Chia is the purest whole food source of pure Omega3. Due to its high fiber content (more than 35%) Chia seeds have the remarkable ability to absorb ten times their weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration.
The fibers in Chia form a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste.
Chia is especially rich in essential fatty acids. 15gm serving provides more than 3 gm of Omega3 and 1 gm of Omega6 in a perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio. Several studies indicate a 3:1 ratio to be ideal.
