Flaxseeds Linseed Organic - Brown or Gold Choose Form
Scientific Name: Linum usitatissimum L.
Origin: USA
Flax seeds have been used and cultivated since ancient times, and are native to regions of the Middle East and India. The fibers from the flax plant have a rich history of their own, with discovery of their use dating back over 30,000 years. The plant grows to nearly four feet tall with round dry fruits that contain the seeds.
In recent years, flax seed has become popular in the mainstream market. It can be found in a number of forms, including oils, oil capsules, whole seeds, ground seeds, and as an ingredient in breads, cereals, muffins, and breakfast bars. Since 80% of Americans may be deficient in the omega-3 essential fatty acids that flax provides, flax is one of the most important and most widely accepted of the herbal health foods.

Polycystic Ovarian SyndromePCOS
Obesity is one of the main causes of the onset of PCOS. Studies have demonstrated that flaxseed supplementation for 12 weeks led to a significant reduction in body weight, waist circumference, and BMI in the women with PCOS.
Findings suggest that flaxseed have a profound impact on testosterone levels, and also may diminish symptoms associated with hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism (unwanted male-pattern hair growth on a woman's face, chest and back.Hirsutism can result from excess male hormones, called androgens. This may occur with certain medical conditions. It may also be inherited.)
The reductions in androgen levels observed in this case study far surpass those reported with any other dietary intervention conducted to date.
Ovarian Cysts
Flaxseeeds are rich in Omega 3 fatty acid. Omega 3 rich foods help in controlling the hormone disruption that happens in Ovarian cysts. Flax seeds have proven to be effective in lowering down the body's androgen levels which tend to increase in this condition.
Are Flaxseeds Safe for Fibroids?
Flaxseeds are generally considered safe for individuals with uterine fibroids and may even offer potential benefits in managing the condition. Here’s a detailed exploration of how flaxseeds can impact fibroids:
1. Nutritional Profile of Flaxseeds Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which possess anti-inflammatory properties. They also contain lignans, a type of phytoestrogen that can modulate estrogen levels in the body. This is particularly relevant because uterine fibroids are often influenced by estrogen.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects Research indicates that the omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseeds can help reduce inflammation, which is believed to play a role in the development of fibroids. Inflammation within the uterine tissue may contribute to fibroid growth, so incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like flaxseed could be beneficial.
3. Hormonal Regulation The lignans in flaxseeds act as phytoestrogens, meaning they can mimic or modulate estrogen activity in the body. This property may help balance estrogen levels, potentially reducing the stimulation of fibroid growth associated with high estrogen levels.
4. Fiber Content Flaxseeds are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps eliminate excess estrogen from the body through regular bowel movements. This is crucial since elevated estrogen levels are linked to fibroid development.
5. Research Findings Studies conducted on animal models have shown promising results regarding flaxseed’s ability to reduce the size of uterine fibroids. For instance, research involving hens indicated that those fed a diet including flaxseed had smaller oviductal leiomyomas (analogous to human uterine fibroids) compared to control groups.
6. Dietary Recommendations While flaxseeds can be beneficial, it’s essential to consume them as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Ground flaxseeds are recommended over whole seeds for better nutrient absorption so grind your flaxseeds before use in a blender.
7. Individual Considerations As with any dietary change, individuals should consult healthcare professionals before making significant adjustments to their diet—especially if they have existing health conditions or concerns about hormone-sensitive issues.
In summary, flaxseeds are considered safe for individuals with fibroids and may provide several benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects and hormonal regulation that could help manage or reduce fibroid symptoms.
PREPARATIONS
