Mila's power for improving health!
Loaded with Omega–3's, Fiber, Antioxidants and many other vital nutrients, Mila offers a variety of opportunities to improve your overall health and well being.
Heart Health
Given today's typical dietary habits, finding additional sources of Omega–3's is more important than ever. To help offset that negative dietary trend, Mila contains the perfect ratio of 3:1 (3 Omega–3's to 1 Omega–6), all of which makes Mila essential for maintaining a healthy heart.
Anti Aging
Did you know that every ninety days your body regenerates nearly all of its seven–to–ten trillion cells? When healthy, stronger, smoother, more elastic cells are properly regenerated, the aging process is slowed.
- Fights free radical damage
- Aging happens when damaged cells are replicated. Mila's antioxidants act to neutralize the free radicals that cause premature aging.
- Flushes out age–accelerating toxins
- Regain youthful exuberance
- Skin elasticity
- Hair, skin and nail enhancement
- Joint lubrication
- Reduces muscle soreness and speeds rejuvenation
- Lowers lactic acid buildup in muscles
Weight Loss
Mila is so nutrient-dense that the equivalent nutrients can only be acquired by consuming an amount of food that represents approximately 6 times the calories of Mila. For example, consuming 3½ oz. of Mila results in about 6 times fewer calories from the combined best sources of the same nutrient. In addition, Mila's exceptionally high level of Tryptophan (an amino acid that suppresses appetite) may relieve hunger pangs. Mila can easily be used in formulating meal replacements.
Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure
Mila has a vasodilatory effect by increasing the size of the arteries and thereby can play a role in lowering blood pressure.
Menopause
Mila, with its high Omega–3 content, may enhance and balance hormones. Mila may help reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause and help maintain a positive mental outlook.
Breast Health
Preliminary research at the University of California, Los Angeles suggests that Omega–3's may help maintain healthy breast tissue.
Prostate Health
Numerous studies show that diets high in Omega–3's and fiber may help maintain a healthy prostate. Mila with its high Omega–3 and fiber content, is an easy and simple way to include these necessary nutritional benefits into your daily diet.
Gastro–intestinal Health
Mila is also a hydrophilic colloid. This important property aids in the digestion of food and helps control excess acids associated with indigestion, heartburn, and sour stomach. Mila's unique soluble fiber content combined with its hydrophilic colloidal properties makes a gel in the stomach that creates a physical barrier thereby "lining" the stomach.
Bone Health
Per serving, Mila contains six times more calcium than milk. Mila is a rich source of other essential minerals like phosphorous, magnesium and iron, all of which aid in the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
Mental Health
The International Journal of Clinical Practice tells us that much research (including research from Harvard) has linked low levels of Omega–3's in the body with mood disorders. Omega–3's are believed to keep the brain's pattern of thoughts, reactions, and reflexes running cohesively and efficiently.
Blood Sugar
Salvia hispanica L.'s nutrient-dense qualities and Omega-3 content has been shown to assist in the management of proper blood sugar levels.
Prenatal Health
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that Omega–3's are very important to nourish the developing brain of the baby and to the mental health of the mother. Mila also contains essential amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals including folate (folic acid) all of which are extremely important in fetal development.

Q) What is Lifemax doing to combat world hunger?
Q) What is the effect of Mila on blood sugar?
Q) Is Mila a good source of Omega-3s?
Q) How is Mila™ different from other types of Salvia hispanica L.?
A) There are many types of chia, but Mila-"The Miracle Seed"-is named as such for three main reasons.
First, we carefully select our seed from different regions, paying special attention to such important factors as climate, soil, and time of harvest as these affect the seed quality. We also look at seed maturity; the Omega-3 content of immature seeds is very low so it's important to choose mature seeds for our blend.
Second, we look at the seed cleaning aspect to ensure that the chosen seeds are of the absolute best quality. Despite seed choice, if a grinding process is then used, it becomes easy to mask the inclusion of lower-quality seeds. Mila, on the other hand, undergoes a cold fracture process to mechanically open the seeds, and only the best seed blend is used.
This proprietary cold-fracture system-our third unique factor-carefully controls how the seed is opened, resulting in no increase in temperature, a factor which would otherwise lead to unwanted oxidation. Unlike the abrasive and harsh process of grinding, which causes the oils to be released and lost, our process preserves the nutritional value of the seed and increases bioavailability, meaning your body will get more out of the seed as your stomach acids access all aspects of what the seed has to offer.
