Chia seeds are a rich source of protein and omega-3s, the combination of which may help improve metabolic health and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Antioxidants prevent the reproduction of free radicals and reduce their ratio to healthy cells. Chia seeds are high in antioxidants

The seeds also contain phosphorus and magnesium, both of which are necessary to build bones and make the best use of calcium
