Based on this wisdom, we designed a complex with:
Flaxseed Super Lignans* (because not all Lignans are created equal). Lignans are widely distributed in plant material and form a normal part of our everyday diet and Flax seeds (linseed) is the ultimate food source providing around 100x more than any other plant, in fact SDG accounts for more than 95% of the lignans in flax. Lignans are commonly referred to as phytoestrogens because the mammalian lignans into which they are fermented by our natural colonic bacteria, are associated with the normal homoeostasis of sex hormones of both men and women. This can be useful during the menopause and in the teenage years, as well as nutritionally supporting the health of the cardiovascular and skeletal system and the prostate gland in men. Lignans and essential fatty acids can help maintain the integrity of the skin and the normal regeneration of healthy dermal cells.
Red Clover (so much more than a pretty flower). A beautiful source of antioxidants and isoflavones – with unique phytoestrogenic properties. In a field, red clover is planted to nurture and rejuvenate the land – preventing erosion and enriching the soil with nitrogen and nutrients. With your skin we consume, red clover to balance hormones, whilst reducing inflammation and regenerating skin cells.
Limonene that together with lignans help the body deal with the negative effects of 4-hydroxy oestrogen as well as assisting the liver in the natural detoxification process. Lovely Limonen occurs naturally in the oils of a variety of fruits and spices.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus plantarum – two lactic acid forming bacteria that help contribute to a favourable environment in the intestinal tract (always a good thing!) and support the natural fermentation process of food and helps facilitate the release and absorption of biologically active nutrients.
* Lignans present in Linum Usitatissimum may support menopausal health.
