How do NSI® Chia Seeds work?
Chia seeds are one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), particularly alpha-linolenic acid. Omega-3 EFAs are polyunsaturated "good" fats. They're classified as "essential" because though the body needs them for complete health, it cannot produce them on its own - therefore, they must be acquired through diet or supplementation.
NSI® Chia Seeds deliver 3,750 mg of omega-3 EFAs per serving. Omega-3 EFAs support cardiovascular wellness by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They also contribute to cognitive, vision and neurological health, and may promote favorable mood. Omega-3 EFAs can be converted into substances that help relieve inflammation (prostaglandins and leukotrines) and as a result, may promote joint flexibility, mobility and comfort.
Chia seeds are also abundant in antioxidants, natural compounds that help protect the body from the effects of free radicals, unstable molecules that attack cells. Chia seeds further promote cellular health by keeping cells nourished and hydrated.
Rich in protein and dietary fiber, chia seeds support healthy weight management by helping you feel less hungry and more satisfied throughout the day. Protein also helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, and works to sustain energy levels. Chia seeds contain B vitamins, vitamins C and E, as well as minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, boron and iron - important nutrients that contribute to overall health, strength and vitality.
NSI® Chia Seeds are better because they:
- Deliver 3,750 mg of omega-3 EFAs in each convenient single-scope serving.
- Also include 1,050 mg of omega-6 EFAs, which work synergistically with the omega-3s to support healthy cardiovascular, vascular and nervous systems
- Provide exceptional quality at extraordinary value
