Flax Seed
Oil with Lignans
Flax Seed Oil w/Lignans
[Circulatory, Immune]. Several scientific studies
show that consumption of essential fatty acids (EFAs)
can benefit the heart. Flax Seed Oil is a rich
source of these EFAs. It also contains lignans—substances
known to stimulate immune activity—and linoleic
acid, another essential fatty acid. These two fatty
acids are termed "essential" because the body cannot
manufacture them. EFAs are precursors to
prostaglandins.
Until recently, experts believed the best sources of
EFAs were fish oils. While fish oils are a good
source, flax seed oil contains twice as much EFAs as
fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste.
Each capsule contains omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9
essential fatty acids plus lignans.
Take 1–2 softgels with a meal three times daily.

Flax Seed Oil with Lignans
A Best-Seller—Now with Lignans!
Combines the benefits of Omega-3 and Omega-6 EFAs with
lignans— phytoestrogens that provide powerful benefits.
These include an influence on the immune system and
helping to maintain hormone balance. The high
concentrations of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids are
important to the cardiovascular and other systems because
they support cell membranes. The average North American
diet lacks Omega-3 EFAs. Flax Seed Oil with Lignans
provides the ideal ratio of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9
EFAs.
• Aids in the formation and maintenance of healthy cell
membranes.

bloodstream.
• Maintains already-normal stickiness of blood platelets.
• Plays a vital role in the production of beneficial
prostaglandins.

What about Lignan rich flax seed oil?
Emerging scientific evidence has begun to focus on another
healing element found in the fibrous shell hull of the
flaxseed. Special phytochemical constituents have been
isolated in flax, that once ingested are converted to
potent cancer fighting and preventative compounds called
mammalian lignans. Extensive evidence from numerous
research institutes has revealed the potent anti-cancer
properties exhibited by these amazing natural plant
chemicals. Lignans have been shown to prevent the cause of
colon and breast cancers where they start, by normalizing
hormone metabolism responsible for the disease. Lignans
are phytonutrients (plant compounds) found in high-fiber
foods such as grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables.
Flaxseeds are the most abundant source of plant lignans,
containing over 100 times more than other common plant
sources. Some studies indicate lignans have
anti-carcinogenic effects and may protect against cancer.
Several clinical research centers, including the National
Cancer Institute, are currently studying the preventive
and nutritional benefits of flaxseed lignans on humans.
A couple of points about High Lignan Flax Oil
:
Not all Flax Oil is high in lignans
-- a High Lignan oil will be a rich, dark-brown color,
inferior oil will be a pale yellow. There are very few
High Lignan Flax Oils on the market that successfully
meet all of these characteristics.
High Lignan Flax Oil must be cold
expeller pressed and unfiltered to be effective. (Heat
will destroy its beneficial properties)
