Dear Medha, Thank you for the question

Chia seeds are known to be a rich source of nutrients, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and calcium. Chia seeds have come to be identified as a popular superfood today.
Chia seeds are a great source of protein and fibre that help in relieving constipation.

There is no Recommeded daily intake for chia seeds. It should be consumed as a part of daily balanced diet in adequate amounts.

One tablespoon (15g) chia seeds gives 2.5g protein and approximately 5g of fiber.

Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead
