Flax Hull Lignans Are Essential For Both Men & Women

Flaxseeds have been around for centuries but its popularity with consumers has increased greatly over the past few years.  Flax is a healthy food containing a mix of beneficial nutrients. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids and contains fair amounts of both Soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Flax is also one of the richest sources of lignans. Lignans are phytoestrogens, or naturally occurring plant estrogens that can have a balancing effect on hormones. Lignans can also act as antioxidants. The main lignan in flaxseed is secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG). When flaxseed is eaten, SDG is converted by bacteria in the colon to mammalian lignans: enterolactone and enterodiol. This is important because the mammalian lignans are the forms of SDG that exert health effects in the body.

Lignans for Men’s Health

Lignans have many potential benefits for men, specifically in areas related to prostate health. A great deal of attention is being focused on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) because it is a growing public health problem. The American Urological Association estimates that BPH affects 50 percent of men aged 50 to 60 and up to 90 percent of men over the age of 80. These lignans convert to enterolactones in the intestine that are then absorbed into the bloodstream where they provide significant biological effects. Enterolactones have demonstrated anti-estrogen and anti-DHT effects that are of particular importance for the aging prostate gland

Lignans for Women's Health

Flaxseed and its primary lignan SDG have a variety of positive effects on estrogen metabolism and receptors. When transformed into mammalian lignans by the action of intestinal bacteria they become known as phytoestrogens. Most women who worry about the health of their breasts have a yearly mammogram and try to remember to a monthly breast exam. That's about all they can do since the traditional medical model offers nothing in the way of preemptive strategy.  On the other hand, the world of natural health offers tremendous evidence that there are many ways to prevent and cure breast cancer. One of the best ways is to make sure that your levels of lignans are high.

Human lignans are created when natural plant compounds locked into the cellular matrix of certain seeds, beans, legumes, fruits and vegetables are acted upon by bacteria in the digestive tract. These compounds resemble the shape and structure of estrogen and have some of estrogen's functionality. Due to their resemblance to estrogen, lignans are able to compete with estrogen for estrogen receptor sites on breast tissue. When lignans block these receptor sites they reduce the amount of estrogen that can be received in the breast tissue.

Studies have shown that women with the highest levels of lignans in their breasts have the highest levels of breast health. Secoisolariciresinol (SDG) is the natural lignan found in high levels in flaxseed. Studies have shown that when these lignans are present in high amounts in the blood and urine, women have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases including breast cancer and cardiovascular disease.
