Increased Energy, Glowing Skin

As a nutritional biochemist, I am always looking for new whole foods that my clients can incorporate into their diet. (With Salba) Many people found they received increased energy, less blood sugar swings, and better moods. There was even a marked glow to the women's skin - wrinkles were also less visible as (Salba's) EFA's plumped up their skin! I heartily recommend it to all my clients now. It seems to help with low level depression (especially the Seasonal Affective Disorder so many Northerners get this time of year), food cravings and increase sports stamina.

A World-Renowned Diabetes Researcher...

Due to Salba's extremely high content of Omega-3 fatty acids, nutrient rich composition, and the results we've witnessed, Salba creates exceptional possibilities for the improvement of human health and nutrition. Nothing else in the field of nutrition has come close to matching these exceptional results. Salba can be considered the perfect functional food.

I'm Feeling 79 Years Young Again!

I've been using Salba for 3 weeks and my dry skin has improved 1000%. I no longer need my glasses to read. I have much more energy for long distance training for the annual "Ride Idaho" 415 mile bike tour of the beautiful Idaho countryside. My daughter - who is 51 and a cancer survivor - has experienced significant energy improvement and her skin is no longer dry after chemotherapy treatments. Thank you Salba!

My Diabetic Husband's Blood Sugar: Was 240, Now 94

My husband is a 72 year-old diabetic who came down with a perforated appendix in March. While in the hospital, his blood sugar soared because of the hospital food, drink, and medication he had to take. The day I brought him home, his blood sugar level was 240. We called our Naturopathic Physician and he recommended a strict regimen to check [my husband's] blood sugar. It was obstinate, and after 3 or 4 weeks, he was still struggling. Then, I received our Salba and we began adding it into our diet. Within a few days, his blood sugar began to bounce around - down to 165, 195, 162, etc. Five days after starting to take Salba, his blood sugar plummeted dramatically to 108, and has since dropped as low as 94! We are very impressed. Thanks Salba!

Beauty Expert and Nutritionist to Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker...

No food is more impressive than Salba by Core Naturals. Because my approaches to weight loss, overcoming food obsession, and inside-out beauty all rely on the most nutrient-dense, low blood sugar-impact, high-omega-3 and high-fiber food possible, Salba is almost a panacea.

The Omega-3s in Salba offer "prettier" moods, more lustrous skin, hair, and nails as well as less inflammation. The fiber in Salba provides clearer skin, less bloating, and fewer cravings and blood sugar swings. The rich antioxidants offer more graceful aging, fewer wrinkles, and younger skin. The magnesium helps to offer more restorative sleep, healthier bones and teeth. The calcium content can improve bone health, possibly less weight gain and reduced PMS.

Salba Has Completely Changed My Life!

About 1 1/2 months ago, I was in a wheelchair. Although I could walk, I wasn't able to take 10 steps without losing my breath - I had to stop and catch my breath, and then walk until I got fatigued again.

My doctor has told me that I need a new heart, and so I am in line to receive a heart transplant in San Diego, CA.

I saw an ad in the local newspaper about Salba and I decide to give it a try. After a few days of taking Salba, I noticed feeling much more energy - I was even able to start doing more things around the house. I painted and pruned the trees, among other things.

My cardiologist examined me last week and he is amazed at the complete transformation in my health. I tell everyone about Salba. I gave a bottle to my oldest daughter (47) and now she loves it - she even ordered 10 bottles from me for her home care business in Rancho Mirage.

Everyone I talk to wants some Salba, because they can see the well-being on my face compared to when I almost died. I am 69 years young and will be 70 on July 11, 2009. I thank you for rediscovering this product and may God bless you.

Two-Time Champion Ironman Triathlete (and Vegan)...

Packed with antioxidants and comprised of about 20% high-quality protein, Salba is extremely nutrient-dense and digests easily. Therefore, its “Net Gain” is exceptionally high. Particularly rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium and iron, Salba can effectively replenish minerals used in muscle contractions and lost in sweat. Additionally, Salba can promote smooth and effortless muscle movement, thereby reducing the amount of work required for each contraction. This is significant. Increased muscle efficacy directly translates to improved athletic performance. Salba is also high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps to sustain energy and maintain fullness. Very versatile, Salba can be used to replace up to 20% of the flour in baking, packing it with nutrition.

I Experienced Results After Just 24 Hours

I received my shipment of Salba on 12/16/08. I added Salba to every food substance that I consumed over the next 24 hours. Within a few hous, I started to notice that my appetite decreased. Then, I started to visit the rest room more than normal (Thank God!). Next, my energy levels started to increase. Wow! All these results after only 24 hours. I am very excited about this product and I can't wait to see the results I will receive after using Salba over the next few months.

