Should you eat flaxseed in your luteal phase?
Flaxseed is still a nutritious choice in your luteal phase. It shines most in the follicular phase (because lignans gently support estrogen balance as it rises), but progesterone rises then falls. Energy tapers, cravings and bloating can appear, and slower strength work plus magnesium-rich food help.
Verdict
Grind it so your body can actually absorb the omega-3 and fiber.
