Flax Ligans - Benefits
Flax hulls nutritional supplements, mounting scientific evidence shows how important it is to consume a lignan-rich diet.
Take flax seed hulls with food as a nutritional supplement. We supply two types of concentrated flax seed hulls :-
Flax Hulls (Lignans) are natural organic shell only of the flaxseed without any seed materials or oil.
The shell of the flaxseed is known and proven to contain very high levels of botanical lignans especially SDG.
Friendly bacteria convert them into mammalian lignans so that the body can absorb better.
Flax seed hulls are powerful free radical scavengers and help stop excessive free radical activity which can deplete the body's immune system.
In this way, flax lignans help boost the immune system of the body.
Flax seed hull lignans are also nutritious fibres containing both soluble and insoluble fibres and Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin.
Benefits of using Fortified Flax Hulls include
- Flax hulls significantly boost the body's immune system
- ED and EL mimic estrogens in the body and are better than HRT for eliminating menopause symptoms such as ""Hot Flushes"
- Flax hulls are the best natural substitute for estrogens for both men and women
- Control and reduce excessive free radical activity in the body
- Provide the Recommended Daily Value (RDA) of Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin
- Provide excellent nutritious dietary fibre (both soluble and insoluble)
- Helps with hair loss
- Flax seed hull lignans support treatment of HIV and AIDS especially in reducing viral infections
- Flax hull lignans help protect against and support treatment for breast cancer
- Flax seed hulls protect against or support treatment to colon cancer
- Protect against or support treatment to bowel cancer
- Protect against or support treatment to prostate cancer
Flax seed lignans have anti-tumour, anti-mittic, antioxidant and weak estrogenic activity.
The FDA (USA) ""Flax seed lignans have anti-tumour, anti-mittic, antioxidant and weak estrogenic activity, are potentially the richest source of phytoestrogens in the human diet and may be linked to a low incidence of breast and colon cancer.
Concentrated flax hull lignans significant ability to prevent cancer is recognized by the National Cancer Institute.
In addition to having anti-cancer properties flax lignans also have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungus properties.
Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans - Research

Fortified Flax Hulls are essentially flax hulls (lignans) as described above fortified with 3-day old broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts have been studied by Prof. Dr. Paul Talalay of John Hopkins University (MD, USA) and found to contain high levels of glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin when chewed releases a powerful antioxidant called Sulforaphane
.Prof. Dr. Paul Talalay studied and found that Sulforaphane are highly effective in the treatment of cancers in rats. Other studies have found that 3-day broccoli sprouts contain the highest level of Glucoraphanin and the reason that they are chosen to fortify the flax hulls. These 3-day old broccoli sprouts are grown organically from specially chosen organic seeds. After harvesting, the sprouts are ""freeze-dried"" to preserve its properties.
The Mayo Clinic (USA)
Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds that lower circulating estrogens in your body. Flaxseed is particularly high in one phytoestrogen, lignans, which appears to decrease estrogens production and which may inhibit the growth of some breast cancers.""
The Mayo Clinic http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/breast-cancer prevention/WO0009
The American Cancer Society
One study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low-fat diet along with ground flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth rate of cancer cells, and increased the death rate of cancer cells.""

Flax Hull Lignans are more potent as an antioxidant than the darkest leafy green vegetable!
Kale is a vegetable that has one of the highest ORAC values (the measurement of antioxidant).
Kale's ORAC value is 1770, while concentrated Flax Hull Lignans have an ORAC value of 19,600! Prunes are the fruit with the highest ORAC value at 6,770, which still doesn't come close to Flax Hull Lignans!
The flax hulls are certified organic by U.S.A. Organics (Cert. # US-ND-P0012) & Global Organic Alliance, Inc. (Cert. # 4276) both of USA
The flax hulls are certified Kosher and Pareve by VAAD HA'IR of WINNIPEG, Inc. of Canada