It is the unique combination of these three factors-our carefully selected blend, our cleaning process, and the mechanical-opening of the seed-that makes Mila the best source of chia available.
Q) How is Chia related to ancient Aztecs?
A) Chia was one of the most important crops of the Aztecs. They had four main crops: corn, beans, chia, and amaranth, so it was 3rd on the list of importance! The Aztecs knew how valuable it was so they used it as a food, for medicinal purposes, as well as religious ceremonies. We learned this from codices written 500 years ago when the Spanish conquered the Aztecs, and their reliance on chia is well-documented. The Aztecs grew a number of different varieties of chia. They had white seed and black seed selected for their different properties. So...why did it disappear for 500 years? The story of chia is an interesting one upon which there is much recent speculation. Many believe that, because chia was used for religious ceremonies as both an offering to the Gods and for consumption, the friars outlawed chia. The Spanish were interested in producing crops with which they were familiar, and since chia couldn't grow in Europe, the Spanish determined it to be nothing of value, leaving a few rogue natives to head to the hills to be the "keepers of the seed" until it was rediscovered roughly two decades ago.
Q) Is Mila organic?
A) Because chia is a member of the mint family, insects never bother the crop. Without the risk of insect infestation, chia crops are never sprayed, which leaves no chance of residual pesticides. Unlike with leafy veggies where pesticides are used, we don't have to worry about contamination. Mila is not technically organic because there is a potential that some growers used fertilizer, but that would not have trans-located into the seed. So while Mila is grown organically, it is not certified organic.
Q) Is there a difference between white and black Salvia hispanica L.?
A) There are two main colors of chia: white and black. To be clear, there is no pure white or pure black, per se, as both are found within each other. The black seeds-just as in any dark fruit, such as a blueberry-are higher in antioxidants, but essentially, there is no major difference between white and black seeds.
For Mila, we use a mixture of both black and white seeds, creating a special blend selected for all the different properties that, together, create the best mixture and highest combination of all essential nutritional elements.
Q) How does Harvest time affect the quality of the product?
A) If the crop is not harvested at optimum maturity, the quality suffers and as such is lower in total oil and omega-3 content as well as other nutritional components.
Q) How did Salvia hispanica L. become known as “chia”?
A) The Aztec word for this crop was “chian” but was shortened to “chia” through translation from Nahuatl, which is the native language of the Aztecs.
Q) Is there a nutritional difference in the varieties of the seed?
A) Yes. The oil content, amount of Omega–3, protein and phytonutrients vary. Mila is made using seed selected for containing the highest amounts of these components.
Q) What conditions affect the nutritional properties of the Salvia hispanica L.?
A) As with any oil seed crop, cooler climates increase oil content. In chia, cooler climates also increase the omega-3 content.
Q) What is the difference between ground and the Mila process?
A) Conventional grinding heats the seed, which in turn leads to oxidation and decreased oil quality and to an extent, quantity. Thus, grinding reduces the shelf life of the product. The Mila process opens the seed and increases the surface area exposed to the digestive process. This ensures the highest bio-availability of any other form of Salvia hispanica L. known.3
Q) What is Bio–Availability?
A) Bio–availability is a technical term used to express nutrient availability and absorption. The more bio–available the product, the more beneficial it is to the body.
Q) How many variations of Salvia hispanica L. are out there and are they considered equal in nutritional benefits?
A) The Aztecs had numerous varieties; however, today this number has been reduced significantly due to mixing of the seed following the Spanish conquest. Not all have different nutritional profiles since the vast majority of seed available today came from the same mixed source of seed.
Q) What factors affect the nutritional value of Salvia hispanica L.?
A) Climate, rainfall, soil conditions, altitude, latitude and agronomic practices all contribute to the quality of the seed.
Q) How do you determine which seed goes into Mila? Is there a Quality Control process or grading system for the Salvia hispanica L.?
A) All of our production is analyzed in certified laboratories. Based on these analyses, we select only the highest quality seed which is then mixed and processed to produce Mila.
Q) What happens to the seed that doesn't make the cut for use in Mila™?
