Medicinal Nutritionals
At Matter of Flax, LLC we believe the medicine of the future will be focused on functional medicinal
nutrition for the prevention of illnesses and degenerative diseases. When the body is given the opportunity to heal itself,
it will use the raw materials found in functional foods to do the healing work. Nutrient rich raw foods may provide protection
against free radicals (oxidative stress) via whole food antioxidants while improving digestion and assimilation of beneficial
enzymes and natural probiotics.
All of our products contain the highest quality organic ingredients. Our sprouted
flax, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds provide numerous health benefits such as: Omega 3 & 6 Essential Fatty Acids, a rich
source of minerals, proteins, essential amino acids and lignans. The vegetables and herbs are picked at their peak of readiness,
giving each product fully bio-available nutrition and a delicious flavor. Our goal is to simply support the body’s ability
to heal through superior nutrition.
We have four combinations of functional medicinal nutritionals with our
