HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chia Seed 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: chia seed at 450 mg per capsule. Chia is a plant seed that's been eaten as a food for centuries.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for chia's effectiveness is limited. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and obesity, chia is rated possibly ineffective — meaning the research we have doesn't support that it works for those uses.
For itching (pruritus), there isn't enough reliable evidence to say one way or another.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chia is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. The most common side effects from oral chia are flatulence and soft stools — usually mild and temporary.
A rare serious reaction, anaphylaxis, has been reported in sensitive individuals. Because there's little research on concentrated supplement doses (as opposed to food amounts), it's wise to stick closer to food portions and talk with your doctor before using high-dose supplements.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Use the medication checker on this page to confirm your specific drugs before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Chia is a food ingredient most people eat without problems. If you're thinking about taking this as a supplement — especially in larger amounts than you'd normally eat — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it fits your health picture.
Run your medications through the checker on this page before you start, and let your provider know if you experience belly bloating or loose stools.
