Chia seed helps build muscles and other tissues and is known to aid in human digestion. One of the best properties of vegan chia seed is that it contains a high amount of oil. Chia seed contains up to three to ten times the omega-3 content of most normal grains and contains at least twice the content of protein in most grains. Omega-3 oil, along with other essential fatty acids, help absorb fat soluble vitamins, including vitamin a, d, e and k. Vegan chia seed oil is also found to be an excellent source of linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid the body can’t manufacture on its own. These essential fatty acids aid in the maintenance and lubrication of all the body’s cells and are able to combine with cholesterol and proteins to form the membranes that make up the structure of our cells.* chia seed oil and the omega-3 fatty acids found within it are helpful to maintain our glandular activity, especially the activity of the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands. They supply nutrition to the skin cells and are important in the maintenance of healthy mucus membranes. These unsaturated fatty acids cooperate with vitamin d in allowing calcium to become available to the body, helping phosphorus as well, and promoting the conversion of carotene into vitamin a. Fatty acids help to achieve the normal function of the reproductive system as well.* the u.s.
