Lignans

Lignans are capable of binding to oestrogen receptors in the body, thereby preventing excess or “bad” oestrogen from promoting cancerous growths. They also have a weak oestrogen effect that can serve as a natural and safe form of Hormone Replacement Therapy for post-menopausal women.

This ability to both reduce or increase oestrogen as needed, has multiple benefits for both sexes. Hormonal balance is increasingly at risk from stress and chemicals in our environment, particularly from plastics such as cling-wrap, food containers and water bottles. This can lead to serious health risks.

Benefits of lignans for women:

• Improvement in PMS/PMT and menopause symptoms
• Post menopause benefits such as:
• Less vaginal dryness
• Better bone density
• Fewer wrinkles
• Better skin condition
• Reduced hair loss
• Better mood
• Reduced cancer risk

Benefits of lignans for men:

• Improvement in prostate health
• Reduced cancer risk
• Decrease in hair loss (in some studies)

Lignans have powerful antioxidant qualities and therefore have beneficial effects for blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels and all the other general benefits that antioxidants provide. Evidence suggests that Lignans are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory. Lignans also modulate and strengthen the immune system, thereby helping in all health problems including auto-immune conditions.
