Lignans, also known as lignans, are polyphenols and phytoestrogens that constitute fiber composites. Rye has a high content of lignans, and contains both secoisolariciresinol and Wutai resinol, which is an important difference from ordinary wheat, because although ordinary wheat also contains a certain amount of lignans, its component is only secoisolariciresinol. A large number of studies have confirmed that secoisolariciresinol and Wutai resinol can be converted into enterolactone and enterodiol in human body, which can play a good role in preventing and treating cancer, especially for prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer.

ferulic acid

Ferulic acid has a strong antioxidant activity, because it has a strong scavenging effect on hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite, on the other hand, it can inhibit the enzymes that produce free radicals and promote the production of antioxidant enzymes. At the same time, ferulic acid can also protect cells in vivo from oxidative damage caused by peroxides, especially hydroxyl radicals and nitric oxide.
