Raw Organic Flax Powder

Thought to have first been domesticated in the Fertile Crescent, Flax has been used for centuries in a variety of applications, but is best known for its nutritional values.
Being high in Alpha Linolenic Acid (plant based Omega-3 Fatty Acids) Flax seeds have the potential to lower LDL cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, lower the risk of breast, prostate, and colon cancers, and reduce the inflammation of arthritis.

Flax also contains a mixture of soluble (able to dissolve in water) and insoluble (unable to dissolve in water) fibers. The insoluble fibers pass through your body largely unchanged and help in maintaining regularity. While the soluble fibers become gelatinous, allowing your body to absorb more moisture from them.

In addition to the Omega-3 Fatty Acids and fiber, Flax is also a good source of phytochemicals, including antioxidants. Flax is perhaps the best source of Lignans, which transform in our intestines to substances which may balance female hormones. Lignans may also promote fertility, reduce peri-menopausal symptoms and may even help prevent breast cancer. There is also evidence that lignans may help prevent Type 2 diabetes.

Because our Flax Powder doesn't contain any additives or carriers and is also high in insoluble fibers, it doesn't dissolve well in water. So, for best results we suggest mixing it with a smoothie or yogurt.
