If you’ve ever purchased a bottle of flaxseed oil you may have seen on the label something like “Lignan-Rich” or “With Lignans”
Lignans are found in a wide variety of plant-based foods, including seeds, whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables.
They are part of a larger group of nutritional compounds called POLYPHENOLS.
POLYPHENOLS themselves are very rich in antioxidants, and so they are very healthy and healing for our bodies.
Lignans are part of these antioxidants, and flaxseeds are one of the richest, natural, dietary sources.
Lignans have demonstrated some rather impressive health benefits. Perhaps the most significant health actions of are their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-cancer effects, particularly breast cancer.
When flax oil bottles say “High in Lignans” that may be the best choice of flax-oil for women going through menopause and women at risk for breast cancer. It is currently estimated that as many as one-in-eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Lignan-rich flax oil not only provides great nutritional benefits, it’s also the best from an economic perspective, about $25.00 a month, when taking one Tablespoon daily.
