HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Flaxseed is beneficial in different ways. It contains omega 3 fatty acids, fiber and anti oxidants.
The exact amount needed to be beneficial is not known but it is thought that dose may be between 1 to 2 tablespoons daily though some persons may use up to 4 tablespoons. You may want to consider increasing to 2 tablespoons at the moment.
I hope this helps
