CHIA CANADA - Omega-3 Diet, Nutrition, Energy:

High in Omega-3 Acids

Super Salvia seeds have higher levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than flax seed. ALA is an essential acid because it is not produced by the body. In fact, Super Salvia seeds have the highest whole-food source levels of Omega-3 acids, as measured by percent of weight.

Rich in Antioxidants

Super Salvia is a great natural source of antioxidants, including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin and flavonols.

Full of Important Nutrients

Super Salvia is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, manganese, potassium, iron, zinc, and copper. Super Salvia contains six times more iron than spinach per serving.

Low in Sodium and Cholesterol-Free

Super Salvia contains less than half the sodium of flax seed, per serving. This is important to those with high blood pressure and concerned about sodium intake. As a plant-based source of Omega-3, Super Salvia is cholesterol-free.

Promotes Hydration

Super Salvia soaks up water and this promotes hydration and electrolytes retention.

Helps in Weight Loss

Super Salvia is very filling. As more Super Salvia is eaten, there's less room for higher caloric foods.

Builds Endurance

The Mayan word for Chia is "strength." Super Salvia builds stamina and endurance because it steadily releases slow-burning glucose into the bloodstream.

Gluten-Free

The protein in Super Salvia seed is gluten free.

Stays Fresh

Unlike flax seed, Super Salvia seed stays fresh for extended periods of time.

Summary:

Scientific evidence strongly supports the use of Super Salvia as being the most efficient source of omega-3 fatty acids which can be used to enrich foods. Adding Super Salvia seeds directly to the final product, or including it in animal diets has not shown any of the problems other omega-3 sources such as flaxseed or marine products have shown such as fishy flavor, animal weight loss, digestive problems, diarrhea, allergies, etc.
