ChiaFactors

Feature Summary

With today's hectic lifestyles and high demands, eating nutrition-rich, natural whole foods can be a challenge. Naturally delicious and nutritious chia seeds supply whole food nutrition to anyone's diet. Chia is known as a super food and is one of nature's most perfect food. Chia seeds contain highly concentrated amounts of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, a vegetarian source of protein, dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Chia seeds supply all of the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities for growth, and for building and maintaining skin, muscles, brain and hair. Protein is also needed to make enzymes, hormones and antibodies.

Chia seeds are high in fibre, containing 40% or more dietary fibre. Just 2 tablespoons of ChiaFactors provides approximately 10 g of fibre, equivalent to 40% of the minimum amount recognized for good health. A diet rich in fibre will help to curb your appetite, balance blood glucose levels, prevent constipation, improve gastrointestinal health and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease.
