PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Organic Flax Lignans Broccoli Sprouts high ORAC value
 

Fortified Flax Hulls
(with 3-day old broccoli sprouts)


contains high levels of natural botanical flax lignans and sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts



Fortified Flax Hulls as the name implies, is organic natural flax hulls fortified with 3-day old broccoli sprouts. Each jar contains 150 gm of concentrated natural flax hulls that are high in botanical lignans and 30 gm of 3-day old broccoli sprouts. The 3-day old broccoli sprouts have been specially selected and are known to contain the highest level of glucoraphanin which when chewed is converted into sulforaphane.

 The Fortified Flax Hulls:

  • contain botanical lignans which when converted to mammalian ligans are powerful free radical scavengers
  • provide nutritious fibre
  • provide the daily value of Vitamin B12 in the form of Cobalamin

Good bacteria such as LB17 live probiotic are essential to convert the botanical lignans known as secoisolariresinol dyglucoside (SDG) into mammalian lignans known as enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone (EL). It is really beneficial to use LB17 live probiotics together with the Fortified Flax Hulls. In addition to helping the body eliminate excessive free radical activity, LB17 live probiotic and Fortified Flax Hulls in combination works to boost the immune system of the body. They are a totally natural defense against colds, flus and a host of other health issues.

The 3-day old broccoli sprouts appear as yellowish specks in the fortified flax hulls, need to be chewed to release sulforaphane from glucoraphanin contained within the sprouts. Studies by Prof. Paul Talalay of Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD, USA) and others found that 3-day old broccoli sprouts contained the highest level of glucoraphanin. The broccoli sprouts used in the Fortified Flax are grown orgnaically from specially chosen seeds. They are harvested after sprouting for about 3 days.

The best way to use fortified flax hulls is to sprinkle over food and or salad so that it is chewed when eaten. One full scoop (provided in jar) daily is sufficient.

Expectant mothers or women who are wanting to conceive are advised to consult their doctor before using flax hulls

"Flax seed lignans have anti-tumor, anti-mittic, antioxidant and weak estrogenic activity."

The FDA (USA)…

"Flax seed lignans have anti-tumor, anti-mittic, antioxidant and weak estrogenic activity, are potentially the richest source of phytoestrogens in the human diet and may be linked to a low incidence of breast and colon cancer. Their significant ability to prevent cancer is recognized by the National Cancer Institute. In addition to having anti-cancer properties lignans also have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungus properties."

The Mayo Clinic (USA)…
"Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds that lower circulating estrogens in your body. Flaxseed is particularly high in one phytoestrogen, lignan, which appears to decrease estrogen production and which may inhibit the growth of some breast cancers."

The American Cancer Society…
"One study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low-fat diet along with ground flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth rate of cancer cells, and increased the death rate of cancer cells."

ANTIOXIDANTS
Flax Hull Lignans are more potent as an antioxidant than the darkest leafy green vegetable!

Kale is a vegetable that has one of the highest ORAC values (the measurement of antioxidant).

Kale's ORAC value is 1770, while concentrated Flax Hull Lignans have an ORAC value of 19,600! Prunes are the fruit with the highest ORAC value at 6,770, which still doesn't come close to Flax Hull Lignans!

*ORAC values on lignans were performed by Brunswick
