Natural Factors ChiaFactors Whole Food Nutrition 360g

The tiny black and white seeds of the Salvia hispanica plant, known as Chia, pack a BIG nutritional punch. Sometimes called nature’s most perfect food, Chia seeds contain concentrated essential fatty acids, protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals and antioxidants.

Chia is the Mayan word for strength and these seeds were a high-energy food of ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures. ChiaFactors from Natural Factors blends non-GMO and gluten-free black and white chia seeds, certified by Nutritional Science Research Instititute (NSRI) for their high quality.
Chia seeds are cholesterol-free and rich in heart healthy oils – omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a 3:2 ratio – and other fatty acids. These healthy fats keep cell membranes flexible, allow nutrients to flow into the cells, and improve regulatory processes in every cell.

Omega-3s also support the brain, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, and immune health. Chia seeds are a complete source of vegetarian protein, 2 g of easily digestible protein in each tablespoon (1 scoop). Plus, each tablespoon of ChiaFactors provides about 70 mg of calcium, 35 mg of magnesium, 6 mg of vitamin C and 2.9 mg of iron. Getting more fibre is easy with ChiaFactors. Dietary fibre improves GI health, glucose levels and insulin response, cholesterol and triglycerides, high blood pressure, and other heart disease risk factors.
