Start with 1 tablespoon chia seeds per day
Mix chia seeds into water, milk, yogurt, or a smoothie
For pudding/gel texture: stir 1 tablespoon chia seeds into 1/2 to 1 cup liquid
Let sit 5 to 15 minutes, then stir again if needed
For dry use: sprinkle 1 tablespoon over oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, or salads
Drink adequate water with dry chia to prevent thickening in the mouth
Increase gradually to 2 tablespoons per day if tolerated
Take with meals to improve comfort
Store chia seeds in a cool, dry place and keep sealed after opening
Stop or reduce if you experience bloating, cramps, or constipation
If you have swallowing difficulties, use chia only in gel form and consult a clinician
If you take blood thinners or have a medical condition, check with a clinician before regular use
