thanks again for helping.

I definitely agree with Jen in not taking it post workout. You want to stick to just dextrose and protein following your workout.
I too take my flax with just protein as well. If you're only using one tablespoon right now, I would suggest taking in an addtional tablespoon at some point during the day.
