As CEO of Rain International, LLC, Byron Belka leads a direct marketing enterprise focused on seed nutrition supplementation. The scientifically formulated products Byron Belka delivers are designed to maximize human performance and promote better health. Among the popular selections is RENU, which fights oxidation and supports cell function within the kidneys, liver, and heart. Key cleansing ingredients include CoQ10, cysteine dandelion leaf and root, N-Acetyl, and chia seed.
Harvested from Salvia hispanica, chia seeds are native to Guatemala and Mexico and take their name from the Mayan term for “strength.” Small and versatile, the smooth flat seeds have a unique ability to form a gel as they absorb liquid and are often added to porridges or used as a sauce thickener. While similar to flaxseed, a key difference is that they can be consumed raw, such as when sprinkled over a salad. They also pack a punch far beyond their weight within efficient-to-consume supplements such as RENU.
The health benefits of chia seeds are immense, as they combine fiber, quality protein, and a variety of essential minerals and antioxidants. One of their key characteristics is high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. With 75 percent of fats in the seeds of this heart-healthy type, another 20 percent is in the form of omega-6 fatty acids. This makes them superior to even flaxseed as a source of fats that benefit the cardiovascular system.
