(linum usitatissimum) are rapidly becoming popular because many health conscious individuals

In flax seed, most of the lignans are located in the hull area that encases the oily insides of the seed. This
product contains only pure organic flax hulls, that have been separated from the oily inner part of the flax seed
mechanically. As a result, it is said that Flax Lignans contain 70 times SDG lignans
compared to an equal amount of traditional ground up whole seed.
Our Own Opinions on Flax Hull Lignans*:
We at Save Me Products, Inc. prefer to only offer the Organic version of the product. We know conventional grown flax hull lignans are often cheaper and can have same benefits as the Organic type. However, modern conventional farming practices often include chemical application weed control during the flax plants growth stages. Also, common with modern conventional farming practices, is pre-harvest chemical application to kill/dry the flax and weeds, just for quicker/easier harvesting. Chemical applications on live flax plants ARE NOT ALLOWED by Organic farming practices. Organic growers follow much stricter guidelines, which we consider healthier. For those reasons, we only offer the Organic grown version, as that is what we prefer to use ourselves.
Other Studies and Opinions on Flax Hull Lignans*:
Studies show that SDG lignans could be effective in a variety of health complications.
Extensive study has been done on the effects of flax lignans on certain diseases such as
melanoma, skin cancer, prostate cancer, Lupus, diabetes, and many others.
Many individuals
believe that flax lignans boost the immune system significantly, reduce excessive free
radical activity in the body, and thereby, maybe helpful to protect the body from these
diseases. Equally interesting, other users of Flax Lignans report improvement from hair loss.
In addition to reported benefits for hormone related conditions, such as hair loss, lignans have long been reported to help improve prostate health, reduce menopausal symptoms, promote heart health and have benefits for breast health. There are studies past and currently on going in varies countries, that should provided some interesting information in the future on these reported benefits.
Many pre-menopause and menopausal women, who are dealing with hormone related problems, have
reported that SDG lignans make a positive improvement in balancing their hormones. This is
probably due to the natural Phytoestrogens found in flax lignans. ED and EL mimic estrogen
in the body and is the best natural HRT replacement for women in menopause. It's not uncommon for
women to report that they overcome symptoms of "Hot Flashes" while taking Flax Lignans.
Women often
report improvement with breast tenderness, sweating, vaginal dryness, bloating, hot
flashes, panic attacks, uneven menstrual cycles, and PMS symptoms. Many
people seem to believe Flax Hulls may be one of the best natural substitute for estrogen for
both men and women experiencing menopause.
Other Flax Lignum users seem to believe/report that the daily use of flax lignans helped
support them with coping with traditional modern day medical cancer treatments for breast,
colon, bowel, and prostate cancer. Many individuals believe it helps support treatment of
HIV and AIDS especially in reducing viral infections.

different from eating the entire flax seed. The same volume of concentrated flax hulls would
be equivalent to a few hundred times in quantity of the entire flax seed to take. Remember
that excessive use of flax seed oil may be toxic to the digestive system and can cause
health problems.
Flax Hull Lignans is reported to be an excellent dietary fibre, and is considered very stable and normally does not turn rancid
at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 years. This product only contains the shell
of the seed and does not contain flax oil that was removed.
