Melrose Lignan Life

Phytoestrogens - Plant Lignans

Management of oestrogen levels with plant phytoestrogens has been a topic of research for a number of years. Isoflavonoids and lignans are two commonly occurring phytoestrogens. Isoflavonoids occur principally in soy whilst lignans occur in most plants.

The richest source of lignans is in flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), also known as Linseed, with 70-800 times more lignans than any other plant. Flaxseed has been shown to have numerous protective effects in epidemiological, animal and cell studies of breast tissue.

The major lignan in flaxseed is secoisolariciresinol (SDG). When SDG is ingested, it is transformed into the mammalian lignans Enterodiol and Enterolactone by gut bacteria. Mammalian lignans are believed not only to have chemo protective properties, but to be potent antioxidants.

Lignans play an important role in female and male well-being.
