And trying to figure out what SDG is, I came across this - no way I'm
going to remember SDG, but I can cope with the Latin :P
"Flax, whose Latin name means "most useful", is one of the most
ancient of herbs and was highly valued for its medicinal properties.
The essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil have been shown in research
to have health benefits for the heart, skin and hair, cell production
and weight reduction. But hidden within the thin hull surrounding the
flaxseed is a compound that may surpass flax oil – SDG lignan
(secoisolariciresinol diglucoside). Scientifc research has shown that
the flaxseed extract SDG appreciably improves lower urinary tract
symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects and reduces
hypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis."
