Chia seeds originated with the Aztecs. 

Chia has a good source of omega 3, antioxidants, fiber, calcium, zinc, vitamins A, B12, Vitamin C, magnesium, iron, potassium and 18 amino acids.  It actually has 7xs more Vitamin C than oranges, 5xs more calcium than milk, 3xs more iron than spinach, and packed up to 23% protein.  

Protein helps the body create Keratin which makes your hair stronger.

(Contains) Boron, which speeds the rate at which calcium is absorped and utlized by the body.
Iron plays a key role in manufacturing hemoglobin, the part of the blood that carries oxygen to your body’s organs and tissues

When your hemoglobin is at a healthy level, oxygen is properly dispersed. This means your scalp is getting a good flow of blood, which will stimulate and promote hair growth.

Eggs; dates; raisins; dark green, leafy vegetables such as kale; and whole-grain cereals are all high in iron. Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron ( Citrus: Lemon , Strawberries)
