Study was conducted in hypertensive patients

to determine the effects of flaxseed supplementation on

body mass index (BMI),

blood pressure,

and total cholesterol levels in patients with hypertension.

Methods

Fully blind study, 12 weeks

age range of 35 to 70 years,

Randomized to 3 groups receiving

10 g (n = 45)

30 g (n = 45) of flaxseed supplementation

Placebo (wheat) (n = 45)

12 weeks

Checked for other variables such as diet and physical activity

Results

For the 30-g group

Mean systolic BP started at 148.38

Over the 12 weeks it decreased by an average of 13.38 mmHg

Ended up at an average of 135.00

(p = 0.001)

(compared to a 1.72 unit increase in the placebo group, wheat)

Still in the 30g group,

30 g group DBP started at 86.20

Over the 12 weeks it decreased by an average of 5.6 mmHg

Down to an average of 80.6 mmHg

(p = 0.001)

(compared to a 2.39 unit increase in the placebo group)

For the 10g group

SBP reduced by 9.86 mmHg

DBP reduction in 10g group, 6.69

BMI For the 30 g group

BMI decreased by 0.86 units

(compared to reduction of 0.06 units in the placebo group)

The mean BMI decreased from 29.19 to 28.33

BMI value (p less than 0.001).

Total cholesterol

30 g group, decreased by 20.4 units

(compared to 11.86 units in the placebo group)

Mean total cholesterol decreased from 210.73 to 190.33

(p = 0.032)

Mechanisms

Flaxseed is rich in good fats, antioxidants, and fiber

(Lignan content, which is a powerful antioxidant)

Improves plasma lipid profile, plasma trans-fatty acid concentrations, atherogenicity, glycemia, and pro-inflammatory compounds

Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3
fatty acids and ALA, (alpha-linolenic acid, the oil that forms 41% of the total weight of a seed)
