ABSTRACT
Flax is the common name for a herb of the Linaceae Family. Clinical and large-scale population studies show that flax improves laxation, lowers blood cholesterol, aids in blood glucose control, and blocks inflammation. Because it has an anti-inflammatory effect [30,31,32] eating flax regularly may help prevent and treat chronic diseases in which inflammation plays a role – chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, the metabolic syndrome, and Alzheimer disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of various phytochemicals from the aqueous extract of Flax seed (Linum usitatissimum) seeds.
