Impact of a Low Dose of Chia Seeds

Description: Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.), incorporated into cookies, reduce postprandial glycemic variability, but have little or no effect on subjective appetite.

Key Topics Covered
  • Chia is a nutritious superfood with many benefits.
  • In this dose-response clinical study, consuming a low dose of 3g of chia may not substantially affect subjective appetite ratings. Still, it can significantly reduce glycemic response and variability.
  • This indicates that incorporating chia into meals can help regulate blood glucose levels and lower the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
