Lignans are a kind of plant polyphenol called phytoestrogen. The best sources of lignans are Flax Seed Hulls and Sesame Seed, with Flax Seed Hulls containing about 10 times as much lignans as Sesame Seed. These phytonutrients are converted to human lignans by bacterial action in the gut, called enterolactone and enterodiol. The main lignan in Flax Seed Hulls is Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside or SDG.

Have seen a difference in menopausal symptoms since taking this product09/12/2015, By LindaI have bought and used this for four months and don see any change in the areas it is supposed to be working on. I am not sure but I keep buying it. Hopefully it will help sometime...25/06/2015, By KajalI purchased this product after reading that this can block the xenestrogens in your body. I can already see the improvement in the hormonal acne subsiding on my chin and jawline on the right side of my face :-) this sure beats trying to consume 4 tablesoons of flax seed daily. Will buy again15/04/2015, By M. PalomaI am into my 2nd month with these and have seen no significant change but believe one must give it 2 - 3 months, so will persevere. It can only do good.
