Seedcare Flax Seeds Raw | Brown Alsi Linseed | Omega-3 Hormone Balance

Flax Seeds (Alsi / Linseed) — India's Most Affordable Superfood

Known as alsi in Hindi, flax seeds have been cultivated in India for over 5,000 years. They are the most affordable plant source of omega-3 fatty acids in the Indian market — significantly cheaper than fish oil supplements.

Nutritional Profile (per 100g)

6 Evidence-Based Benefits

1. Heart Health — Confirmed by 45+ Studies Flax seeds reduce LDL cholesterol by 10-15%, lower blood pressure by 7-10 mmHg and reduce C-reactive protein (inflammation) by 15%. The American Heart Association recommends flax for cardiovascular protection.

2. Women's Hormonal Balance Flax seeds contain 800mg of lignans per 100g — the world's richest dietary lignan source. These phytoestrogens:

• Reduce PMS symptoms and cramps
• Ease menopausal hot flashes
• Regulate irregular menstrual cycles
• Reduce breast cancer risk by up to 33% (Harvard study)

3. Cancer Prevention Lignans are among the most powerful anti-cancer compounds in food. Research shows inhibition of breast, prostate and colon cancer tumour growth.

4. Energy and Thyroid Health Richest source of B1 (thiamine) for ATP energy production. Rich in selenium for thyroid hormone conversion (T4 to T3).

5. Digestive Health Mucilage (soluble fibre) coats and soothes the intestinal lining, reducing IBS and leaky gut inflammation.

6. Hair and Skin Omega-3s and lignans reduce scalp inflammation, improve hair texture and reduce dryness within 12 weeks of daily use.

IMPORTANT: Always Grind Before Eating

Whole flax seeds pass through the digestive system intact and unabsorbed. You must grind them:

1. Use a dry grinder or coffee grinder
2. Grind only what you need for 7 days
3. Store in sealed container in the refrigerator
4. Use within 7 days (omega-3 oxidises after grinding)
