here I'm about to give you all the details of flax seed and what it has...

it has:

fiber- both souble and insouble, and also a special fiber called mucilage which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and its a natural laxative

Lignans- are natural plant chemicals. Flax seed have the richest source of Lignans. Lignans boost the productions of a substance attached to estrogen and casrries it out of the body (so in other words its really good for you)

Vitamins and Minerals- its has zinc, iron, vitamin E, carotene, B-group vitamins, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, silicon, copper, nickel, molybdenum, and cobalt

essential fatty acids- flax seed is one of the best sources for the essential fatty acid alpha linolenic acid, the parent compound of the Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid because it cannot be synthesized be the body. Omega-3 works to fight against the main cholesterol deposits that cause clotting of the blood ( these clottings cause strokes and heart attacks) basically Omega-3 is an "anti-fat" (due to their ability to speed up the metabolic process and aid in fat loss.



so there you go.....hope that helps
