Colon Health & Colon Cancer Prevention

The health of your colon is vital to how your body functions. The colon is responsible for breaking down the food you eat and eliminating waste from your body. Your colon helps you avoid severe discomfort and prevents infections that can lead to more serious issues like an imbalance of electrolytes or irregular heartbeats. In short, a properly functioning colon is essential to living a healthy life.

When your colon is not functioning as it should, you are more at risk for developing colon-related conditions such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. An improperly functioning colon also increases your risk of developing colon cancer, which is the third most common type of cancer in the United States. A simple way to maintain colon health and reduce your risk of colon cancer is to add flax products like Original Flax Hull Lignans in oil, capsule, or powder form.

Flaxseed is high in fiber, which is vital in aiding a healthy digestive tract. Fiber helps digestion by absorbing impurities, improving bowel movements, and cleansing the colon. Further, fiber contributes to reducing the rate of colon cancer. Experts believe this is due to flaxseed’s mammalian lignan precursors, which have been shown to decrease early indications of colon cancer risk in the short-term. Research conducted by Wageningen University and the RIKILT Institute of Food Safety in the Netherlands supports this idea, having found a link between a diet high in lignans and a lower risk of cancer.

Lignans may help prevent or reduce the risk of other cancers, as well. Studies have shown significant promise of lignans aiding in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Flax lignans are also an excellent immune system booster and contributes to better general health.

Before starting the Flax Hull Lignans, I would have a bad cough and would throw up stuff that I think was from my sinuses draining during the night. I used to get bad headaches from sinus pressure also. Now I don’t cough as much in the morning and hardly ever seem to throw up. The sinus headaches are not as frequent now. I also seem to have a “better feeling” overall.

I have noticed a slight improvement in joint pain since I have been taking the Flax Hull Lignans. I have had arthritis for years. Also, I seem to be sleeping better at night. I take a sleeping aid at bed time yet I still have some trouble sleeping

Yes, I am delighted to be able to report the changes we have experienced by using the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. My husband and I are in our fifties, and are starting to show a little wear and tear from fifty years of living, so this is the time when we are looking everywhere for natural ways to prevent any serious problems before they strike. (We don’t resort to Western medicine because we feel it is often more life-threatening than the diseases)...
