What is the Flax, Chia & Coconut Blend?

Barlean's organic flax, chia, and coconut blend is a versatile food supplement that combines three superfoods in one. With 2,330 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) per serving and a good amount of dietary fiber, this blend is designed to enrich your diet in a simple and delicious way. It is suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and ketogenic diets and contains no genetically modified organisms. Each 340g package contains whole chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and unsweetened shredded coconut, offering a crunchy texture and a mild flavor that pairs with a multitude of dishes.

Health Benefits of Seeds

The ingredients in this blend contribute to overall well-being thanks to their nutritional properties. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based type of Omega-3, contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The dietary fiber present in the seeds contributes to the normal maintenance of intestinal function and helps to increase the feeling of satiety. Furthermore, flax and chia seeds are a source of antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage. All of this, within the context of a varied and balanced diet.

It is important to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. The mentioned benefits are supported by health claims authorized by the EFSA, always referring to specific nutrients and not to the product itself.

Key Ingredients: Flax, Chia, and Coconut

Unsweetened shredded coconut: Offers a touch of natural flavor and provides fiber and healthy medium-chain fats, which can be a quick source of energy for the body.

This blend is certified organic, which guarantees that the ingredients have been grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. In addition, it is vegan, gluten-free, and suitable for ketogenic diets. For complete nutritional information, consult the product label.
