Should you eat flaxseed in your ovulatory phase?

Flaxseed is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the follicular phase (because lignans gently support estrogen balance as it rises), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

Grind it so your body can actually absorb the omega-3 and fiber.
