They have distinct benefits in both their formspressed into oil and as ground flaxseed. Flaxseed Oil Featuring concentrated as of Alpha-Linolenic (ALA), flaxseed oil is nature s greatest vegetarian source of vegetarian Omega-3 ty s. ALA is called an esssential ty because it is vital to our and since our bodies cannot produce it on their own, it is essential that we receive it from dietary sources. ALA plays an important role in the of our hearts. Several studies have suggested that consumption of dietary ALA may reduce the risk of heart disease and promote overall heart . Ground Flaxseed Ground Flaxseed is a natural source of fiber (including mucilage), absorbing excess liquid, protecting the digestive tract and promoting bowel regularity. While the oil pressed from flaxseed is rich in Omega-3 ty s, the themselves are also a concentrated source of lignans - phytoestrogens that are not only suggested to be able to regulate hormone balance but which also have have antioxidant properties. Flaxseed History Flaxseed has been a coveted source of for millennia. Ancient Egyptians and Greek physicians like Hippocrates touted its ability to cure various ills. In the 8th century A.D., King Charlemagne thought flax so essential to that he wrote a series of laws requiring his subjects to consume a certain a each year.

Researchers have found flax to be the richest source of lignans, with a lignan content 100-times higher than its nearest competitor, oat bran. Once ingested, lignans have both an estrogen and anti-estrogen-like effect, similar to soy. Scientists believe the effects of lignans on estrogen sm, in addition to their antioxidant and fiber properties, may explain why populations eating diets rich in lignans have a lower incidence of cancer.
