Chia oil is extracted from the seeds of the salvia hispanica, a plant native to Central America. Chia seeds are now widely used due to the many health benefits attributed to them.
Chia seeds are known for containing a high amount of essential fatty acids, and especially omega-3 in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Wikipedia has a chart noting chia's advantage over all the other main plant sources of ALA. The chart is part of an article that also discusses ALA's health benefits, sourced with specific scientific studies.
Aside from omega-3 ALA, Chia seeds also contain other essential fatty acids, includingomega-6, and a very small amount of Omega-9. Both are also beneficial for human health.
Chia oil taken as capsules is an easy and convenient way to integrate this wonderful plant source of ALA omega-3 into one's daily diet.
