A 1,2 – 1,5g intake of Omega-3 is daily recommended to provide good heart health, to improve bad cholesterol, inflammatory disease, depression , attentional deficit and to insure a good balance in your life!

Benefits for Your Health

 

Chia : 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 non-marine whole food source of Omega-3 and dietary fibre currently known to man.

Promotes Cardiovascular Health

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

Assists Joint Function & Mobility

With six times more calcium than milk, and with greater amounts of high-quality protein than the one found in soy, Chia also helps 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 fibre reduces digestive transit time and removes toxins as it passes through the digestive tract.

Supports Healthy Weight Loss

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