Health properties of this one amazing chia pot...

• Blueberries: Rich in anti-oxidants, particularly in polyphenols and flavonoids, highly potent compounds that scavange free-radicals and prevent them from doing the damage that may contribute to the signs of aging
• Beetroot powder: Highly concentrated source of nutrients including Iron, Folate, Magnesium and Vitamin C. Beetroot powder also contains a plant based source of nitrates which turn into nitric oxide and have a protective effect on the heart. 
• Lecithin: An emulsifying agent that may assist in the reduction of cholesterol in the body and also contains a nervous system nutrient called phosphotydlserine. 
• Chia seeds: A fantastic source of magnesium, calcium, omega 3 and dietary fibre plus many other essential nutrients. This tiny seed is one of natures powerhouses.
