Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and flavonoids (quercetin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid) that have been linked to reduced blood pressure.
“They are rich in crucial fatty acids, particularly with a high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, linked to reduced BP and a lower risk of CVD [43–45]. A 100-g serving of chia provides significant amounts of magnesium, potassium, and calcium, all potent vasodilators and vascular smooth muscle contraction inhibitors, effectively reducing BP [46–49]. Additionally, chia seeds contain flavonoids such as querc”
From Effects of chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) supplementation on cardiometabolic health in overweight subjects: a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs (2024) · cites this paper as [45]
The Nutritional information section identifies chia as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, potassium, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid; Table 2 in Specification of the novel food also lists magnesium (page numbers unavailable). The Human studies section reports lower systolic blood pressure in a small trial of chia seeds, but does not link that effect to those constituents. The cited passages do not identify quercetin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
