Chia seeds

SHARES - Prevention of the risk of cardiovascular accidents - Brain lubrication stimulating cognitive functions DIRECTIONS - Atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension - Loss of memory, erosion of intellectual faculties ORIGIN CHIA (Salvia hispanica) is an annual herbaceous plant from the sage family. It is native to Mexico where the consumption of its seeds was a major food source for pre-Columbian populations as an accompaniment to corn and beans. The Aztecs, Toltecs and Mayas baptized it Seed of the Gods. This is to say the cult they dedicated to its smooth, shiny, marbled brown, small, elongated seeds. FRENCH VARIETY ORURO® In 2017, to satisfy the growing demand for OMEGA 3 of plant origin in our country, a Made in France sector developed, after agronomic selection, the cultivation of a variety of CHIA called ORURO adapted to our temperate climate. LA SOURCE exclusively offers CHIA ORURO in the form of seeds or oil obtained by simple mechanical pressure of the seeds. The traceability of its culture, the reduction of its carbon footprint, the fair remuneration of farmers in the sector are to be celebrated. CHIA ORURO is a valuable plant source of ALA (Alpha Linolenic Acid) belonging to the OMEGA 3 group. PREVENTION OF THE RISKS OF CARDIOVASCULAR ACCIDENTS The OMEGA 3 concentrated in large quantities in CHIA ORURO make it a food of choice in the prevention of cardiovascular pathologies. It is therefore strongly recommended in the event of hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension (in addition to allopathic treatments for hypertension) and in preventing the risk of cardiovascular accidents. BRAIN LUBRICATION BOOSTING COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS PHOSPHOLIPIDS, other major components of CHIA ORURO contribute to maintaining the structure of cerebral membranes. Neurons feed on these phospholipids, their axons, their dendrites. Lubrication takes place which promotes neuromediation within
