The Possible Benefits of Flax Seed Powder, a dietary supplement

• Essential fats plays biologically essential roles in heart, vascular, vision, nerve, joint and brain function

Flax Seed Powder is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. It is one of nature’s richest sources of lignans and is a source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Flax Seed Powder has a delightfully nutty taste and is a safe, organic alternative to psyllium and other fiber supplements.

Flaxseeds are a rich source of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3, dietary fiber and lignans-potent phyto-hormones which offers significant protective and preventive health benefits.

Essential Fatty Acids

When we say a nutrient is essential, we mean it cannot be produced by the body, and must be obtained in the diet. This is the case with omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) – two essential fatty acids (EFAs) vital to human health and performance.

EPAs are required for normal brain development, cell membrane and hormone formation, metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides, and cellular energy production. They also serve as precursors to prostaglandins. Omega-3 is an especially imported EPA lacking in today’s diet. The high amount of omega-3 fatty acid content in flaxseed oil improves cardiovascular function by lowering dangerous LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as decreasing the viscosity of thick blood, and reducing the build-up of atherosclerotic plaque on artery walls. It has also been used to decrease arthritic pain by blocking inflammation. Flaxseed is an excellent immune modular and helps to fight immune diseases such as lupus.

Lignans

Another potent healing element found in the fibrous shell of the flaxseed is plant lignans. Lignans are phyto-hormone precursors that exhibit immunostimulatory and anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral effects.

In the intestines, lignans are structurally modified by bacteria into mammalian lignans – enterlactone and enterodiol. These natural estrogen-like compounds have a buffering effect on estrogen metabolism.

Extensive evidence from numerous research institutions has revealed the potent anti-cancer properties of these amazing natural plant chemicals. Lignans have been shown to help prevent colon and breast cancers in the initiation stage by normalizing hormone metabolism contributing to the disease. Lignans also have been studied for the anti-atherosclerosis and anti-diabetic effects. In animal models, lignans supplements reduced the risk of atherosclerosis by 73% and of diabetes by 87%.
