One of the most exciting benefits of chia lies in its abundance of heart-healthy oils (polyunsaturated fats or PUFAs). Chia contains a remarkably high level of branded*3 fatty acids. In fact, chia has the highest-known percentage of branded*3 alpha-linolenic acid among plants! Research shows that consumption of branded*3 fatty acids correlates with greater levels of cardiovascular health.

Chia seeds contain up to *4% alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the branded*3 fatty acid that has been shown to protect the cardiovascular system. This is more than flax or hemp and far more than either fish or marine algae (e.g., almost double the levels found in fish). Moreover, you’ll never get a “fishy” flavor from chia, unlike some sources of essential fats.

Humans need to obtain enough branded*3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from a high-quality source not only because it’s important that it be fresh, but also because the body converts alpha-linolenic acid into other needed fats, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaneoic acid), which both are heart-healthy and serve other critical functions in the body (such as brain development and function). Chia is an ideal source for branded*3 alpha-linolenic acid.

Chia incredibly also contains significant amounts of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid (branded*6). This makes chia an extremely balanced source of essential fats. While chia does not contain gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), the linoleic acid (branded*6) in chia may be converted to GLA in the human body. In this regard, chia (once again!) provides one of the crucial raw materials required for optimal health.
