ARAI praises benefits of Flax Hulls for AIDS

8 December 2008

The AIDS Research Assistance Institute, a US non-profit organization, has found positive benefits in African people with AIDS/HIV taking the food supplement concentrated Flax Hull Lignans.

The ARAI says that it has witnessed a 92% success rate in HIV-infected people adding 1.5 tea-spoons of FHL to their daily diet, with around 35% of subjects seeing viral loads drop to non-detectable within the first six weeks. Malnourished children have also shown height and weight increases on the supplement. Many children have grown between 6cm and 11cm in a three-month period, according to the organization.
