I started taking after i read about the benefits. I take 2 tablespoons in water and drink throughout the day. I have more energy, more clarity, and my appetite is under control. I no longer snack between meals and my portions are smaller. I love chia, and cannot sing enough praises.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and chia helps to reduce the inflammation with the Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid). It is very easy to use and there are many tasty recipes.

I started eating chia as a part of my breakfast. Before, I was getting a blood glucose spike followed by a midmorning crash. Chia helped me even out my blood glucose levels. It is also quite filling, and low calorie.

Fibers are supposed to help reduce cholesterol- tried taking several singly, none had any effect. Started with 1 heaping spoon of milled chia and milled flaxseed, one rounded spoon of pectin and psyllium, one slightly rounded spoon of guar gum. Cholesterol dropped from 234 to 181 in 6 months. DO NOT start taking these amounts all at once, esp the guar gum. You will have severe gas pains and/or diarrhea. Was taking prescribed colestipol which is really nothing more then a fiber. Had zero effect on cholesterol. Taking any of these by themselves had zero effect. I've been trying for years to bring down high cholesterol without statins. This worked. I'm 58 now, and since first measured at age 38, my cholesterol has never been below 210 until now. I also gave up low fat low cholesterol foods as I started this fiber combination. Use real butter, eat eggs more often, etc. I eat what I like.Read More Read Less

one night I tried a raspberry mojito (full of sugar). The next day my glucose count was over 300. So in my morning cup of decaffienated coff I mixed in 3 tsps. of whole chia seed. Stir well because it will start to gel. I did this two more times during the and by 3 pm my glucose level was under 140

Two days ago, I started adding chia seeds to my veggie drink once a day to help in my weight loss, and immediately started feeling sick. I added them again the second day and felt worse. I have decided my body doesn't like them so will stop using them.
