myLot Discussions on Flaxseed Oil| Flaxseed Oil Could Help Reduce Post Menopausal Osteoporosis Risk | | Hi Friends,Adding flaxseed oil to the diet could reduce the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and women with diabetes. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.
For women, bone loss is fastest in the first few years after menopause, and osteoporosis is most common in women after menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis. The presence of so-called "omega-3 fatty acids" in flaxseed oil may play a role in protecting the processes of matrix formation and bone mineralization, which are apparently compromised by diabetes and menopause. It is evaluated how flaxseed oil in the diet might delay the onset of osteoporosis.Even Flaxseed's are excellent source of the omega-3 essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), as well as phytoestrogens known as lignans.

| | Is Your Daily Vitamins Harming Your Body?? | | If you take supplements containing glandular ingredients from animals, including some digestive enzymes, you may need to concern yourselfwith mad cow disease risk. Four years ago, animal imports were banned from countries that reported outbreaks of mad cow disease. However, some industry experts are concerned that supplement companies may still be using banned meat products. The FDA sent letters to supplement manufacturers recommending they use ingredients from
