Why chia for weight loss?
It's not magic — it's physics. Chia seeds absorb 10–12 times their weight in liquid, forming a gel in your stomach that physically slows digestion and triggers satiety hormones. Drink chia water 30 minutes before a meal and you naturally eat 15–20% less. That's why every modern weight-loss programme — from intermittent fasting to high-protein diets — features chia somewhere.

How much per day?
Start with 1 tablespoon (~10g) daily for the first week — chia is so high in fibre that going straight to 2 tbsp can cause bloating if your gut isn't used to it. Build up to 2 tbsp (~20g) daily over 2–3 weeks. Always drink with plenty of water.
Storage & freshness
Store in the resealable pouch in a cool, dry place — best within 12 months of the manufacturing date. Chia seeds have a long shelf life because their natural antioxidants protect the omega-3 fats from going rancid.
Frequently asked questions
Should chia be soaked before eating?
Highly recommended. Eating dry chia and then drinking water can cause them to swell in your throat or stomach uncomfortably. Soak in liquid for at least 10–15 minutes before eating.
Is chia better than sabja (basil seeds) for weight loss?
Both work similarly (both swell in water and aid satiety). Chia has more protein, more omega-3, and stays gelled longer. Sabja is cheaper and works better in cooling Indian summer drinks. Most people benefit from having both.
Can I drink chia water every day?
Yes. 1–2 tbsp chia in water once or twice a day is safe and effective long-term. Don't exceed 30g per day.
How long until I see weight loss results?
Chia helps you eat less by promoting satiety — but it's not a fat-burner. Combined with mindful eating, most people notice reduced cravings within 2 weeks and gradual weight loss over 8–12 weeks.
Are there side effects?
The most common is bloating from suddenly increasing fibre intake. Build up gradually. Anyone on blood thinners or blood pressure meds should consult a doctor — chia can affect both.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Generally yes, in moderate amounts. Good source of plant omega-3 (important for foetal brain development) and calcium. Always confirm with your doctor.
Why are these different colours (some black, some white)?
Both are normal. Chia plants produce both black and white seeds — they're nutritionally identical. The mix you'll receive is naturally varied.
Is COD available?
Yes, on orders above ₹500 across India.
