A broad range of health benefits from a plant-based omega-3
Omega fatty acids are among the hottest health trends right now, with new
products coming to market every day. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty
acids affect heart and cardiovascular health. They have been shown to help
maintain healthy blood pressure, decrease inflammation and pain. Some
studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids may improve brain function,
and are important for general health.
Today, there is a strong push toward developing plant-based sources of
omega-3 fatty acids versus fish-based sources, because of concerns about
heavy metals, taste, and issues related to acid reflux. In addition, vegetarians
and vegans, who number in the millions, will not consider fish-based sources
for supplemental nutrition. Beyond these, there is mounting evidence of the
health benefits associated with plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Chia Gold™ Omega-3 Chia Seed Oil
Ancient. Modern. And the best source of
omega-3 you can find
Salvia hispanica, known as ‘chia’ to the Nahuatl (Aztecs) is one of the original
foods of the New World. A highly prized staple of the Aztec diet, chia (from
chian, meaning "oily") was valued for the energy and endurance it offered to
this ancient civilization.
Today we know that Chia Gold™ is one of the most desirable omega-3 sources
available for human consumption. It has a higher level of omega-3 fatty acids
than any commonly used natural source (see Table 1) with more than 600 mg
omega-3 per 1 gram of extract. For the consumer, this translates into a smaller
effective dose, fewer unwanted constituents and calories.

Chia Gold™ Omega-3 Chia Seed Oil contains natural antioxidants such as caffeic acid and tocopherols supplemented with Valensa’s proprietary all-natural botanical O2B™ Peroxidation Blocker system. This produces an ingredient that is highly stable and resists rancification. The rapid rancification of flaxseed oil, commonly known as linseed oil, is known to cause unpleasant taste and odors as well as potentially toxic compounds.
Valensa’s Chia Gold™ offers additional advantages over linseed/flaxseed oils including product consistency, longer shelf-life and a solvent-free, all-natural status.
