Chia seed powder is derived from chia seeds — tiny black or white seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant. At Botanic Innovations, it’s partially defatted using the NatureFRESH Cold Press™ process, then cold-milled into a powder packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and various essential nutrients.
Not only contributing to satiety and digestive health, chia seed powder also provides a heart-healthy, plant-based source of natural energy — making it a versatile and convenient addition to many different product formulations.

- Rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seed powder is a superb plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, offering benefits to heart health and reducing inflammation.

How Health Drives Chia Seed Powder Uses
Given its high fiber and protein content, chia seed powder is particularly beneficial when used in supplements and functional foods.
The unique absorbency of chia seed powder, creating a gel-like substance when mixed with liquids, contributes to weight control by promoting a feeling of fullness or satiety. This effect helps reduce overall calorie intake, and the gradual release of nutrients supports blood sugar regulation, preventing spikes that can lead to cravings.
Chia seed powder also contains vitamins C, B, and iron — all beneficial when it comes to strengthened immune function and energy metabolism.
