Flax is a rich source of plant lignans that are converted by gut bacteria into mammalian lignans called enterodiol and enterolactone. These mammalian lignans have antioxidant and hormone-balancing properties that are beneficial for heart health, bone health, cancer prevention, and other conditions. Lignans from flax have been shown to reduce risk factors for diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancers of the breast and prostate by binding to estrogen receptors, inhibiting enzymes involved in hormone synthesis, and reducing oxidative stress.
Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that have a similar structure to the hormone estrogen. While they can bind to estrogen receptors in the body, they produce both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects. Estrogen is an important hormone produced primarily in women's ovaries and plays a key role in sexual development, the menstrual cycle, and maintaining overall health and bone density. Long-term estrogen therapy has been used to treat menopause symptoms and prevent osteoporosis but is also associated with increased risks of certain cancers, blood clots, and heart disease. Phytoestrogens are being studied as a potentially safer alternative to conventional estrogen therapy.
Herbal Medicine for Treatment of AsthmaMona Ismail
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.
Saponins are plant constituents that cause foaming in aqueous solutions. They are glycosides that can be toxic if injected in the bloodstream but are harmless when taken orally. There are two main types of saponins - pentacyclic triterpenoid and steroidal. Saponins are hydrolyzed into aglycones and sugars. Aglycones determine the saponin type. Many plants contain medicinally active saponins such as diosgenin from Dioscorea villosa wild yam. Saponins have expectorant, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties and are used to treat various conditions.

Diet is not all about loosing or gaining weight, its therapeutic benefits are often taken lightly by most of us. Planning of a therapeutic diet implies the ability to adopt the principal of normal nutrition to the various regimens for adequacy, correctness, economy and palatability. It requires recognition of the need for dietary supplements such as vitamin and mineral concentrates when the nature of the diet itself imposes severe restrictions, the patient's appetite is poor or absorption and utilization are impaired so that the diet cannot meet the needs of optimum nutrition.
There are several therapeutic benefits of a well balanced diet such as:
•Fuel to perform daily activities
•Nutrients for the body's cells
•Growth and repair of tissue
•Reinforcing the immune system
•Preventing chronic diseases of lifestyle
•Maintaining good mental health
•Ensuring healthy teeth and bones

PHYTOESTROGEN : NUTRACEUTICAL POINT OF VIEWAyushMishra200
Phytoestrogen is a plant-derived xenoestrogen. It is generated by eating phytoestrogenic plants.It is called as "dietary estrogen", It is structurally similar with estradiol (17-β-estradiol), have the ability to cause estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. Phytoestrogens were first observed in 1926. In the 1940s and early 1950s, it was noticed that some pastures of subterranean clover and red clover (phytoestrogen-rich plants) had adverse effects on the fecundity of grazing sheep. Phytoestrogens mainly belong to a large group of substituted natural phenolic compounds COUMESTANS PRENYLFLAVONOIDS ISOFLAVONES Lignans have also been identified as phytoestrogens, although they are not flavonoids. Mycoestrogens have similar structures and effects, but are not components of plants; these are mold metabolites of Fusarium, especially common on cereal grains. Phytoestrogens exert their effects primarily through binding to estrogen receptors (ER). There are two variants of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α) beta (ER-β). Many phytoestrogens display somewhat higher affinity for ER-β, compared to ER-α.
Some phytoestrogens bind to and transactivate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). These compounds in plants are an important part of their defense system mainly against fungi. Phytoestrogens are ancient naturally occurring substances, and as dietary phytochemicals they are considered as coevolutive with mammals. In the human diet, phytoestrogens are not the only source of exogenous estrogens. In human beings, phytoestrogens are readily absorbed into the circulatory system, circulate in plasma, and are excreted in the urine. A wide range of beneficial effects of phytoestrogens on the cardiovascular, metabolic, central nervous systems, reduction of risk of cancer and post menopausal symptoms have been claimed. There is also concern that phytoestrogens may act as endocrine disruptors that adversely affect health. MALES - neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements alter measures of bioavailable testosterone concentrations in men. FEMALES - protective effect against breast cancer.
The document discusses natural preservatives used to extend the shelf life of foods. It defines preservatives as substances that inhibit spoilage from microbes or undesirable chemical changes. Natural preservatives discussed include salt, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, rosemary extract, onion, olive oil, cloves, oregano, and castor oil.

