Chia Seed

Picture
Chia Seed is the holy seed of the ancient Aztec and Mayan Civilizations. It has very close to a complete nutritional profile - a natural multi vitamin! Chia absorbs 8 times its weight in water, making it a powerful natural appetite suppressant. It contains 18 Amino Acids (8 essential, 10 non-essential) which also makes it a potent anti-inflammatory tool! It also slows carbohydrate absorption which stabilises blood sugar levels making it ideal for diabetics! Not only does it have these amazing beneficial effects to your health and wellbeing, it is loaded with virtually every nutrient and vitamin your body needs!

Take 1 - 2 tablespoons a day! 

Chia stands far above natures other 'superfoods', both in nutritional content and versatility!

Eight times the Omega-3 fatty acids than salmon
Six times the fibre of oat bran

Three times more iron than spinach
Fifteen times the magnesium of broccoli
Four times the antioxidant value of blueberries
Seven times more Vitamin C than Oranges
Five times the calcium of Milk
