Flax hull lignans benefits
Take organic flax seed hulls with lignans dietary health food and nutritional supplement.
Flax hulls lignans are also nutritious source of fibre containing both soluble and insoluble fibres and Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin.
Numerous studies suggest flax hull lignans health benefits may include the prevention of the development of breast, prostate, colon & other cancers.
Flax seed hulls (with lignans) are the natural ground flax hulls (organic shell only) of the flaxseed without any seed materials or oil.
Mounting scientific evidence shows how important it is to consume a lignan-rich diet.
Flax seed lignans have anti-tumor, anti-mittic, antioxidant and weak estrogenic activity.
The shell of the flaxseed is known and proven to contain very high levels of botanical lignans especially SDG.
Friendly bacteria convert the flaxseed hulls with lignans in to mammalian lignans so that the body can absorb better.
 Also Available fortified flax hull lignans plus 3-day old broccoli sprouts, lignan flax hulls contain high levels of botanical lignans (SDG) and Glucoraphanin.
Glucoraphanin is converted into sulforaphane by chewing of the broccoli sprouts. Sulforaphane is also a powerful antioxidant that as been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancers.
Flax hull lignans health benefits
The flax seed used to produce these flax hulls are organic grade flax seeds and a mechanical process is used to mill the flax seed so that there is no oil or seed material.
These flax hulls contain high levels of a botanical lignan (between 30-60 mg) called secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) which is a phytonutrient.
They are converted into mammalian lignans called enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone (EL) in the bowel by friendly bacteria before the body can absorb the lignans efficiently.
 This is one of the reasons why we recommend that the flax hulls are best used with live probiotic capsules.
At the same time the flax hulls are excellent nutritious dietary fibres delivering both soluble and insoluble fibres.
Flax hulls contain Cobalamin which is a form of Vitamin B12.
Flax hulls significantly boost the bodys immune system and help stop excessive free radical activity.
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!
- Provide the Recommended Daily Value (RDA) of Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin
- Provide excellent nutritious dietary fibre (both soluble and insoluble)
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
Flax hull lignans and 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.
An early 1980s study found cancer patients have lower levels of lignans than tumor-free controls.
Flax hull lignans and breast cancer
Flax hull lignans are potentially the richest source of phytoestrogens in the human diet and may be linked to a low incidence of breast and colon cancer.
Flax hull lignans help protect against and support treatment for breast cancer , an Australian study (Lancet, 1997) suggested.
substantial reduction in breast cancer risk among women with high intake of phytoestrogens, particularly lignans.
Consumption of foods high in lignans may help protect women from developing breast cancer.
Flax hull lignans and prostate cancer
 A diet supplemented with flax hull lignans may inhibit the growth and development of prostate cancer.
Use our home prostate test kit to monitor your PSA levels.
Protect against or support treatment to prostate cancer, a Swedish study found decreased PSA after just 6 months.
Men with prostrate issues may experience benefits as a study suggests favourable effect on prostate cancer biology - Study Denmark-Wahnefried (2001).
Flax hull lignans and menopause
Concentrated flax hull lignans are the best natural substitute for estrogens for both men and women.
ED and EL mimic estrogens in the body and are better than HRT for eliminating menopause symptoms such as Hot Flushes

Flax hull lignans and muscle damage
Reported by Physiotherapy Research in 1995, pre-treatment with a Lignan-enriched extract was protective against physical exercise-induced muscle damage.
