Chia Seed
Vitamin World Chia Seed is an Other Combinations supplement, categorized under Vitamins & Minerals, primarily consisting of whole chia seeds. This product has an N+ Score of 37, earning an F grade, indicating a poor overall quality assessment. It contains 9 ingredients, with a 15-gram serving of Chia providing 70 calories, 4.5g fat, 6g carbohydrates, and 3g protein. Key minerals like Phosphorus (90.000mg), Magnesium (44.000mg), and Manganese (0.420mg) are present but considered underdosed for significant clinical impact. While chia seeds offer natural fiber and omega fatty acids, the N+ Score suggests that as a supplement, its formulation or specific nutrient delivery may be suboptimal. It may be chosen by those seeking a natural food-based supplement, but its F grade points to limitations in its supplemental value.
