Indeed it is, but not in the same form.

30% of the chia seed’s oil is Omega 3 oil. 40% of its oil is Omega 6 oil.
The chia seeds are great for athletes because they are highly hydrophilic. Being hydrophilic means it absorbs large amounts of water. Chia Seeds can absorb over 10 times their weight in water making them a great enhancer in hydrating our bodies.
Studies show that eating chia seed slows down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrate calories into simple sugars. This leads scientists to believe that the chia seed may have great benefits for diabetics.
The chia seed gels when becoming wet and this gel, when in our digestive systems, helps prevent some of the food, hence calories that we eat from getting absorbed into our system.
the Chia Seed be healthier than the flax seed :drinker:

And where do you find this wonderful Chia? I'm curious now!

Any health food store - I've seen it in supermarkets alongside flax and other baking products. I've seen it at the pharmacy as well, alongside benefiber.
