The Mission
The mission of this page is to compile all the relevant scientific research material that is available in the public domain about Chia Seed (salvia Hispanica l), Chia History and scientific Chia Research.It is reported that scientists have been investigating Chia since the 1990s and have found the grain surprisingly nutritious. Of keenest interest at present, is Chia Seeds abundance of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies have shown promote a wide range of cardiovascular and mental health benefits.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. Chia Seeds and oil naturally contain more than 60% Omega-3 fatty acid per 100 grams; this is the highest percentage of Omega-3 of any commercially available source. Compare to Flax 54.6, Hemp 19.9 and Evening Primrose 0.4.
If scientist have been studying Chia Seed for 18 years, (since 1990), where are these studies and what were the results?
I enlist your help in posting to this site. Highest priority is given to post that include references, which are from credible scientific organizations, medical institutes and universities
