Flaxseed oil is primarily known for its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, but it contains very little to no docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While ALA can be converted to DHA in the body, the conversion rate is quite low, typically less than 5%. Therefore, if you're specifically looking for DHA, sources like fish oil or algae oil are more effective options.
There are many vitamins out there that contain DHA Omega 3 as well as certain fish or fishoil. You can also get it from flaxseed, English walnuts and canola oil!
The amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in eggs can vary depending on the diet of the hens. Generally, standard eggs contain about 30-50 mg of DHA per egg. However, eggs that are specifically enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, often from hens fed a diet high in flaxseed or fish oil, can contain up to 100-500 mg of DHA per egg.

Flaxseed has a certain type of omega-3 fat. Flaxseed, however, are not a good source of omega-3s for some people.
Omega 3 is a type of fatty acid that is in fish oil. EPA-DHA is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are in fish oil. The 1000mg part is telling you how much fish oil is in each capsule. See the Related Link.

I'm no doctor but from my 1 week experience, I would say it's possible. I went out and bought organic flaxseed to try with my daily cereal. I generally eat a bowl of cereal in the morning and have added about a tablespoon of seed. About 15 minutes later, i began to feel stomach pain. Then it got worse. it pretty much lasted the whole day. Not realizing that it was indeed the flaxseed that was causing the stomach pain, I thought I would eat another bowl of cereal with flaxseed after I got home from work. The pain had sorta died down a little. But yet again, as soon as I ate the bowl of cereal, a few minutes later the pain came back and it felt even worse than this morning. I would also add that I felt bloated all day but no nausea like I have read. In response to the first answer, I found this at ~ http://www.ehow.com/how_4841364_roast-flaxseeds.html"When you begin eating flaxseeds, start with small amounts. Flaxseeds are high in fiber and can cause bloating, cramping and even diarrhea to those not used to high fiber in their diet."So it may be that your digestive system simply wasn't used to having that much fiber and responded accordingly.Now in response to the original question, I've read the recommended daily serving of flaxseed is anywhere between one and three tablespoons. I do not know if you can overdose on flaxseed. **---------I'll add my two cents. I've recently been researching this. From what I have read it is possible, but unlikely that someone would overdose on flaxseed. There is concern with having over excessive fiber in your diet, do to the bloating, cramping, and diarrhea. Other than the basic symptoms I've seen no reason not to take a good healthy amount of flaxseed.
