Natural Nutrition Source - Forti-Flax: All the benefits of fiber plus a comprehensive profile of organic-source vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, Omega-3 fatty acids and Lignan.  Ancient Grain - Modern Nutrition
The first recorded uses of flax come from Southern Mesopotamia where flax was grown as long ago as 5,000 B.C. Flaxseed was once a staple food source utilized by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. By the 8th century, the Roman emperor Charlemagne ruled that every citizen of the Roman empire had to consume flaxseed daily to maintain health. In our modern world many of the nutritional powerhouses abundant in flax are all but devoid in today's diet due to heavy refinement of foods and nutrient deplete top-soil. Many of these nutrients have been established as dietary essential meaning that we must ingest them directly in foods or in food supplements. We live in a world of caloric rich and nutritionally lacking foods. The result is diseases that are not genetic in origin, but the direct result of poor dietary and lifestyle choices. Nutritional Superstar Forti-Flax features the tremendous nutritional power of flaxseeds. Locked within the cell matrix of flaxseeds exists a cornucopia of nutritional superstars. Barlean's Organic Oils proprietary milling process delicately liberates naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, lignans, and phytonutrients without damaging delicate Omega-3 fatty acids. Concurrently the surface area of both soluble and insoluble fibers is greatly increased for maximum benefit. The National Cancer Institute has evaluated flaxseed as a component of designer foods. Designer foods are composed of one or more ingredients that contribute essential nutrients for health and protect against specific diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease.  Natural Nutrition Source
In a world where synthetic vitamins and related supplements predominate, Forti-Flax provides a comprehensive profile of natural, organic-source vitamins, major and trace minerals and amino-acids. Nutritional science has proven that nutrients derived from natural sources and in appropriate proportion are more readily absorbed, metabolized and utilized by the body. In addition, Forti-Flax is an extremely rich source of Omega-3, dietary fiber, protein, mucilage and phenolic compounds. The viscous nature of soluble fibers such as flaxseed mucilage is believed to slow down digestion and absorption of starch, resulting in lower levels of blood glucose, insulin and other endocrine responses. In one study, blood glucose response was 27 to 28% less for breakfast meals that included flax bread. Flaxseed consumption (50 g/day for 4 wk) by young healthy adults and by the elderly has been shown to increase the number of bowel movements per week by about 30%. Forti-Flax is a fantastic and convenient addition to a healthful diet when sprinkled on yogurt or cereal, added to your favorite recipe or stirred into juice or water. Just 2 Tbs a day is the recommended daily usage. Re-fortify your food and body today with Forti-Flax!
