Chia is a substance essential to CELL life - a balance of giving out nutrients and while taking up debris.

Chia is used for scar tissue reduction in the lungs or bowels, moving sand and preventing ulcers. Chia acts as a barrier between the carbohydrates and the enzymes of the stomach. The slower metabolism results in less build-up of acid in the stomach. People are prone to ulcers because they constantly produce stomach acid. When under stress or heavy activity, they tend to produce more ulcers like symptoms and more acid. Using Chia along with WHAT is the perfect preventative for you.
