BIONUTRI LIGNAN PLUS
Bionutri Lignan Plus is a supplement rich in a natural substance called lignans which also contains the probiotics L.bulgaricus and L.plantarum, together with herbal red clover, an excellent source of phyto-estrogens.
Lignans themselves are a group of protective plant nutrients that not only have strong antioxidant properties but also contain phyto-oestrogens, best known for helping to ease the symptoms of the menopause but which are also being studied as an important possible defence in the fight against certain types of cancer.
Lignans are found in grains, legumes (pulses), vegetables, in particular in sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, broccoli, cabbage, soya beans, oats, berry fruits, good red wine and, especially, flaxseed which is nature’s richest known source. Research shows these important substances could reduce the risk of a range of nasties such as heart and circulatory disorders, and cancers not only of the colon, but also breast and prostate, as well helping diabetes, menopausal symptoms, skin disorders, and bone density. They’re really important, too, in reducing inflammation, a problem which can be part and parcel of a long list of unpleasant diseases.
You'll see that I’ve recommended Linwood’s Milled Flaxseed later on these pages and you may be asking why, if I'm suggesting that you take flaxseed every day in your diet, and if organic flaxseed can be a useful source of lignans, why I would bother to recommend a supplement? Well, the level of lignans in good quality milled flax is certainly worth having but there are some situations where therapeutic doses of lignans are recommended for certain conditions. It's also worth mentioning that, unless best quality flax/linseed is in milled form (or the whole seed ground up prior to use), only a small quantity of lignans may be released and digested. In addition, don't forget that these two products play different roles, the lignan supplement being a concentrated source of antioxidants and phyto-oestrogens as mentioned above, and the seed providing essential fibre.
