    Can Flaxseed cure Hormonal Imbalance?

    Flaxseed oil benefits for females extend to the female hormones and thus, to breast cancer as well. Flaxseed oil contains lignan which acts as estrogen in the body but is less effective and binds to estrogen receptors thus reducing the binding of natural estrogen and its severity. This benefit thus reduces tumor growth and proliferation in breast and prostate cancer.

    Components of flaxseed, including lignans, reduce the natural estrogen production and thus benefit from reducing the risk, or disease severity in breast cancer, limiting the tumor growth and expansion.

Diabetes in post-menopausal women increases the risks of developing bone degenerative diseases in females thus flaxseed oil indirectly aids in preventing osteoporosis.