The document provides examples of how each preservative is used and its role in food preservation.
This document provides an overview of food irradiation, including its history, uses, principles, units of measurement, types of irradiation sources, safety, and applications. Food irradiation involves exposing food to ionizing radiation like gamma rays or electron beams to destroy microorganisms and insects. It has been used since the early 1900s and allows for extended shelf life and reduced risk of foodborne illness by killing pathogens without raising the food's temperature. Common irradiated foods include spices, wheat, potatoes, and various fruits and vegetables. Doses are typically below 10 kiloGrays. While it reduces spoilage and pathogens, irradiation can also decrease some vitamins and potentially oxidize fats. Overall, international organizations have deemed food irradiation to be
This document provides an overview of nutraceuticals. It begins with the history and definition of nutraceuticals, explaining they were coined in 1989 to describe nutrients that provide medical benefits.

- Maternal nutrition and environmental exposures during pregnancy can impact the fetal epigenome through DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNAs. This can increase the risk of health issues like metabolic syndrome later in life.
- Certain phytochemicals from foods like epigallocatechin gallate, resveratrol, genistein, and curcumin may beneficially influence the fetal epigenome by regulating enzymes involved in epigenetic modifications.
- Adequate intake of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals during pregnancy and lactation may help protect the offspring by modulating the fetal epigenome.
If we were to identify one common wish that unites humanity, it's probably the desire to live as long as possible. A long, healthy, and happy life has been one of man's major pursuits since the dawn of history.
The ancient Egyptians relied on magic spells and strange herbal mixtures thought to prolong life and even achieve immortality. Ancient explorers went on perilous quests in hopes of finding the mythical "fountain of youth". Alchemists through the ages experimented with a range of substances to create the elixir of life. Some of these substances were actually highly toxic!
Blueberries have many health benefits due to their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They contain phytochemicals like anthocyanins that may prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Regular consumption of blueberries has been linked to cognitive benefits, better vision and urinary tract health, and reduced risk of chronic diseases. Blueberries are widely available fresh, frozen, dried, or in other products throughout the year.

What is the Black Seed?
Its botanical name is Nigella sativa. It is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated into other parts of the world including the Arabian peninsula, northern Africa and parts of Asia.
The Black seeds originate from the common fennel flower plant (Nigella sativa) of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. It is sometimes mistakenly confused with the fennel herb plant (Foeniculum vulgare).
The plant has finely divided foliage and pale bluish purple or white flowers. The stalk of the plant reaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches as its fruit, the black seed, matures.
The Black Seed forms a fruit capsule which consists of many white trigonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens up and the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color.
The Black seeds are small black grains with a rough surface and an oily white interior, similar to onion seeds. The seeds have little bouquet, though when rubbed, their aroma resembles oregano. They have a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a crunchy texture.
The Black Seed is also known by other names, varying between places. Some call it black caraway, others call it black cumin, onion seeds or even coriander seeds. The plant has no relation to the common kitchen herb, cumin.
Muslims’ use of the Black Seed:
Muslims have been using and promoting the use of the Black Seed for hundreds of years, and hundreds of articles have been written about it. The Black Seed has also been in use worldwide for over 3000 years. It is not only a prophetic herb, but it also holds a unique place in the medicine of the Prophet .
It is unique in that it was not used profusely before the Prophet Muhammad made its use popular. Although there were more than 400 herbs in use before the Prophet Muhammad and recorded in the herbals of Galen and Hippocrates, the Black Seed was not one of the most popular remedies of the time. Because of the way Islam has spread, the usage and popularity of the Black Seed is widely known as a "remedy of the Prophet ." In fact, a large part of this herbal preparation's popularity is based on the teachings of the Prophet .
The Black Seed has become very popular in recent years and is marketed and sold by many Muslim and non-Muslim

It should be consumed fresh within 15 minutes for maximum benefit.
Black Seed – Cures every disease except death Om Verma
Nigella sativa or Black Seed is an annual flowering plant, native to southwest Asia, eastern coastal countries of Mediterranean region and North Africa. Nigella is a derived from Latin word Niger (black). It grows to 20–30 cm tall, with finely divided, linear leaves. The flowers are delicate and usually coloured pale blue and white, with five to ten petals. The fruit is a large and inflated capsule composed of three to seven united follicles, each containing numerous seeds.
