Scientific Research

This serious medical condition exists as women age and their bone density changes. Falls can be fatal as their bones become brittle and do not heal easily.

Studies are offering some hope for women, as dietary lignans are shown to improve bone density. One recent study was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Research (2024). In the paper:

Exploring flaxseed’s potential in enhancing bone health: Unveiling osteo-protective properties ¹

By researchers Itrat Batool a, Ammar B. Altemimi, Seemal Munir, Shifa Imran, Naymal Khalid, Muhammad Asif Khan, Gholamreza Abdi, Muhammad Saeeduddin, Muhammad Abid, Rana Muhammad Aadil

revealed that dietary lignans in combination with linolenic acid improve bone density. The researchers stated that exercise and a balanced diet along with lignans are important in lowering the impact of osteoporosis.

This supports the 2013 paper published in the Journal of American College of Nutrition in the paper:

Pharmacokinetics and Bioavailability of Plant Lignan 7-Hydroxymatairesinol and Effects on Serum Enterolactone and Clinical Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women: A Single-Blinded, Parallel, Dose-Comparison Study ²

By Jay K. Udani, MD, Donald J. Brown, ND, Maria Olivia C. Tan, MS, and Mary Hardy, MD

indicated that bone mineral density improved with 7-hydroxymatairesinol in the diet, along with the balancing of hormones in menopausal women.

While osteoporosis is a major issue, the impact may be mitigated through exercise and adding lignans to the diet.
