Growth in flax consumption
Acatris recently presented information regarding the growth of dietary supplements containing standardized flax lignan ingredients and the increased health benefits being associated with flax lignan consumption. The presentation was part of the Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals web-based seminar “Focus on Flax Lignans and the EFA Category.” According to presenter Kelley C. Fitzpatrick, Flax Canada, growth in the specialty supplement category, including flax lignan products was up 8.1 percent overall in 2004 vs. 2003. Specialty supplements increased to more than $2.9 billion in annual sales in 2004, and while results from 2005 have not yet been calculated, continued growth is expected.
“SDG, the main flax lignan has been part of the human diet for centuries. It’s bioavailability and health benefits are well documented,” said Jocelyn Mathern, R.D. and technical specialist for Acatris Inc. “The number of products including standardized flax lignans and targeting specific health benefits have seen tremendous growth in the last four to five years, including products focusing on women’s health, prostate health and breast health.
