 Since commercial methods for extracting lignans from flax
are now available, it is possible for food and supplement companies to add
lignans to their products. While consumers knew that flax was the richest source
of lignans, they weren’t sure of the amount of lignans in the flax products they
were buying…until now. Companies are now able to make products with flax lignans
and guarantee a standardized lignan content in a number of dietary supplements,
multi-vitamins and health product formulas.
For those that prefer a supplement over ground flaxseed or oil, flaxseed
lignan supplements are now readily available in health food stores. When
choosing a flax lignan supplement, read the ingredient label carefully to ensure
you are choosing the right product for your health needs. Check to make sure you
are getting a lignan-rich product derived from flax hulls and take notice of the
lignan amount.
