I have read that flax is the high in lignans. What are lignans and how do they help me?
ignans are plant-derived antioxidants that, when ingested, act like weak versions of the human hormone known as estrogen. These compounds, called phytoestrogens, are extremely beneficial in off-setting the unpleasant physical manifestations of menopause, particularly night sweats and hot flashes. They have also been shown to help in the fight against cancer! Flax is the richest known source of lignans in the entire plant kingdom!