A) Mila truly is a unique product which can only be grown in limited supply! Our mission is, "To Change the Health and Wealth of the World" and whatever seed does not make the cut is utilized in many different channels of distribution to achieve that mission.

Dado los habitos alimenticios de hoy en día, encontrar fuentes adicionales de Omega–3 es más importante que nunca. Para ayudar a compensar las malas tendencias alimenticias, Mila contiene la perfecta proporción de 3:1 (3 Omega–3 a 1 Omega–6). Los Omega–3 son clinicamente aprobados para bajar los niveles de colesterol, triglicéridos, arritmia del corazón, bajar la presión de la sangre, actuar como un aclarador de la sangre e incrementa HDL, el colesterol "bueno".
Anti–envejecimiento
¿Sabia usted que cada noventa días su cuerpo regenera casi todas sus siete–a–diez trillones de celulas? Cuándo celulas más saludables, fuertes, saves y más elasticas son propiamente regeneradas, el proceso de envejecimiento se retarda.
- Lucha contra el daño causado por las moleculas libre radical
- El envejecimiento ocurre cuándo las celulas dañadas se reproducen. Los antioxidantes de Mila neutralizan los libre radicales que causan el envejecimiento premaduro.
- Expulsa las toxinas que aceleran el envejecimiento
- Vuelve la belleza de la juventud
- Elasticidad de la piel
- Realza la apariencia del pelo, piel y uñas
- Lubrica las coyunturas y reduce la inflamación
- Reduce el dolor muscular y acelera el remozamiento
- Baja el incremento del ácido lactico en los musculos
Perdida de peso
Mila es tan denso en nutrientes que la cantidad equivalente de nutrientes solamente pueden ser adquiridos consumiendo una combinación de las fuentes de comida más altas en estos nutrientes, una cantidad de comida que representa aproximadamente 6 veces las calorias de Mila. Por ejemplo, al consumir 3 1/2 onzas de Mila produce 6 veces menos calorias que las mejores fuentes combinadas del mismo nutriente.Además, Mila y su excepcionalmente alto nivel de Triptófano (un amino ácido que reprime el apetito) podría aliviar las ansias por comer. Mila puede ser usada fácilmente para reemplazar comidas.
Manteniendo la presión de la sangre saludable
Mila tiene un efecto vasodilatador en el cual aumenta el tamaño de las arterias y de este modo baja la presión de la sangre. Este es el mismo efecto obtenido por medicamentos recetados y debería de funcionar tanto para mujeres como para los hombres.
Menopausia
Mila, y su alto contenido de Omega–3, puede mejorar y balancear la terapia del reemplazo de hormonas (HRT). Mila puede ayudar a reducir los calores y otros síntomas de la menopausia y ayuda a mantener una visión de la vida positiva.
Salud de mama
Investigaciónes preliminares en la Universidad de California, Los Angeles sugieren que los Omega–3 pueden ayudar a mantener saludable el tejido de las mamas.
Salud de la próstata
Numerosos estudios han mostrado que dietas altas en los Omega–3 y fibra pueden ayudar a minimizar el riesgo del cáncer de la próstata. Mila y su alto contenido de Omega–3 y fibra es un modo fácil y simple para incluir estos tan necesitados beneficios en nuestra dieta diaria.
Salud Gastrointestinal
Mila también es un coloide hidrofílico. Esta es una propiedad importante que contribuye a la digestión de los alimentos y ayuda a controlar el exceso de ácidos asociados con indigestión, acidez, agrura estomacal y úlceras. La sin igual contenido de fibra soluble de Mila combinada con sus propiedades coloide hidrofílicas crea una gel en el estomago produciendo así una barrera física y de este modo "revestiendo" al estomago preveniendo irritación.
Salud de hueso
Por porción, Mila contiene seis veces más calcio que la leche, la cual previene la pérdida de hueso. Mila es una fuente rica en otros minerales esenciales como fósforo, magnesio y hierro, los cuales ayudan al cuerpo en la absorción y utilización de calcio.
La salud Mental
La Revista Internacional de Prácticas Clínicas (The International Journal of Clinical Practice) nos cuenta que mucha investigación (incluyendo investigaciones de Harvard) ha descubierto una conexión entre niveles bajos de los Omega–3 en el cuerpo y los desordenes de mal humor. Se cree que los Omega–3 pueden mantener los patrones cerebrales de pensamientos, reacciones y reflejos corriendo coherentemente y eficientemente. Ensayos clínicos han concluido que los Omega–3 pueden reducir el riesgo de varios desordenes psiquiátricos y la enfermedad del Alzheimers.
