LIGNAN EXTRACT

Flax: History & HealthThe first recorded uses of flax come fromSouthern Mesopotamia, where it was grownas far back as 5,000 B.C. Flax is among themost abundant sources of alpha-linolenicacid (ALA) found in any natural substance.Linolenic acid, along with linoleic acid, isconsidered a dietary essential fatty acid. Thismeans that the body is incapable of synthe-sizing it, so it must be acquired from an out-side source. Highly regarded for their abilityto help protect against coronary heart dis-ease, these omega fatty acids are required forthe structure of the cell membranes. Andbecause they’re unsaturated, they contributeto cell membrane fluidity.

The Plant Hormone & YouLignan is a type of plant hormone, calledphytoestrogen, similar to that of the humanhormone estrogen. It can be found in unre-fined grains, legumes, and certain vegetables,but flax is a particularly rich source of lignan.Because it is a hormone, lignan can influencesex hormone production, metabolism and biological activity. It has numerous biological properties ranging from antioxi-dant to immune supporting properties.Epidemiological data associate a high intakeof lignan with positive effects on the growthand regulation of various cells and tissues,including breast, endometrium, prostate,and colon cells.

Lignan & Cholesterol WellnessSource Naturals has developed LIGNANEXTRACT with your wellness in mind, tohelp support your healthy cardiovascular sys-tem. Since phytoestrogen is similar in struc-ture and function to the estrogen hormonein humans, lignan may have the same posi-

tive effect in helping promote normal cho-lesterol levels by lowering lipoprotein. It alsoregulates LDL receptors, which may helplower LDL cholesterol levels in the blood.Because of their phenolic structure, lignanhas powerful antioxidant properties, reduc-ing lipid peroxidation and increasing theantioxidant reserve.
