Ground flaxseed provides lignans and fibre; lignans are being studied for their interaction with oestrogen metabolism, though findings are still preliminary. Collagen peptides have shown a bone-density benefit in postmenopausal women in a clinical trial, and kefir supports gut health through its live cultures.