Azúcar de sangre
Se ha demostrado clinicamente que las cualidades nutritivas densas de la Salvia hispanica L. mejoran significativamente el control metabólico de la diabetes.
La salud prenatal
La Revista Americana de Nutrición Clínica (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition) informa de que los Omega–3 son muy importantes para nutrir al cerebro en desarollo de los bebes y para la salud mental de la madre. Mila tambien contiene amino ácidos esenciales, fitonutrientes, vitaminas y minerales incluyendo el folato (ácido folico) los cuales son extremamente importantes en el desarollo del feto.
Preguntas Frecuentes
Q) ¿Cómo le afecta el tiempo de cosecha al producto?

The Spanish were interested in producing crops with which they were familiar, and since chia couldn't grow in Europe, the Spanish determined it to be nothing of value, leaving a few rogue natives to head to the hills to be the "keepers of the seed" until it was rediscovered roughly two decades ago.
Q) Is Mila organic?
A) Because chia is a member of the mint family, insects never bother the crop. Without the risk of insect infestation, chia crops are never sprayed, which leaves no chance of residual pesticides. Unlike with leafy veggies where pesticides are used, we don't have to worry about contamination. Mila is not technically organic because there is a potential that some growers used fertilizer, but that would not have trans-located into the seed. So while Mila is grown organically, it is not certified organic.
Q) Is there a difference between white and black Salvia hispanica L.?
A) There are two main colors of chia: white and black. To be clear, there is no pure white or pure black, per se, as both are found within each other. The black seeds-just as in any dark fruit, such as a blueberry-are higher in antioxidants, but essentially, there is no major difference between white and black seeds.
For Mila, we use a mixture of both black and white seeds, creating a special blend selected for all the different properties that, together, create the best mixture and highest combination of all essential nutritional elements.
Q) How does Harvest time affect the quality of the product?
A) If the crop is not harvested at optimum maturity, the quality suffers and as such is lower in total oil and omega-3 content as well as other nutritional components.
Q) How did Salvia hispanica L. become known as “chia”?
A) The Aztec word for this crop was “chian” but was shortened to “chia” through translation from Nahuatl, which is the native language of the Aztecs.
Q) Is there a nutritional difference in the varieties of the seed?
A) Yes. The oil content, amount of Omega–3, protein and phytonutrients vary. Mila is made using seed selected for containing the highest amounts of these components.
Q) What conditions affect the nutritional properties of the Salvia hispanica L.?
A) As with any oil seed crop, cooler climates increase oil content. In chia, cooler climates also increase the omega-3 content.
Q) What is the difference between ground and the Mila process?
A) Conventional grinding heats the seed, which in turn leads to oxidation and decreased oil quality and to an extent, quantity. Thus, grinding reduces the shelf life of the product. The Mila process opens the seed and increases the surface area exposed to the digestive process. This ensures the highest bio-availability of any other form of Salvia hispanica L. known.3
Q) What is Bio–Availability?
A) Bio–availability is a technical term used to express nutrient availability and absorption. The more bio–available the product, the more beneficial it is to the body.
Q) How many variations of Salvia hispanica L. are out there and are they considered equal in nutritional benefits?
A) The Aztecs had numerous varieties; however, today this number has been reduced significantly due to mixing of the seed following the Spanish conquest. Not all have different nutritional profiles since the vast majority of seed available today came from the same mixed source of seed.
Q) What factors affect the nutritional value of Salvia hispanica L.?
A) Climate, rainfall, soil conditions, altitude, latitude and agronomic practices all contribute to the quality of the seed.
Q) How do you determine which seed goes into Mila? Is there a Quality Control process or grading system for the Salvia hispanica L.?
A) All of our production is analyzed in certified laboratories. Based on these analyses, we select only the highest quality seed which is then mixed and processed to produce Mila.
Q) What happens to the seed that doesn't make the cut for use in Mila™?
A) Mila truly is a unique product which can only be grown in limited supply! Our mission is, "To Change the Health and Wealth of the World" and whatever seed does not make the cut is utilized in many different channels of distribution to achieve that mission.
