Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of chia seed consumption on lipid profiles and fatty acid levels in adults, including data from 10 clinical trials up to August 2020, and found that chia may have a protective effect by lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol.
  • Chia seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), proteins, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds, which have shown potential benefits in improving insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and glucose tolerance in various health studies.
  • The review suggests that adding chia to the diet can positively influence lipid and fatty acid markers, reducing harmful fats like saturated and free fatty acids and increasing beneficial PUFAs such as ALA, EPA, and LA, thus supporting its role in heart health and metabolic health.]
