Chia Seeds,
July 25, 2008
By
Janie Orsborn
from Texas
For about 6 years I have been taking chia seeds and have found they will lower my BP and help decrease my desire for sweets. My problem is sometimes I forget to eat any.

very versatile!,
July 14, 2008
From New Jersey
this is recommended for energy & endurance; i haven't noticed a huge difference yet but i've only been taking it for a week. however, i discovered something so neat i want to share it--chia is a great vehicle for supplements that don't dissolve well!!! i put 1-2 teaspoons in 1/4-1/3 cup of water, juice or coconut milk, let it sit 15 minutes, and then mix in supplements such as psyllium, dolomite, azomite, or creatine; they get "suspended" in the mucilage and don't sink to the bottom. i used to have to stir, gulp, add more liquid, stir again and then not only would i still get that grit in my mouth (or in the glass), i'd feel like my gut was gonna bust from all the water! it's a little slimy, like egg whites, but i'm getting used to it. it's also great in baking; if you soak the seeds first, the consistency helps bind the ingredients, adds moisture and fluffiness, and looks like poppy seeds! i also mixed some chia with toasted sesame seeds and sea salt for a nice seasoning for rice, salad etc--or just as a little snack!

Ms Ilze Valikovs,

Australia's quarantine regulations make the importation of these seeds difficult. AQIS always stops them for inspection & puts on a $77-80 fee to examine them.I now have to alert DHL when my order is about to arrive & fax them a copy of a certificate I obtained from the head office in Canberra which states that they are an allowed seed.
It is a bit of a deterrant but I am persisting.

Blends well,
June 16, 2008
From California
Interesting to mix in water and drink...kind of gelatinous but does taste clean. Blends well in soup. Will see how it goes after a month of using... not sure if it has changed my energy level but I do feel good since using a scoop a day for about 3 weeks now.

Great product for constipation! Works better than Garden of Life's Super Seed!,
March 09, 2008
From California
Before finding out about chia seeds, I had been using the Garden of Life Super Seed daily for constipation issues. The Garden of Life Super Seed worked fine, but it was SO expensive just for a simple fiber supplement!! I noticed that chia seeds are the main ingredient besides flax in the Super Seed, so I thought why not just try buying plain chia seeds for so much less $$? They actually work better than Super Seed! Plus, I only have to buy one container of chia per month($12.29), compared to two bottles of the Super Seed per month ($34.)
Also, I saw on Oprah the other day that they contain more ORAC ant-aging antioxidants than blueberries!

Great for Getting the Pipes Moving!,

Wonderful, gentle, natural relief for constipation. No upset stomach and works on all family members. Don't like it plain in water, but we add a Tbsp to our smoothy every morning and it works like a charm! Our Doctor recommended it.

Great stuff,
July 16, 2008
From Arizona
This helps my acid reflux a little (it seems to be soothing on the whole GI system), and I also have lost about two pounds in the month or so I've been using it. I think the bulking action fills my stomach and quells the appetite, at least for me. It doesn't have a taste, just an intriguing texture, like grainy gelatin...I don't have any problems drinking it in cold water.

Energy Seed!,
August 05, 2008
From Florida
I really like the chia seeds. I sometimes eat them straight (about 1 tablespoon) to give me that extra boost of energy mid-day or if I don't have time to eat, this is what I'll eat to hold off the hunger. Or, I'll add about 2 tablespoons to a green smoothie to make sure I get in my omegas for the day.
