Flaxseed Oil

Fact:
The oil of the flax plant is one of nature’s richest plant sources of the Omega 3 essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA) plus valuable linoleic fatty acid. Flax seed oil also contains lignans that contain powerful properties. These little seeds improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation, and enhance cardiovascular health.

The Components of Flaxseed Oil
Protein: There’s about 25g of protein for every 100g of flax seeds. The protein in flax seeds is easily digested and contains a complete amino acid profile that your body needs.
Lignans: Lignans have anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties, and Flax seed has 75 to 800 percent more lignans than other vegetables and grains.
Essential Fatty Acids: Flax seed oil is a rich source of 3 essential fatty acids: alpha linolenic acid, omega 3 essential fatty acid, and omega 6 essential fatty acid.

Research has shown that majority of diets are deficient in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. This can lead to a variety of serious health problems including:
Coronary Heart Disease - Flaxseed oil helps reduce cholesterol levels, blood pressure, plaque formation, and helps strengthen the heart.
Arthritis - Studies have found that flaxseed oil can help reduce pain and inflammation causing less of a need for prescription drugs.
Cancer - Omega 3 oils (such as those in flaxseed oil) have been found to kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.
Skin Problems - Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders have been shown to be related to Omega 3 deficiency.

Flaxseed Oil and Blood Pressure:
In a 12-week long study of 59 men with high blood pressure, those taking 8 grams of flaxseed oil per day saw significant reductions in blood pressure compared to men who took safflower oil.

Flaxseed Oil and The Prostate:
 A study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low-fat diet along with ground flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth rate of cancer cells, and increased the death rate of cancer cells.
A small study of 15 men found that a low-fat diet along with flaxseed lowered their blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and slowed the growth of benign prostate cells, suggesting that it might be useful in reducing risk of prostate cancer.

Flaxseed Oil and Dry Eyes:
 One study compared oral flaxseed oil capsules (3,000 mg daily or three capsules a day) with the antibiotic doxycycline (100 mg twice a day) for the treatment of dry eye in patients who had undergone LASIK eye surgery. Eighty-one patients (152 eyes) were treated with either 3,000 mg. daily of flaxseed oil or 100 mg twice daily of doxycycline for seven days before and after LASIK surgery. Study results indicated that flaxseed oil was just as effective as doxycycline in preventing dry eye after LASIK. An added benefit is that flaxseed oil has fewer side effects than doxycycline, making it a great alternative.

Flaxseed Oil and Digestion
Flax seeds contain 12% mucilage, which makes it a gentle, natural laxative. Flax seeds are perfect for individuals who have a sensitive stomach. Flax seed oil acts as a buffer for excess stomach acids and soothes ulcers and irritable bowel disorders. It also helps lubricate the digestive tract, absorbs toxins, and helps prevent toxic buildup in the bowl.

B-Complex

Want to be naturally beautiful? B-Complex is essential for clear, luminous skin, soft and shiny hair, youthful looks, and for delaying hair graying. B-vitamins ALSO counteract stress & anxiety! Skin trouble? Studies show that 40% of dermatitis sufferers lack B-vitamins. Since they play such a major role in activities throughout the entire body, many common health problems may simply be a lack of adequate B-vitamin nutrition.


B-Complex Vitamins Are Also Essential For:
• The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, which gives you energy!
• A normal appetite and fewer cravings.
• Optimal liver functioning and blood cell formation.
• The breakdown of fats and proteins, aiding normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Healthy muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract, which promotes healthy digestive
function.


Want to lose weight and stay fit?
B-Complex vitamins are some of the most important vitamins involved in weight regulation, fat utilization, energy production, and proper thyroid function. If you are trying to lose weight, supplementing with B-Complex vitamins may just be that extra push your body needs!


Hope for Health’s B-Complex Contains:

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) - Helps the body produce energy. Has a key role in enzymes that influence
muscles, nerves, and the heart. Promotes a normal, healthy appetite.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - Encourages healthy thyroid function and metabolism. Promotes good
vision and healthy skin.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) - Maintains the health of the skin, nervous system, and digestive
system. Essential for healthy thyroid function and thyroid hormone regulation.
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - Boosts energy levels, normalizes hormone levels, helps the body
to use and metabolize fat rather than store it.
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Promotes healthy skin and mucus membranes; aids in regulating
thyroid hormone; and boosts metabolism.
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin) - Helps release energy from carbohydrates; aids in fat synthesis; and
promotes healthy hormone levels.
• Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) - Has protective qualities against certain cancers; aids in red blood cell
production; and contributes to a balanced metabolism.
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) - Aids in the development of healthy red blood cells. Strengthens and
maintains the nervous system. Helps regulate use of other B-Vitamins. Increases energy levels and
aids in weight loss.
• Choline Bitartrate - Needed for efficient fat metabolism. Choline deficiency leads to fats becoming
trapped in the liver.
• Inositol - Aids choline in the metabolism and utilization of fat. (Helps process it so it is used rather
than stored).
• Para Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) - Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, keeps skin smooth, and
is said to restore graying hair to its original color.


B-Complex and Cancer:
• There is evidence from studies looking at large groups of people showing that increased intake of vitamin B9 (folic acid) is linked to a lower risk of colon cancer, especially in people who are vitamin deficient  especially those who drink excess amounts of alcohol).

• Some of the studies looking at large groups of people have also shown a possible link between intake of vitamin B6 and lower risks of colo-rectal and breast cancers in women.
