Fish oil is really problematic as a supplement and often rancid. Hope that helps! Lucas @Linda – it’s very difficult to give out general advise on dosage, but 2 tbls of chia daily is a good base.

I could be wrong, but I haven't found anything to suggest otherwise. Chia is not a very commercial crop at all. It's a micro-crop really, cultivated primarily for health food geeks (i.e. me) to eat. It is grown 'south of the border' in Mexico and other part of South America. Chia is not like chocolate or coffee where people are being exploited. Again, it's not a very commercial crop at all. Most people have never heard of it outside of Chia Pets from the 1980's:) Hope that helps! - Lucas @Pat – I’ve not found any reason to think any types of chia are superior nutritionally.

It is reportedly better because it is a mixture of Chia from different sites near the Equator. At least that's the claim. Can you comment on this? How does Mila compare to your product, is there a true nutritional difference aside from yours being organic? Who harvests your product, are these crops owned by the natives, are they well compensated? Is anyone shamelessly profiting at the expense of the vulnerable people who inhabit these regions?

Just make sure the seeds soak 2 minutes or so before you feed it to them (don't feed them dry). - LR @Linda – yeah, might try mixing the seeds with water and dog food mixture.

Chia are much more palatable. The taste is nothing, but yes, has a tapioca pudding texture. For kids, it's best to mix with sweet fruit juice. @Nancy – yes, agreed fish oils are really gross (esp fish burbs). Chia are much more palatable.

Have you heard anything about using Chia instead? Also, how is the texture? My son has autism as well and is tactilely defensive. Is it like drinking fish eggs? Or pulpy OJ? Thanks! Hey Lucas,

I love yogurt in the morning with berries added. If I sprinkle them in a cold cereal with milk, do I have to wait until they form a gel (or dissolve)or could I just start eating without it softening into a gel? That gel business kind of makes me a little quizzie.please forgive my spelling. Thank you for helping me and so many other folks. Lucas, you are very kind.
