Organic Chia Seed CO2 Total Extract

Add to Personalized Shopping List

Most famously known as the Chia plant and originating in central Mexico, the species Salvia hispanica is a member of the Lamiaceae plant family. Throughout the ages, chia seeds have been harvested for their extraordinary nutritive and therapeutic properties. The Aztecs, for example, ate chia seeds during times of war to help sustain them both physically and mentally.

Our premium quality Organic Chia Seed CO2 Total Extract is obtained by pressurized supercritical fluid extraction using carbon dioxide as the solvent. This method effectively extracts all the beneficial lipophilic constituents present in the seeds. Once the extraction process is complete, the CO2 dissipates back into a gaseous state. Unlike hexane and other solvent extraction processes, no trace of solvent remains in extracts produced by CO2 supercritical extraction methods. A maximum 0.1% Organic Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract has been added to ensure stable shelf life.

Organic Chia Seed CO2 Total Extract possesses an impressive nutrient profile that includes over 60% alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 essential fatty acid) and 15-21% linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). It also contains tocopherols and sterols.

Our Organic Chia Seed CO2 Total Extract is 100% natural. As with all our organic ingredients, it is certified organic by CCOF.

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER!”

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER! Great customer service, feedback is respected, durable packaging, fast delivery, and high quality, extensive product variety. I'm so glad FNWL exists and pleased that it continues to do well. And I like that it's owned by a family and not a big conglomerate. There are many more companies now than when I first began ordering that provide similar products, but I'm very happy with my sure bet. Everyone whom I've recommended FNWL to has remained repeat customers, too.”
