Anutra's Anutra Ground 16oz

Description: **
The best ingredient for health! The super grain is easily added to the daily diet either by eating Anutra by itself or by using it as a vital ingredient in many traditional and specialty foods. Consider the following nutritional benefits of Anutra based on clinical studies. Your best source for Omega-3's Anutra's greatest value as a super grain lies in its extremely high content of Omega-3 fatty acids. Since the 1970's, researchers have been noting the importance of Omega-3's as a dietary factor in achieving optimum health. Rich in Lignans Anutra is a rich source of important Lignans. Only 2 tablespoons of Anutra provides 1,275 mg of Lignans. By comparison, the same serving size of Flax contains approximately 50 mg of Lignans. Protein Quality The amino acid protein profile of Anutra yields a 91% protein quality versus a 60% protein quality for Flax (both based on limiting value, Lysine). Neutral Flavoring While Flax has a strong, dominating flavor, Anutra has a neutral flavor and hydrophilic structure which lends itself to limitless recipe applications. No Cyanogens Flax contains a substance called cyanogens, which is converted in the body into another chemical called Thiocyanate (SCN). High blood concentrations of SCN for prolonged periods of time may have adverse affects on the thyroid gland reducing its iodine intake. Anutra contains no cyanogens. High in Antioxidants Due to Anutra's rich antioxidant and vitamin content, oxidation is minimal or non-existent. Flax exhibits rapid decomposition due to its minimal antioxidant and vitamin content. Anutra requires no refrigeration. Flax requires refrigeration. Fat Replacement/Energy supplement Anutra absorbs more than 18 times its weight in water and, therefore, aids in both body hydration and fat replacement. Flax absorbs only 6 times its weight in water and is not as effective. By replacing fat and calories, Anutra allows for greater energy and endurance, improves hydration and electrolyte balance, improves digestion, regulates blood sugar and acts a food extender. Digestive Enzymes Anutra's unique soluble fiber forms a gel in the stomach that creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down. This process slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. Flax does not offer this gel-forming property. Protection against high blood pressure & heart disease Many of the health benefits of Anutra's nutrient dense properties have been validated through extensive studies conducted at the University of Toronto. In an acute study, after-meal blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were reduced thereby improving insulin sensitivity. In a long-term trial, blood pressure was reduced. High blood pressure is the major cardiovascular risk factor in those with Type 2 Diabetes. Anutra's nutrient dense properties proved effective in reducing risk factors of heart disease such as body inflammation and coagulation factors ("aspirin-like" effects). These clinical results indicate the great potential of Anutra as a functional food useful in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
