Forti-Flax - 16 ounces

For anyone who desires a potent and all-natural source of fiber, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, tocopherols, amino acids and phytochemicals. As part of a healthful diet, this product may help promote reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, allergies and at least 40 other diseases and illness.

•Forti-Flax provides a comprehensive profile of natural, organic-source vitamins, major and trace minerals and amino-acids. While many of these nutrients are provided in flax in seemingly small quantities, nutritional science has proven that nutrients derived from natural sources and in appropriate proportion are more readily absorbed, metabolized and utilized by the body.

•Forti-Flax is an extremely rich source of Omega-3, dietary fiber, protein, mucilage and phenolic compounds. These are possible factors in reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, allergies and at least 40 other diseases and illnesses.

•Phytochemicals identified as lignans in flax may interfere with the development of breast, prostate, colon and other tumors in humans.

•The viscous nature of soluble fibers such as flaxseed mucilage is believed to slow down digestion and absorption of starch, resulting in lower levels of blood glucose, insulin and other endocrine responses. In one study, glucose response was 27 to 28% less for breakfast meals that included flax bread.

•Flaxseed consumption (50 grams per day for 4 weeks) by young healthy adults and by the elderly has been shown to increase the number of bowel movements per week by about 30%.
