Ovarian & Uterine Health

Flax has been around for centuries and is believed to have great health benefits. In recent years, scientific studies have begun to prove just how unparalleled these health benefits are. Many of these discoveries have shown promise for improving the health of women throughout their lifespan. Some of the most advanced research on the benefits of flax for women’s health is related to the ability of lignans (from the hull of the flaxseed) to balance hormones.

When left unchecked, unbalanced hormones significantly impact a woman’s ovarian and uterine health, and can cause debilitating symptoms such as PMS, cysts, chronic pain, and mood swings. Unbalanced hormones can also lead to infertility and cancer. Studies show that lignans can help both premenopausal and postmenopausal women live healthier, more comfortable lives.

Lignans are phytoestrogens, a naturally occurring compound in plants. When consumed, phytoestrogens mimic the body’s own estrogen and can be used as a natural hormone replacement therapy. Through the regular consumption of flax hull lignans, women with low estrogen will experience a boost in their estrogen levels. Women with high levels of estrogen can also benefit from consuming flax hull lignans. Lignans compete with excess estrogen, which is then flushed from the body to restore normal estrogen levels.

Though most lignans research has focused on breast health and breast cancer, studies related to ovarian and uterine health have shown great promise. For example, BMC Women’s Health conducted a population-based control study and concluded phytoestrogens like those found in organic flax might decrease a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer. While more research will be beneficial, there is overwhelming support that non-GMO flax hull lignans are beneficial to women’s health.

Benefits of lignans for women’s health include:

  • Improved general health and natural immune system booster

  • Menopause relief

  • Reduced risk from conventional hormone replacement treatment

  • Decreased PMS symptoms

  • Improved breast health

  • Better reproductive health, including ovaries and uterus health

  • Increased presence of antioxidants throughout the body

  • Prevention and reduction of breast cancer

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)...
