Chia has an ancient nutritional history of its own. Native to Mexico and Central America, chia seeds were valued as an important food by Mesoamerican cultures long before they became a modern “superfood.”

These tiny seeds naturally provide plant-based omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, soluble fiber, protein, minerals, and a variety of plant compounds. Their remarkable nutritional density has helped bring chia back into prominence as researchers and consumers have rediscovered foods that traditional cultures relied on for generations.

Although chia is not historically an Ayurvedic botanical, it plays an important role in IQed’s broader nutritional formula. It complements the Ayurvedic ingredients while contributing valuable nutrients that help make IQed a more complete nutritional food.
