 Every cell membrane in the body contains
fatty acids and Essential Fatty Acids are
the necessary fats that help support many
bodily functions. Unfortunately some of
these "good fats" are not produced by a body
on its own and must be provided by
supplementing the diet. This is why it's
important to choose a supplement that is not
only rich in essential fatty acid content,
but also safe.
It is important to note that "organic
certification" of the chia seed is not
needed because insects naturally do not like
the chia seed and this negates any need for
the use of pesticides.

The
Chia Seed is the richest known plant
source of Omega 3's, but beyond this, the seed
is an excellent source of fiber and is
packed with antioxidants that fight body
destroying free radicals present in the
everyday environment. When you consider that
the seed is also loaded with vitamins and
minerals including calcium phosphorus,
magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin and
zinc- you'll come to realize why it has
captured superfood and superstar status
throughout the world! |

The word chia is derived
from the Aztec word chian,
which means "oily." and has been
documented to have been used as
a food source as far back as
2600 B.C and was once so prized
by the Aztec Indians that they
used it for currency while also
using it to sustain themselves
for long periods of time.
The versatility of this tiny seed combined
with its readily organic availability
ensures that all can benefit from it. Whether the power
of the Chia Seed is being harnessed for the
benefit of pets or people, one can expect
healthier skin or coat, a healthy heart,
healthy joints, healthy weight and much much
more! |
