Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains chia seeds, which are a source of omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. However, data on the specific health benefits of this exact blend is limited. For calcium specifically, the data shows it supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your nerves signal and muscles contract properly [NIH ODS]. The omega-3s from chia seeds may also contribute to overall wellness, though specific data on this product's omega-3 bioavailability is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of excessive calcium include nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Data not available on side effects specifically for this product's chia seed blend.
Our recommendation
Start by evaluating your current calcium intake from food before adding this supplement. If you take medications, separate calcium intake by at least two hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For omega-3s, chia seeds are a plant-based source, but data not available on the exact amount in this product. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
