Melrose Organic Golden Flaxmeal

Increasingly consumers are seeking "functional foods" like flax meal to promote health benefits as part of their regular diets. Melrose Golden Flaxmeal is 100% Organic Flaxseed meal from Australia and is the product left after pressing flaxseeds to get flaxseed oil. It is high in dietary fibre, Omega-3 essential fatty acids and plant lignans.

The high content of fibre in Melrose Golden Flaxmeal is known to support the gentle cleansing of the bowel and may be taken on a daily basis without the worry of dependency. Soluble and insoluble fibre and mucilage aids regular bowel movement without cramping or bloating.

Golden Flaxmeal is a valuable source of Omega-3 fatty acids. We are becoming more aware of the importance of this essential fat in our diets and its role in protecting our bodies against the stresses we encounter daily. Omega-3 is as important as protein, minerals and vitamins and Flaxseeds contain 50% more Omega-3 than fish oil.

Flaxseed is also one of the richest plant sources of lignans, providing up to 800 times more lignans than most other foods in a vegetarian diet. Lignans are phytoestrogens - compounds that have been shown in laboratory studies of animals to help protect against certain kinds of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast and colon, by blocking tumor formation.

Melrose Golden Flaxmeal is available from Good Health food stores and selected supermarkets and online,

Hints and tips

How can I include Melrose Organic Golden Flaxmeal in my diet?

Melrose Organic Flaxmeal can be sprinkled over cereals, fruit and yoghurt or stirred into water or juice. It has a pleasant taste and adds all the fibre of whole grains to foods: 1 Tbsp of milled flax contains as much total dietary fibre as 1 slice of whole wheat bread or '1/4' cup of cooked oat bran. Always ensure Melrose Golden Flaxmeal is taken with adequate fluids.
