Natural source of flax lignans

A highly concentrated lignan extract from flax

LinumLife® is carefully produced from selected flaxseed hulls. Flaxseed has been recognized as the
richest natural source of lignans, with a concentration more than 100 times higher than any other plant source in the human diet. LinumLife® is standardized on 20% lignans as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). LinumLife® is highly stable, allowing formulators to use it in functional foods and dietary supplements as well as in cosmetic applications to improve skin health and wellness.

Natural support for health

Lignans are complex classes of bioactive polyphenolic phytochemicals. They possess numerous biological properties that are useful in promoting various aspects of health including:
• Men’s health
• Prostate health
• Hair growth
• Maintenance of healthy hormone levels (SHBG, 5 α-reductase, DHT)

Science

Many studies have evaluated the effects of LinumLife® ^1-4. In a study of men with recently diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), LinumLife® consumption resulted in a significant reduction of obstructive bladder symptoms compared to baseline.
