It depends on why you are taking the flax.

The flax oil provides omega-3 and omega-6 oils, but no protein or fiber.

Ground Flax seeds provide some oil, fiber, protein and lignans.

I take 2 tbs of ground flax seeds in the AM and in the PM. The fiber helps keep me moving :) and I also get my omega's.

The pkg of ground flax seeds says that 4 tbs of flax seeds supply almost as much oil as 1 tbs of flax oil.

All things considered, I think the flax seeds provide more bang for the buck..
