[Characteristics]
Flax seed is an ancient grain that has been used in the diets of humans for thousands of years. Hippocrates,
the father of medicine, used flax seed for the relief of intestinal discomfort in 650 BC.
The seeds and oil of the flax plant contain substances which promote good health. Flaxseed and flaxseed oil
are rich in alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart
disease. ALA belongs to a group of substances called omega-3 fatty acids.
SDG is classified as a phytoestrogen since it is a plant derived, nonsteroid compound that possesses
estrogen-like activity.
SDG has weak estrogenic activity. The level of SDG in flaxseed typically varies between 0.6% and 1.8%.
Lignans are one of the two major classes of phytoestrogens; The other class is the isoflavones. Plant
lignans are polyphenolic substances derived from phenylalanine via dimerization of substituted cinnamic
alcohols. Mammalian lignans are lignans derived from plant lignans. For example, following ingestion,
SDG is converted to the aglycone secoisolariciresinol, which is then metabolized to the mammalian
lignans enterolactone and enterodiol. Most of the effects of oral SDG are mediated by enterolactone and
enterodiol.
