My wife buys ground flax seed, she's into that sort of thing and has a scientific background.  I put it on my muesli in the morning from time to time and find it's most obvious effect if you put too much on is it softens movements a lot.   It's supposed to have a lot of Vitamin B12 and being ground it's released easier.

The mixed views on the forum in the past were because research suggested that flaxseed could make prostate cancer more aggressive. More recent research has concluded that this is not the case. However, if you are still taking lots of medication for different things, ask your local chemist to check that flaxseed isn't going to interact with any of them - for example, if you are taking meds for diabetes, high blood pressure or any kind of coated tablets.