The Black seeds are small black grains with a rough surface and an oily white interior, similar to onion seeds. Black seed has a peculiar aromatic and pungent smell, while onion seeds don’t have this smell. Black seeds have a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a crunchy texture. The seed is used as a spice, medicine, cosmetic and flavoring agent.
Sour cabbage – Professor of Probiotics
The first and most overlooked reason that our digestive tract is crucial to our
health is because 80 percent of our entire immune system is located in your
digestive tract. In addition, our digestive system is the second largest part of our
neurological system, called enteric nervous system or the second brain.
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria, which hold the master key for healing
digestive issues, better health, stronger immune system, mental and neurological
disorders. Sour cabbage is the best probiotic food (Germans call it Sauerkraut), It
is produced by lacto-fermentation of the cabbage.
Wild Oregano (Origanum Vulgare ) is a perennial herb that has purple flowers and spade-shaped, olive-green leaves. The whole plant has a strong, peculiar, fragrant, balsamic odour and a warm, bitterish, aromatic taste, both of which properties are preserved when the herb is dry. The oregano sold as a spice is either Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana) or Mexican Sage.
There are over 40 oregano species, but the most therapeutically beneficial is the wild oregano or Origanum vulgare that's native to Mediterranean mountains. To obtain oregano oil, the dried flowers and leaves of the plant are harvested when the oil content of the plant is at its highest, and then distilled.

Biography of Dr. Johanna Budwig in Health of India (Covery Story)Om Verma
Definitively Budwig Protocol is a miracle cure for cancer with documented 90% success if you follow this treatment perfectly and religiously. This treatment targets on prime cause of cancer. Prime cause of Cancer is oxygen deficiency in the cells. Two factors are essential to attract oxygen in the cells: 1- Sulfur containing protein (found in cottage cheese) and 2- some unknown fat which nobody could identify until 1949 when Dr. Budwig developed paperchromatography technique to identify fats. These fats were Alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid found abundantly in FLAX OIL. Thus she developed Cancer therapy based on Flax oil and cottage cheese.
पिछले महीने हमें बॉक्सर प्रजाति का एक श्वेत “पप” प्राप्त हुआ, जिसे हम मिनी बुलाने लगे थे। हम सब बहुत खुश थे। पूरे परिवार में खुशी की लहर थी।
परंतु 4 मई की रात को अचानक मुई बिजली गुल हो गई। मिनी अंधेरे में नीचे उतर गई और नीचे किसी लड़के ने गलती से अपना पैर मिनी के पैर पर रख दिया। बस बेचारी असहाय मिनी की जोर से चीख निकली। हम सब उसकी चीख सुन कर नीचे भागे। वह दर्द के मारे चीखती ही जा रही थी। हमारी समझ में आ चुका था कि मामला अत्यंत गंभीर है और जरूर इसकी फीमर का फ्रेक्चर हुआ है। हमारी सारी श्वेत और उज्वल खुशियों पर यह काली रात कालिख पोत चुकी थी। पूरी रात हम सो भी न सके। कभी मैं, तो कभी मेरी पत्नि उसे गोद में लेकर रात भर बैठे रहे।
सुबह कोटा के कई वेट चिकित्सकों से परामर्श ले लिया गया। कोई ठीक से बता नहीं पा रहा था कि मिनी के पैर का उपचार किस प्रकार होगा, रोड डलेगी, सर्जरी होगी या प्लेटिंग करनी होगी। हमें लगा कि कोटा में समय बर्बाद नहीं करना व्यर्थ है और तुरंत मिनी को जयपुर या दिल्ली के किसी बड़े वेट सर्जन को दिखाना चाहिये।
मैंने मेरे एक मित्र अनिल, जो जयपुर में रहते हैं, से बात की। उन्होंने मुझे पूरा आश्वासन दिया व कहा कि उनके ब्रदर-इन-लॉ विख्यात वेट चिकित्सक हैं और वे सब व्यवस्था करवा देंगे। तब जाकर मन को थोड़ा सकून मिला। 10 मिनट बाद ही उनके ब्रदर-इन-लॉ ड
After the advent of "lipid hypothesis", which linked the consumption of dietary fat with increased risk of heart disease and other health problems, fat was highly defamed by the medical establishment that many people started thinking that the best answer to the "fat problem" is to stay away from it as far as possible. Food processing companies quickly took advantage of this era of “fat phobia”, and soon flooded the market with "low fat" and "no fat" products, promising to put an end to heart disease and obesity, but the incidence of these diseases is still skyrocketing.
