Nutritional Content and Benefits

Chia : A revolution in Human Nutrition

Chia is an evidence-based registered variety of Salvia hispanica L. Nutritionally superior to flax and soy, Chia is the richest whole food source of Omega 3s and dietary fiber on Earth.

Promotes Cardiovascular Health

According to the American Heart Association, Omega 3 fatty acids can normalize blood pressure and cholesterol levels while helping promote a healthy heart and blood vessels.

Assists Joint Function & Mobility

With six times more calcium than milk, and with greater amounts of higher quality protein than that found in soy, Chia can also help strengthen muscles and bones.

Improves Digestion & Natural Detoxification

Chia can absorb a whopping 12 times its weight in water – flax seed only absorbs 6-8 times its weight. Chia´s insoluble fiber removes toxins as it passes through the digestive tract.

Supports Healthy Weight Loss

Due to Chia´s high fiber content and its ability to reduce blood sugar levels after meals, Chia inhibits appetite making it the perfect food for healthy, effective weight loss. Because Chia is neutral in flavour and color, it integrates seamlessly into any healthy recipe.

(Link Clinical studies, ex Diabetes Care Journal, Vol.30, No.11, proved that Chia lowers major and emerging Cardiovascular Disease risk factors in Type 2 Diabetics)
