Flax Seed Extract:Appearance:Light yellow powder
Specification:flax lignans (SDG)(20-70%)
Test Method:HPLC
Indications and Usage:
Flax is an annual plant that thrives in deep moist soils rich in sand, silt, and clay. The small, oval-shaped seeds of the flax plant contain oil (sometimes called linseed oil).
In addition to the important omega-3 fatty acid ALA, flaxseed (not the oil) also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may protect the body from cancer. Lignans are plant compounds that mimic the action of the natural hormone estrogen. For this reason, lignans are considered phyto (plant) estrogens. Because of their estrogen-like activity, scientists aren't sure whether flaxseed would be harmful or helpful for breast cancer. Several laboratory studies support the use of flaxseed oil in preventing cancer development.
