Chia seeds offer a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber. They improve digestion, help to reduce appetite, lower the risk of heart disease, and improve brain function.

It is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, and E, B-complex vitamins, and the minerals copper, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. These qualities make it effective in maintaining the integrity of the skin and visual sight as well as protecting against cancer.
