Chia seeds make an excellent sports nutrition supplement. Chia seeds have many qualities over and above the nutrition they deliver; most of which target sportsman's needs. These tiny black chia seeds – originally from Mexico – were first used by ancient Aztec warriors to give them stamina.
CHIA'S USE BY ANCIENT WARRIORS
Chia is native to Mexico and Central America; it was here where Chia seeds were first valued as a nutritional food. Before going hunting, ancient Aztec warriors would eat chia seeds, which would then congeal into a large glutinous mass and sit in the stomach to provide satiety. It doesn't sound very appealing or delicate, but it is this process of swelling up and congealing that makes chia the perfect sports nutrition supplement.
The thickened chia seeds sit in the stomach and provide the body with a slow release of energy – in fact, they provide satiety, a feeling of being full and content, for up to six hours. Ancient Aztec warriors were noted for their exceptional hunting and fighting skills. And stamina – the quality for which that they were revered – was given to them by chia seeds. The seeds gave them the stamina to hunt down large game and fight their enemies for hours at a time without becoming exhausted.
CHIA SEEDS – THE MODERN SPORTS SUPPLEMENT
For the exact reasons that Aztec warriors found chia seeds gave them extended stamina, those who participate in endurance sports also acknowledge the benefits of using chia. The sports where Chia seeds are quickly becoming popular are:
In the modern health-conscious world we live in, the popularity of chia as a sports nutrition supplement is growing exponentially as the word gets out. Organic seeds mixed in a delicious smoothie or left to soak in water or Gatorade makes a perfectly balanced nutrition supplement.
Not only will chia slowly release energy into the body during exercise, it will also furnish the body with a broad range of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants, and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
PROVIDING DYNAMIC SPORTS NUTRITION
Chia seeds provide dynamic sports nutrition; they do this by slowly releasing energy into the body. This layered nutrition and host of vitamins and minerals are essential for hydration and cell rebuilding. The antioxidants that chia releases are essential for cell reproduction and increasing the capability of blood to carry oxygen.
They are easily incorporated into a whole host of existing formulas that athletes use to stay hydrated and healthy during workouts. Buy organic chia seeds and try them in the following ways:

I bought these for myself, my husband informed me last night that he's used them all. Really lovely tea
Bee pollen has become a part of our everyday routine. Since we started giving it to our son, in particular (who is slightly anaemic, which runs in my family), his health has completely changed. He is so much healthier now. I give it to all my children and take it myself.
The kids love the taste so much, we have to keep it on the highest shelf otherwise they will fill a bowl with it!
The latest batch that we bought is the most delicious yet. We're wondering if the bees were parking of some lavender. Whatever it is, it's amazing. It was out of stock for a little while and I had to keep checking the website as my children were asking for it.
Purchased milk thistle from this company. I have used this for many years but I have to say this is the most effective I have used from Health Market. Would definitely recommend. It contains no fillers only natural extract. Will definitely purchase again.
Really great product, good quality and good value
I was recommended Macca after having had a hysterectomy, I have been taking this supplement for almost 6 years. I feel it’s balanced my hormones, helped with women’s health, particularly in areas most required. I have 2 capsules per day & wouldn’t be without it.
If you’re unsure, give it a try, I find The Natural Health Market helpful and reliable, thank you.
I had been reading about the benefits of goji berries so decided to buy from NHM, delivery was quick, and compared to supermarket prices they are good value for money as you can buy different size bags to suit your needs. Resealable bag help to keep the berries fresh too ! I use them with my breakfast cereal and for snacking. I will purchase them again.
Lovely product, really good quality and I enjoy it in my smoothie every morning. Recommended.
I have bought these teabags as gifts and recently for myself. We all found that the tea has a very calming effect. Will definitely be buying some more.
The service from purchase to delivery is very efficient
I’m coming to the end of my second month using The Natural Health Market's Marine Collagen Powder, I can confidently say it has been a game changer—especially for my hair! I have noticed visible improvements, it has also become an easy and welcome addition to my daily routine.
Every morning, I mix two spoons of collagen powder (roughly 15g) with a teaspoon of organic cacao powder and a teaspoon of coconut sugar into my decaf coffee. I blend it with cold milk first then top up with hot water from the kettle. It tastes really good, feels like a treat while also supporting my well-being.
I’ve dubbed these three products the Power Throuple! The combination of marine collagen, rich cacao and coconut sugar, blends well, makes a great tasting and satisfying brew, keeps hunger at bay and delivers results!
These bags allow me to have a drink and help boost my immune system as well…it’s a win win.
Ia have been buying Himalayan salt from Natural health Market for years. It's the best I've tried so far.
Not to mention all the other stuff the sale like teas, etc.
I have replaced my wake up coffee with a mug of organic ginger tea every morning for over 6 months and feel a real boost to the day. I find them great for my digestive and immune systems. Dealing with The Natural Health Market is seamless with orders arriving as expected. Thank you to the team.
My 1st time of tasting hibiscus tea and I love it.
Steep for 5 mins and enjoy.
I can't comment on health benefits as ice only used it for a short while.
It's a little bit of me time.
Purchased these capsules as advised by a health professional. Found this company which offer organic products which I prefer . Been taking for a couple of weeks so is is a little early to give a true statement. Will continue to take this supplement as I'm hoping it will help with inflammation. Will definitely purchase again .
