Golden (Yellow) Flax is popular in many countries. It is a specially cultivated plant, high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3, Omega-6), proteins, polysaccharides, phytoestrogens, soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, vitamins (A, B, E, F), minerals (calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron, copper, chromium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium).
Golden (Yellow) flax has higher nutritional value than the brown flax, and it is more difficult to cultivate. Golden flax has a slightly different taste in comparison with the brown. Therefore, consumers all over the world prefer Golden flax.
The outer layer of a flax seed contains phytohormones, which are structurally similar to the female hormones, - estrogens, so it is an ideal product for women.
Phytohormones help in slowing down of aging processes, prevent developmental outcomes, improve the well-being of women during menopause, reduce the manifestation of hormonal imbalance, and improve lactation in nursing mothers. One will notice a positive result within several days after taking Golden flax seed. Hormone-like activity of lignans has an essential effect for improving of women's appearance. By interacting with estrogen receptors in the layers of the skin, they make it elastic, springy, and activate the processes of cell restoration.
Fiber and gluten (mucilage) of Golden flax seed is good to reducing the absorption of toxins and general cleansing of the body.
Golden (Yellow) flax seed is ideal for "unloading days", normalizing the microflora and motility of the intestines, which helps to reduce excess weight and cleanse the body. In order to do it, just take 2-3 teaspoons of seed per day, wash down with a glass of water or juice.
Yellow flax goes well with oatmeal, honey, soft cheese, kefir, yogurt etc. It is a good, delicious, and at the same time, healthy dish for breakfast. The mucilaginous part of a Flax seed binds to water, causing it to swell and hence increasing the bulk of the stool. It promotes healthy digestion.

Suggested use:

Scientific Data on the Action of Components
- Physiological effect of lignans on the epidermis: Scientific studies prove that white flax is a leader in secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (lignan) content. These compounds have pronounced antioxidant and estrogen-like effects, protecting skin lipids from peroxidation, which clinically manifests as improved hydration and elasticity of the skin in women.

- Sorption properties of plant mucilage: According to gastrointestinal physiology studies, water-soluble polysaccharides (mucilage) from flax seeds create a protective gel layer on the mucous membrane. This gel slows down the absorption of simple carbohydrates and cholesterol and also sorbs endogenous toxins in the intestinal lumen. Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology.
