Chia Seed Extract Powder

INTRODUCTION:

Chia seed extract powder is a nutrient-dense ingredient packed with 52 types of nutrients, including protein, calcium, iron, omega-3, and over a dozen antioxidants. When consumed after soaking, it serves as a meal replacement, provides continuous energy, and aids in bowel movement regularization. In the United States, it has been incorporated into the school lunches of children to supplement dietary fiber and omega-3 intake. This extract is FDA-approved as a safe food and recognized by EU legislation as an acceptable ingredient for bread.

Chia seeds, one of the key crops of ancient pre-Columbian American civilizations, date back to 3500 BC. In the U.S., they are classified as a safe food, and they are also legally permitted ingredients in bread according to EU regulations. Recent research indicates that chia seeds are abundant in fatty acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, and dietary fiber. They function as active substances that play significant roles in antioxidant activities, reducing blood lipids, and enhancing cardiovascular health.

APPLICATIONS:

Chia seed extract powder finds wide application in food supplements, health care, medical, and cosmetic domains.

In cosmetics fields:

1. Moisturizing effect
   Chia Seed Gel (CSG), derived from the seed coat of chia seeds, can hold up to 23 times its weight in water, acting as a novel natural moisturizer.

   
   

2. Whitening and repairing effect
   The omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in chia seed extract powder exhibit excellent biological functions in preventing skin moisture loss, maintaining the epidermal barrier of the stratum corneum, and inhibiting epidermal melanin production. Chia seeds have the highest known natural proportion of omega-3-linolenic acid (ALA). Meanwhile, active ingredients such as vitamins and polyphenols in chia seeds are also valuable for skincare.
   Studies indicate that chia seed extract, either alone or in combination with chia and pomegranate seeds, can inhibit melanin biosynthesis in Melan-A cells. This implies that chia seed extract can suppress genes related to melanin synthesis, aiding in skin whitening.

   
   

3. Antioxidant effect
   The vitamins C, E, phenols, and flavonoids in chia seeds offer strong antioxidant activity, effectively preventing skin aging.
