Product Description
Chia (pronounced chee'ah), is the richest and only unprocessed, whole food source of pure Omega3. A member of the mint family, Chia is native to Central America and has been used traditionally for over 3000 years. Ancient Aztec warriors prized Chia as an endurance promoting Superfood, eating it in bread just before battle, and drinking it in water before running long distances on foot. Mixed in lemonade or fruit juice (known as chia fresca) Omega3 Chia seed quickly becomes a refreshing, performance-enhancing energy drink.
Due to it's high fiber content (more than 35%) Chia seed has the remarkable ability to absorb ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. Omega3 Chia's fiber forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste.
Omega3 Chia is especially rich in essential fatty acids. One 15gm serving provides more than 3gm of Omega3 (as alpha-linolenic acid) and 1gm of Omega6 (linoleic acid) in a perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio, making it the richest, unprocessed and fully-digestible whole food source of Omega3. One bottles contains 30 servings (454g).
Because they are loaded with high-ORAC antioxidants like quercetin, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, Omega3 Chia seeds maintain a 99% sprout rate and have a shelf life of up to five years. Furthermore, Chia seeds are rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc; many trace minerals and biologically complete protein, making them the perfect survival food. Omega3 Chia is organically-grown, certified kosher and is pesticide, herbicide, gluten and GMO-free.
Omega3 Chia's health benefits are the subject of an intense study currently being conducted by the Nutritional Science Research Institute, in cooperation with Dr. David Neiman of Appalachian State University. NSRI's randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial, due to be published in the Summer of 2007, is exploring Omega3 Chia's sugar stabilizing, weight control properties and the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA in healthy, non-diabetic subjects.

| Ingredients | 100% Chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.). |
| Suggested Use | Simply mix one scoop (15g) of Omega3 Chia seed with 8 oz. of lemonade, thin juice or your favorite beverage. In a Greens Plus shaker cup or resealable bottle, shake periodically for a few minutes until the Chia seed becomes evenly suspended, then sip for a refreshing, performance-enhancing energy drink. The unique texture of mixed Chia seed is a feature of its high fiber content and water binding capacity. For maximum benefit, drink at least 64 oz. or pure water every day. Omega3 Chia seed can be added to many foods, including cereal, soup, salad, yogurt, smoothies and baked goods. One tsp. of Chia seed mixed in 2 oz. of water becomes the perfect egg substitute. |