The truth is that not all fats are equal. While the consumption of some bad fats (trans-fats) are, really, a risk factor for many health problems, some other fats, including alpha-linolenic acid ALA and linoleic acid LA, are so important for health that they have been termed "essential fatty acids" (EFAs). Our body needs them to perform vitally important functions, but our body is unable to produce them. Therefore, we must get them from our food. That's why any attempt to indiscriminately reduce or eliminate all fats from our diet inevitably leads to an EFA deficiency, which may be very dangerous to health.
For all the good it does, fat is often blamed to cause obesity, because it contains 9 calories per gram, in contrast to carbohydrate and protein which contain only 4 calories. Yet, it's a mistake to relate dietary fat with body fat. You can get fat by eating carbs and protein, even if you eat little dietary fat.
In 1956, Hugh Sinclair, one of the world's greatest researchers in the field of nutrition, suggested that an upsurge in the so-called "diseases of civilization" e.g. coronary heart disease, strokes, type-2 diabetes, arthritis and cancer - was caused by modern diets being extremely poor in essential fatty acids (EFA) and full of processed foods rich in trans-fatty acids. Although Sinclair's opinion was not supported by his pears, and he was even criticized by some of them for his bold hypothesis; later research convincingly showed that he was, indeed, correct. In fact, he is now praised for insights that were far ahead of his time.
Fat gives us beauty, shape and protection. A thin fat layer located under the skin helps to insulate and maintain the proper body temperature. Fat is used as a source of backup energy when carbohydrates are not available. Vitamin A, D, E and K are known as fat-soluble vitamins, need fat in order to be absorbed and stored. Fats are also responsible for making sex hormones, cell membranes and prostaglandins.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

7 Star Nutrient of the Millennium
Lignans represent one of the four major classes of chemical compounds referred to collectively known as
phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant chemicals that can have estrogen-like actions in humans. The main
phytoestrogens are lignans, isoflavonoids, flavonoids and stilbenes. Their health beneficial properties extend beyond
hormone-dependent breast cancer, osteoporosis, and prostate cancer to include brain function, cardiovascular
disease, immune function, inflammation and reproduction.
The discovery of flaxseed as a lignan storehouse came by sheer chance says Kenneth Setchell,
PhD, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati. In a study in 1978, he and his colleagues
unexpectedly found lignan levels in one patient several hundred times higher than had ever been
seen before. The patient, it turned out, baked his own bread and always added flaxseed.
Flax Lignans
Flax is very rich source of plant lignans, being very rich in the lignan secoisolariciresinol
diglucoside (SDG). Flax contains other lignans as well – namely, matairesinol, pinoresinol, lariciresinol,
isolariciresinol and secoisolariciresinol (often abbreviated SECO).
Metabolism of lignans
The lignans SDG, SECO, pinoresinol,
lariciresinol and matairesinol in flax
are converted by bacteria in the colon
to the mammalian lignans, enterodiol
and enterolactone. Isolariciresinol is
not converted to mammalian lignans.
Enterodiol and enterolactone are
called mammalian lignans or
enterolignans because they are
produced in the gut of humans; they
are not found in plants.
The biologic activity of flax lignans
depends on the presence of certain
bacteria in the gut. Some humans
appear to lack either the right type or a
sufficient number of gut bacteria to
1 | P a g e
4. convert SDG and other lignans to mammalian lignans, and taking antibiotics virtually stops the production of
enterodiol and enterolactone in the gut for several weeks.
Enterodiol and enterolactone have three metabolic
fates: 1) They can be excreted directly in the
feces; 2) They can be taken up by epithelial cells
lining the human colon, conjugated with glucuronic
acid or sulfate and excreted in the feces or enter
the circulation; or 3) They can be absorbed from
the gut and The concentration of enterodiol and
enterolactone in the feces, blood and urine is
related to the concentration of plants lignans in the
diet. Eating flax or Lignan supplement increases
the blood levels of mammalian lignans and the excretion of mammalian lignans and/or total lignans in feces and
urine.
