Question 1

could you tell me if flaxseeds increase or decrease estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Flaxseeds: Although Lilian Thompson, PhD, an internationally known flaxseed researcher from the University of Toronto, says she wouldn’t call any of the health benefits of flax "conclusively established."  Some studies have suggested that exposure to lignans during adolescence helps reduce the risk of breast cancer and may also increase the survival of breast cancer patients -- but this is as yet unproven.

Question 3

can i take flaxseed capsules while taking estrogen pill.thanks!?

Question 5

can i take flaxseed oil before my hormone test too check for low estrogen? or should i not take it and how long should i stop taking it before test?

Accepted Answer

: Flaxseed consumption in women either had no impact, or caused a decrease in blood levels of estrogen. Additionally, one trial showed that 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily reduced levels in the women who were overweight, but did not significantly decrease estrogen levels in normal weight postmenopausal women. Base on these facts, you should stop flaxseed for at least 3 days before the test.
