Customer Reviews of Spectrum Chia Seed Omega-3 And Fiber -- 12 oz
Customer Review: Noticing Benefits
Summary: 5 Stars
A coworker was selling Mila, multi-level-marketing chia seeds, and had the office hooked. I asked my coworkers about it, and heard: "I wake up easier. I'm more awake when I get up." "I have more energy." "I don't snack as much during the day." and my favorite, "I don't get bad hangovers."
I wasn't about to spend $70 for a bag of Mila chia seeds, so I got the $8 Spectrum brand instead. The first nite, I stirred a spoonful into a glass of water, and waited. It had a clear baby-snot consistency that I found gross. I drank it anyway. The next morning, I sprinkled a spoonful in a packet of instant organic oatmeal. Knowing that the seeds absorb a lot of water, (and knowing I'm not much of a water drinker and need to sneak it into my diet whenever I can) I added extra water. It thickened nicely, and blended right in. I think it added body to the oatmeal, and it was fine.
To my surprise, it took me a long time to eat the oatmeal. I was also full for a long time. Usually, breakfast kick starts my appetite. Once I start eating, it's ON. A couple of hours later, when I normally be starving for my 11a.m. snack, I wasn't hungry.
Later, I was in a crowd in a not-so-good-area with a bunch of people around me. I am usually slightly anxious under such circumstances, and I noticed that I felt fine, totally normal.
I found that odd, so I went online to see if chia had anything to do with it. Apparently, people with depression/anxiety have low levels of some kind of good fat in thier brains that chia seeds have. I think it helped me keep my cool in a normally uncomfortable situation for me. Better than chammomile tea. Day 2, same thing. I normally crave chocolate, and the cravings weren't there. I actually wanted healthier foods. After dinner, for dessert, I wanted and ate a tomato. That's a far cry from my usual craving of chocolate frozen yogurt.
It's only been 2 days, but my behavior and cravings changed noticably. That's why I'm writing about it. I intend to keep it up. I also intend to try different brands. The one thing i didn't like about this one was that it said it was sprayed with an "inert gas." Inert or not, I'm not sure I want my food gassed.
Oh, another thing...supposedly, chia doesn't have a hard shell like flax, so you don't need to grind it. I also read that it doesn't go rancid as fast as flax. I can also say I've done flax and never noticed a darn thing, I just used it because it was supposed to be good for you. I noticed something with chia the first day.

Description of Spectrum Chia Seed Omega-3 And Fiber -- 12 oz
Grown in Mexico, Chia was a diet staple of the Aztecs and Mayans. The seed's nutrients provided sustained energy during long hunts and had numerous medicinal benefits. Revered by the people, Chia was often used in religious ceremonies which led to its ban by the Spanish during their conquest of the region.Today it is known that Chia is a nutritional powerhouse with a lengthy list of essential fatty acid that supports heart health and fiber which helps support normal functioning of the digestive tract and can have a positive effect on cholesterol.* Chia seeds are easily digestible and do not need to be ground. With its versatility and mild, nutty flavor, Chia is a beneficial addition to any diet.Essential Fatty Acid Combinations