Lignan metabolism is far more complex than originally thought. Plant lignans are not metabolized completely to
mammalian lignans, and some plant lignans such as SECO can be detected in plasma. Furthermore, lignan
metabolism may not stop at enterodiol and enterolactone, there may be additional metabolites derived from these
mammalian lignans. These new findings raise questions about which lignan is the most important and most
biologically active form.
Flax is one of the richest
sources of lignans identified
to date. Lignans in
flaxseeds are 47 to 800
times more than any other
lignan source. Gram for
gram, flax has 47 times the
total lignan content of
sesame seeds and more
than 600 times the total
lignan content of garlic.
Whole flax seed contains 1-
26 mg SDG/g, which works
out to about 11-286 mg
SDG/tbsp of whole seed or
about 8-208 mg SDG/tbsp
of milled flax. Lignans are
also found in most fibre-rich
plants: sesame seeds;
nuts; cereals; breads made
with flax and/or grains;
legumes and soy products;
vegetables; and dried fruits.
How Mammalian
Lignans Work
The mammalian lignans are
believed to work by binding
2 | P a g e
5. to estrogen receptors on cell membranes, much like the body’s own estrogens do. The bound mammalian lignans
affect the receptor’s actions within the cell and ultimately the tissues like those of the reproductive tract respond.
The mammalian lignans are not as powerful as the body’s own estrogens, which are called endogenous estrogens.
Even so, they can act as either weak estrogens or they can oppose the actions of estrogen, depending on the
presence of stronger endogenous estrogen. During women’s reproductive age, when blood levels of endogenous
estrogens are at their highest, the lignans can bind to the estrogen receptor and block the actions of endogenous
estrogens. In this case, they act as estrogen antagonists. After menopause, the levels of endogenous estrogens in
the blood decrease naturally because the ovaries release less natural estrogens. In this case, the lignans act like
weak estrogens.
Nectar of Rejuvenation
Flax lignans and the mammalian lignans (enterodiol and enterolactone) are
biologically active. Lignans have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral,
antilupus, antiallergic, antiHIV and anticancer properties. They influence
gene expression (activation) and may protect against estrogen-related
diseases such as breast cancer and osteoporosis. Diets high in lignans may
help maintain good cognitive function in post-menopausal women; reduce
breast cancer risk in women and reduce the risk of acute fatal coronary
events and prostate cancer in men.
The main flax lignan SDG is a powerful antioxidant. It scavenges for certain
free radicals like the hydroxyl ion (•OH). Our bodies produce free radicals
continually as we metabolize fats, proteins, alcohol and some
carbohydrates for energy. Free radicals can damage tissues and have been
implicated in the pathology of many diseases like atherosclerosis, cancer and Alzheimer disease. The mammalian
lignans, enterodiol and enterolactone, also act as antioxidants. Indeed, the antioxidant action of SECO and enterodiol
is five times greater than that of vitamin E.
Lignan favorably influences immune reactions. ALA and lignans working block the release of pro-inflammatory
cytokines and decrease blood CRP levels. Lignans have been shown to decrease the production of TNFα and IL-6.
Lignans are Platelet activating factor receptor antagonists and thus block the pro-inflammatory actions of PAF.
Through these effects, flax consumption may help prevent and treat disorders characterized in part by an over-
stimulated immune system. Such disorders include atherosclerosis, obesity, the metabolic syndrome, rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The researchers concluded that a flax lignan
taken daily resulted in a modest improvement in glycemic control (measured by HbA1c concentration) in the adults
with type 2 diabetes.
Lignans - Elixir of Womanhood
It is hypothesized that the interplay between natural estrogen and lignans, is a prerequisite for optimal health in
women. Therefore, they have a plethora of positive roles to play in women’s health issues. Estrogen levels are
typically high in women during the childbearing years and then fall away through the peri-menopausal and post-
menopausal years. While lignans have estrogen-like action, they are considerably weaker than our endogenous
estrogen, and act as hormone balancers. An important feature of these plant hormones is that they do not stimulate
reproductive tissue. In conditions which are linked with excess estrogen (such as PMS, unhealthy breast tissue and
breast cancer) lignans compete with a woman’s own estrogen, having an estrogen lowering effect.
