Flax Hull Lignans: Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans

Flax Hull Lignans Benefits

Take organic flax seed hulls with food as a nutritional supplement

Flax hull lignans are also nutritious fibres containing both soluble and insoluble fibres and Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin.

Numerous studies suggesting they may prevent the development of breast, prostate, colon & other cancers.

Flax Hulls (Lignans) are the natural 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 flax hull lignans in to mammalian lignans so that the body can absorb better.

Flax hull lignans health benefits

Flax hulls significantly boost the body's 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)

Flax hull lignans and cancer

Flax seeds are by far the richest source of cancer-fighting plant lignan.

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 brest 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 flaxseed may inhibit the growth and development of prostate cancer.

Protect against or support treatment to prostate cancer, a Swedish study found decreased PSA after just 6 months.

Denmark-Wahnefried (2001) "men with prostrate issues may experience benefits as a study suggests favorable effect on prostate cancer biology"

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 cholesterol

A study at U Saskatchewan shows "73% reduction of plaque build-up in the arteries, and also a reduction of total and LDL cholesterol"

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"

Another Study shows the positive effects on bone mineral density and to protect against calcium loss

Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans Research

Research - flax seed hulls, *(Obermeyer W, et al (US Food and Drug Administration, centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Div. Contaminants Chem., Natural Products Branch), Meeting Of The Federation Of American Societies For Experimental Biology On Experimental Biology March/April, 1993, Faseb J (Fed Am Soc Exp Biol), A863, 1993

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 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 Seed Hull Lignans Ingredients

Fortified Flax hulls, with 3-day old broccoli sprouts, contain high levels of botanical lignans (SDG) and Glucoraphanin.

Glucoraphanin is converted into Sulforaphane by chewing of the broccoli sprouts.

Sulforaphain is also a powerful antioxidant that has been shown in studies by Prof. Paul Talalay at Johns Hopkins University (MD, USA) and others to be effective in the treatment of cancers.

Each serving (5 gm) of flax hulls contain between 40 - 60 mg of SDG, highest botanical source.

Flax Seed Hulls Dosage

Recommended dosage - 2 x 10ml scoops a day.

The 3-day old broccoli sprouts appear as yellowish specks in the fortified flax hulls, need to be chewed to release sulforaphane from glucoraphanin contained within the sprouts.

Taking LB17 probiotic supplements. Fortified Flax Hulls in combination works to boost the immune system of the body.
