Golden Flaxseed
~ a rich source of Omega 3, Lignans + Fiber
Golden flax seed has been used for thousands of years because of its many benefits for prevention of disease and healthy living!
It is fascinating that flax has been used even as far back as 1000 BC for baking bread in Greece and Jordan!
Premium Gold Flaxseed is the best quality seed with high levels of Omega 3 oil, 10g protein and 10g Fiber in 2 Tablespoons developed by South Dakota & North Dakota State Universities.

Not all Flax seed is the same! Read more about Golden vs Brown Flaxseed. There are many body systems that are positively affected by Flax seed. Here are a few:
CELIAC DISEASE, CHRONS DISEASE, DIVERTICULITIS, DIVERTICULOSIS: Flaxseed is GLUTEN FREE and an excellent substitute to almost any recipe. Golden Flax Seed is ground in different ways and it is especially important to be very careful and know your source and -if it is ground- that it is True Cold Milled and from a source you can trust! Read more about differences in Flax seed.
Flax seed and CHOLESTEROL: Studies show substantial reductions in cholesterol levels simply by adding raw ground Flaxseed to the diet. Flax seed has helped many of my customers decrease cholesterol levels as well as decreasing their blood pressure. Some of my customers have told me they have been able to work with their Doctors to reduce or get off blood pressure medications!!CONSTIPATION Relief: Both the Omega 3 and the fiber in flax help cleanse the colon! Did you know that if we are not having a Bowel Movement every day (or every other day), that our body is REABSORBING Cholesterol!!And our bodies just cannot get rid of the toxins it is trying so hard to move out!
BLOOD SUGAR: Flax seed is a Low Glycemic food and has a glycemic index of 32. The glycemic index rates how quickly the body breaks down the food and how it affects blood sugars.
Low glycemic foods will help the body avoid producing too much insulin. Too much insulin production causes us to store fat and increases our risk for diabetes, weight gain, high triglycerides, heart disease, cancer, and other health problems.
INFLAMMATORY AILMENTS: Lignans are found in the hull of the seed and many of my customers have experienced relief from inflammatory problems such as arthritis, joint pain, back pain as well as asthma, allergies, arthritis, and sinusitis.
FEMALE HORMONES Flax seed is an excellent plant source of estrogen. ISOFLAVONES + LIGNANS found in flax seed may be a great alternative or supplement to Hormone Replacement Therapy in consultation with your physician. Isoflavones help relieve hot flashes, + night sweats, while also promoting vaginal moisture, all without the sometimes negative side effects of HRT. I have many women who have told me that after they began to take LIGNANS that their hot flashes completely disappeared! Read some of their stories here!
BREAST CANCER + PROSTATE CANCER PREVENTION: More and more studies are showing that Lignans protect against these 2 types of cancer. More research here.
BRAIN FOOD: The OMEGA 3 found in flax seed provides the brain with essential fatty acids. Omega 3 may be very beneficial for brain development in children, prevention of memory loss, and may contribute to the treatment of depression and mood disorders, such as ADD and ADHD.
HEALTHY SKIN: The Omega 3 in Flaxseed may contribute to improved skin conditions such as Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, and dry skin.
WEIGHT LOSS or maintaining weight: The Omega 3 are the good fats that tell your brain you are full, while the fiber in flaxseed helps the body work hard to break down the food, thus enabling your body to get more 'bang for the buck' and feel satiated longer!
EVERY DAY IS A GREAT DAY WITH FLAX!!
