Hi miabella,
I use whole flax seeds, so that's with the lignans, and it works. But from what I've read in the publications above, the phyto-estrogens in flax and hops and soy decrease each other's effectiveness if used together. So if you plan to use flax seed oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids in large quantities, you need the one without the lignans.
I use 30 g of whole flax seed. Whole flax seed are 20 % oil, so I assume up to 6 g of oil a day is OK, even with the lignans.
