		Lignans Linked to Healthier, Thinner Women: Study - Women with increased intake of lignans, and subsequently levels of metabolites in the blood, tend to have lower BMIs and total body fat mass, says a new study from Canada. A study of 115 post-menopausal women showed that those with the highest blood levels of enterolactone, a lignan metabolite, had a BMI 4 kg/m2 less than women with the lowest average blood levels, according to results published online ahead of print in the British Journal of Nutrition. Moreover, the highest blood levels of enterolactone were also associated with 8.5 kg less body fat, compared to women with the lowest levels, report researchers from Laval University in Quebec.

		Results are in - HMRlignan Shown to Reduce Hot Flashes by More Than 50% A recently completed U.S.clinical study of HMRlignan™ and hot flashes has shown significant alleviation for women by cutting incidence of hot flashes by 53 percent in menopausal women. The pilot study, led by Jay Udani, M.D. and Mary Hardy, M.D. from Medicus Research in Northridge, CA, analyzed changes in enterolactone levels and estrogen metabolites following ingestion of the plant lignan hydroxymatairesinol (HMR) and found significant improvement in reported hot flashes by the study participants.
