If you are using high lignan flax seed oil, that type of gunk at the bottom is supposed to be there....just shake it up well before you use it each time. Also, keep it refridgerated and use it within a few weeks. I throw mine out before 1 month, even if it isn't finished, because flax seed oil goes rancid so fast.
One word of caution about flax seed oil and fish oil: If you have any issues of the immune system, like herpes, HIV, chronic fatigue, shingles, etc do not use these oils. They are immunosuppressent. They help many other health conditions, but for a person with herpes, they will cause outbreaks. Go online to google, and you will find scientific studies to support this.
Anyway, I get my omega-3 from flax seed oil, and from soyfoods, like tofu and tempeh and soymilk. I also get some omega 3 from dark leafy green veggies like Kale and spinach, and also from walnuts and Larabars (containing walnuts).
