ABSTRACT The current review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of Bioactive compounds and pharmacological uses, of Linum usitatissimum, and to list its significant therapeutic benefits. From various studies, researchers specified the pharmacological properties of flaxseed. The phytoconstituents like lignan and α linolenic acid are the richest of flaxseeds. It is also a chief sourc e for soluble fiber, high-quality protein, and antioxidants. Its long trip from old era to the 21 st century from being a medication in old age opened the way for a broad populace. Linolenic acid, linoleic acid, lignans, polysaccharides cyclic peptides, alkaloids, cadmium and cyanogenic glycosides were some of the biologically active chemicals and elements. Flaxseed extracts containing lignan or β linolenic acid were often the focus of biological and clinical research. Some beneficial outcomes for health include decreasing cardiovascular illnesses, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer and arthritis, osteoporosis, and autoimmune illnesses, as well as neuroscience. Some Proteins present in flaxseed helps in prevention and cure for cardiovascular disease and reinforce the immune system. This present review focuses briefly on a pharmacological properties and laboratory outcomes of flaxseed diet. Keywords: Linum usitatissimum, α-linolenic acid, soluble fiber, high-quality protein, antioxidants, lignans, Linolenic acid, cyclic peptides, alkaloids, polysaccharides, cadmium, cyanogenic glycosides, cardiovascular illnesses, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer and arthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune illnesses.

The Scientific name, Linum usitatissimum for flaxseed belongs to Latin origin, which indicates "extremely beneficial." Flax was firstly presented to the United States by colonists, who used to design clothes with this fiber. Commercially, most of the components of the flaxseed plant are utilized, either directly or after processing. The stem part of plant produces high-value fibers with excellent strength and sturdiness. Until the 1990s, flax was mostly used to make textiles and paper, though oil of flax seed and its by products are utilized for feeding animals. There is a little distinction between the words linseed and flaxseed. Flaxseed is the one used to call flaxseed whenever people consuming as food, whereas linseed is the one used to call when it is used in industry or for feedstuff. All of these possible health advantages associated with certain of its biologically active constituents, flaxseed has been the subject of considerable study in the area of food and disease research during the last two decades.
