Hi The right form of having chia is... Chia seeds to be put/ soaked in a glass of 250 ml water..and leave it for about 10 to 15 mins...and then you can have the seeds along with the water...if taken likewise the nutrients of chia seeds are better absorbed and assimilated...well by the bodies.. Otherwise you can ground them to powder and use it in smoothies, on fruits..in soups etc..and consume.. Dosage: Can take half a teaspoon to one full teaspoon.. Need not take of consume daily..can be taken once after two days.. Thankyou
