Action of the active ingredients
Flaxseed is extremely rich in:
- Omega-3 fatty acids: Primarily alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is important for cardiovascular health, helps reduce inflammation, and supports brain health.
- Fiber: Flaxseed contains soluble and insoluble fiber, which are important for normalizing digestive function, improving intestinal motility, and regulating blood sugar levels.
- Lignans: These are plant compounds with antioxidant properties that may help support hormonal balance and reduce the risk of certain cancers.
- Protein: Flaxseed contains about 25% protein, which is important for maintaining muscle mass and overall health.
- Minerals and vitamins: Flaxseed is a good source of important minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and copper, as well as B vitamins.
Health benefits
Consuming flaxseed has numerous health benefits:
- Improves digestion: Thanks to its high fiber content, flaxseed can help prevent constipation and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
- Supports heart health: The omega-3 fatty acids and fiber in flaxseed help reduce LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol) and regulate blood pressure.
- Helps with weight control: The fiber in flaxseed creates a feeling of satiety, which can help control appetite and reduce the desire to consume large amounts of food.
- Hormone balance: The lignans in flaxseed can help regulate hormonal balance, especially in menopausal women.
- Antioxidant Protection: Flaxseed has powerful antioxidant properties that may help protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