3 | P a g e
6. In conditions
associated with
declining estrogen
levels such as
menopause, lignans
have the opposite
effect, increasing levels
of estrogen. This
balancing action is due
to their ability to
competitively lock onto
our body’s Estrogen
receptor sites.
Consequently, lignans
are used to reduce
symptoms of
menopause, such as
hot flushes, night
sweats, mood swings
and breast tenderness. Lignans have beneficial effects on the menstrual cycle. They reduce the risk of uterine
fibroids in middle-aged women.
Lignan has been found to substantially increase milk production in women who are not producing enough milk to
nurse their infants. It also often clears up breast engorgement. Lignans may shape up small and loose breasts in
young women. Other conditions where lignans may be helpful includes bone health, prostate conditions, hair loss
and acne. Women with increased intake of lignans, tend to have lower BMIs and total body fat mass, says a new
study from Canada. These days woman puts weight after her first delivery. Lignans prevent this post-delivery obesity.
Heart friendly
Today people are turning to more natural ingredients to maintain overall heart health and
reduce risk factors to the heart. Cardiovascular disease is the result of atherosclerosis, in
which deposits of cholesterol and other substances accumulate and form plaque on
artery walls. Plaque build-up can gradually narrow the lumen of the artery, restricting
blood flow. Sometimes plaque breaks away from the artery wall, which can cause a
blood clot. A heart attack or stroke can occur when blood flow is completely blocked.
High cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Free radicals are also
implicated in the development of atherosclerosis or hardening of the artery walls. Studies
suggest that the dietary fiber and certain fatty acids in flax can help reduce risks of
cardiovascular disease. Research also suggests that flax lignans play a major role in
cardiovascular health. The effectiveness of SDG in heart health could be due to their
powerful antioxidant activity. Lignans act like other antioxidants in blocking the oxidation
of LDL particles and decreasing their deposition in arterial walls. The oxidation of LDL is believed to be a key
pathological event in the development of atherosclerosis.
Flaxseed taken daily can reduce total and bad (LDL) cholesterol levels, because whole flaxseed contains several
heart health components (fatty acids, fiber and lignans). These studies could not tell us how much effect is due to the
lignans. Recently a study was done in rabbits, using lignans (SDG) isolated from flaxseed. The object of the study
was to determine the effect of the lignans on cholesterol, oxidative stress and on the development of atherosclerosis
in rabbits fed a high cholesterol diet. Results showed that the flax lignan reduced deposits of cholesterol, plaque
build-up and other substances on the artery walls (atherosclerosis) by as much as 73 percent. The reduction of

cholesterol. These results suggest that the heart benefits of SDG may be due to its antioxidant activity and a lipid
lowering effect.
Bone maker
Studies also indicates that lignans may promote and support bone health. It is known that hormone deficiency is a
risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. As phytoestrogens, lignans are reported to possess both
weak estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities and may be a natural alternative for women in preserving bone health.
Cancer killer
Mammalian lignans appear to exert anticancer effects
through both hormone and non-hormone-related actions. The
mammalian lignans enterodiol and enterolactone inhibit two
key enzymes involved in estrogen synthesis; both enzymes
are associated with increased breast cancer risk. Lignans
may also have non-hormone-related actions, such as
antioxidant activity, inhibiting angiogenesis (the growth of
blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to tumor for
growth), promote cancer cell apoptosis (destruction) and cell
proliferation, and/or altering the expression of growth factors
that stimulate tumor development. Cancer cells utilize the
tyrosine kinase enzymes to fuel their rapid growth. Enterolactone helps to inhibit the tyrosine kinase enzyme.
A study in Finland found that women with high enterolactone levels in their blood had a lower risk of breast cancer.
High levels of enterolactone indicate increased dietary intake of plant lignans, such as SDG. These studies suggest
that eating a diet rich in lignans may be protective against breast cancer.
Studies have shown that urinary excretion of mammalian lignans is frequently lower in breast cancer patients than in
normal healthy postmenopausal women, suggesting that lignans may have a protective effect against breast cancer.
