According to Dr. Wayne Coates, Anutra Scientific Advisor and author of Chia: Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs (Univ. of Arizona Press 2005) new strains of the ancient grain offer the highest known natural percentage of the alpha-linolenic fatty acid, omega-3 (60-63%) Alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid acting in the human body to transform EPA and DHA through the action of desaturation and elongation enzymes. The Anutra grain also contains omega-6 essential fatty acids and exhibits a favorable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of 3:1. Significant scientific research has shown modern diets contain too few omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 has been shown to be essential to lowering cholesterol and improving cardiovascular and heart health.
Anutra has strong antioxidant properties as well, having four times more antioxidants by weight than blueberries. Antioxidants present in Anutra include chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and flavanol glycosides. Since oxidation is significantly delayed, Anutra has great potential in the food industry, especially when compared to flax seeds which due to a lack of antioxidants decompose very quickly. Additionally, flax contains vitamin B interrupters causing some countries to ban flax seed for human consumption. Finally, flax does not have a regular food status designation in the U.S.
Anutra grain is approved as a food product by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Anutra is nature's most powerful nutritional supplement and food source containing significant amounts of all essential amino acids and phytonutrients. Anutra is also a good source of B vitamins, calcium (4 times more by weight more than milk), phosphorus, potassium, zinc, boron, and copper.
