Flaxseed lignans are phytoestrogens that help balance oestrogen โ€” particularly useful in the follicular phase when oestrogen is rising, and for women with oestrogen-dominant conditions (endometriosis, PCOS).

How to track Flaxseed (Ground) accurately

"1 tablespoon ground flaxseed" (10g) is the standard entry. Ground flaxseed and whole flaxseed are nutritionally equivalent, but ground is better absorbed. "Flaxseed oil" is different โ€” it has no lignans or fibre.