In a randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial of 39 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer, patients
received 25 Gms flaxseed or placebo daily for just over a month before surgery. The patients who received flaxseed
meal had decreased tumor cell proliferation rate similar to the effects seen with the breast cancer drug,Tamoxifen.
The researchers suggest that breast cancer patients who consume flax after surgery may experience reduced risk of
metastasis and an improved clinical prognosis.
Acne
Millions of people suffer from acne, a condition affecting the pilosebaceous units of
skin. While the cause of acne is not completely understood, heredity, hormones and
bacteria all play a role. During puberty, the production of adrenal androgens is
increased in both boys and girls. The elevation of androgens can cause an increase in
sebum production, particularly in the face, chest and back (sebum is a waxy
substance that helps the skin retain moisture). Excess sebum can lead to acne; the
level of sebum excretion has been shown to correlate well with the severity of acne.
Recent research points to flax lignans as a natural and wonderful alternative for the
treatment of acne. Lignans have been shown to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase, an enzyme
involved in the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Inhibition of this enzyme shows
promise in the treatment of a number of androgen- dependent disorders, including acne. Therefore flax lignans are
definitely the possible treatment of acne.

8. Baldness
Androgenetic alopecia also called male pattern baldness the most common from
of hair loss, is a hormonal as well as a genetic issue. It affects about 50 percent
of 50 year-old men. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent form of the male
hormone testosterone, can get inside hair follicles and make them shrink so that
they produce thinner hair and eventually none at all. Secoisolariciresinol
diglucoside (SDG), the main flax lignan, can help prevent this by inhibiting
production of the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, called 5-alpha
reductase. Thus lignans are very miraculous for hair growth.
Protector of manhood
Flax lignans have many potential benefits for men, specifically in
prostate health. Because of the growing health problem a great deal of
attention is being focused on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH
affects 50 % of men aged 50 to 60 and up to 90% of men over the age
of 80.
This condition can be a problem because the urethra, the tube carrying
urine from the bladder to outside the body, runs through the prostate. A
growing prostate can pinch off the urethra and cause uncomfortable
symptoms, like a frequent and overwhelming urge to urinate and painful urination. The exact cause of BPH is
unknown but male hormones
seem to play a role. Hormones
also play a role in another
prostate condition - prostate
cancer, the second leading
cause of cancer death among
men.
In the body, testosterone is
converted to a more potent form
called dihydrotestosterone or
DHT. Normal, healthy prostate
cells require DHT for growth.
However, it is thought that too
much of the hormone can cause
abnormal growth— leading to an
enlarged prostate (BPH) or
causing prostate cancer cells to
divide. Therefore, prostate health
depends on balanced levels of
these hormones.
Lignans are shown to block the
action of the enzyme (5 alpha-
reductase) that converts
testosterone into the more potent
form (DHT). Additionally, lignans
have also been shown to inhibit
other enzymes, which are
6 | P a g e
9. essential for the synthesis of testosterone and estrogen. Lignans may also potentially reduce the amount of
testosterone available for the body to use. In the average male, only a small amount of testosterone roams free in the
blood. Most testosterone is bound to protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). An increase in SHBG
would theoretically leave less testosterone available to stimulate prostate cell growth. Lignans have been shown to
increase SHBG production. Lignans also lower prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels (a marker for prostate cancer).
Why should you take a lignan dietary supplement?
Most of us don’t eat enough unrefined grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes necessary to provide the plant
lignans we need to benefit our health. The average intake of lignans in India is only about 1 milligram per day. Yet,
researchers say that we need a minimum of 50 to 100
milligrams of lignans per day in order to raise our enterolactone
levels. To get enough lignan you should consume 1 scoop of
milled flax, 54.8 Kg broccoli, 59 Kg garlic, 83 Kg soybeans, 118
Kg carrots or 2248 Kg oat meal.
Studies done so far indicates that dietary Phytoestrogens exert
positive, balancing and protective effects in humans. In the past
18 months, consumer awareness of plant lignans has grown
tremendously with media coverage of studies proposing health
benefits. In past few years lot of research has been done but
still tons of information is in the pipeline. Today we admire
flaxseeds as a great source of omega-3 fats but tomorrow it will
be remembered as the greatest source of nutritional superman - The L i g n a n.