Better Shape Than 15-20 Years Ago

Today, my family started our annual pre-spring cleaning of our back yard... to my surprise I found myself to be physically in better shape now than perhaps 15-20 years ago and perform the heavy labor to prepare the grounds as required. It's amazing that when you are in the regime of taking Salba you don't feel super power wellness until you put your body to task. After having taken medication for nearly 20 years, with which I never reached my current plateau readings of 123/72 with a pulse rate of 65, I'm happy to inform you that I have reached my personal goal that I have longed to reach.

Very Impressed With Salba!

Our support group, North Texas Gluten Intolerance Group, invited Ellie Berglund, a local Salba representative to be our speaker a year ago. I, and my group, were so impressed with her presentation and supporting visual materials about the nutritional value of adding Salba to our diets, that a lot of us bought Salba that day. I was able to convince one of our largest supermarket chains in North Texas to carry Salba so we’ve been able to buy it locally ever since to everyone’s delight. I just had my yearly physical and pronounced in perfect health. I think this is due to the fact that I’m eating healthy and taking my Salba everyday. With Salba added to my diet, I was able to reduce the vitamins I was taking before I found out about Salba. My blood pressure is great, I have tons of energy and I feel wonderful. Salba has been a great addition to my diet.

Diabetes Under Control...

I have been a diabetic for ten years. My glucose levels have been higher than my doctor and I would like I read about the effectiveness of salba for glucose control in "The Saturday Evening Post". I have taken salba gelcaps for six months or so - my glucose is back under control. I take two gelcaps after my main meals. I feel great and less problems with my allergies. I also have a lot more energy for exercise. Thank you salba!

Blood Glucose Down 20 Points!

Approximately four months ago, my doctor said my glucose was a little on the high side. Coincidentally, I heard about a clinicaltest in which Salba was given to diabetic patients who, after three months, saw a measurable decrease in their glucose levels. As my next doctor's appointment was in three months, I decided to conduct my own mini-clinical test, and I ordered a 3-month supply of Salba. I stirred a tablespoon into my morning coffee each day (the crunchy seeds took a little getting used to, but now I enjoy it) and eagerly awaited my next appointment. Well, the results are in!

My glucose level went from 120 to 100.6. The only change in my diet was the addition of Salba, so the credit goes to this remarkable product.

I'm a 76 year old crossing guard and I normally get up at 5:15 A.M. By the time I return from my morning shift at 8:30, I'm famished. However, due to Salba, I no longer make a beeline to the refrigerator as soon as I walk through the door.

Salba Anchors Me

My oncologist recommended Salba as a central part of my nutritional program due to its nutritional density. I eat it daily in the morning (ground). It anchors me; no hunger cravings, stays with me, but doesn't make me feel heavy, it's easy for me to digest, and I enjoy the taste with nut milk and some berries. Salba has become my ideal breakfast food because I love the way I feel and I know I'm getting the nutrition I need.

Finally, a Healthy Snack My Kids Actually ENJOY!!

I have been taking Salba for about 6 months now. Not only have I noticed a tremendous difference in my sugar cravings, but it makes me feel full and energetic for long periods of time. My 2 year old son and I LOVE the Salba bars! Finally, a healthy snack bar that is not filled with processed sugars and candy coatings! I am currently 5 months pregnant and I am feel like I am really giving my baby a nutritious beginning. Salba seed is so versatile to use, it's tasteless, and I can add it to anything from sandwiches to pasta dishes. Thank you so much for discovering this amazing seed....it has improved my health (and my childrens' health) without any effort at all.
- Jacquelyn Keyes Orlando, FL
Thank You!

Your product is truly remarkable. I have been using Salba seeds for three weeks and my glucose numbers are now in the average of 110. My numbers before were 160. Thank you!

Salba Helps My Hypoglycemia and IBS

Salba is great! It's become part of my daily diet. I have IBS and reactive hypoglycemia. Salba keeps my blood sugar more stable throughout the morning by combining it with my breakfast cereal. It also has helped my IBS. I went on vacation recently without my Salba and couldn't wait to get home and start back on it. My blood sugar has been dropping in the mornings. I have tried many, many nutritional products and Salba is one of the few that I've recommended to others.

I've Worked in the Nutrition Industry for 9 Years...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for Salba! I have worked in the health food industry for 9 years and have been looking for a good source of omega 3's and GLA that I will actually take on a daily basis and stick with. Salba is amazing, no fishy burps or remembering to take pills all day long, and unlike flax seeds, they are so easy to chew - no need to grind them up. I keep a bottle at home and one at work so I can sprinkle some on almost anything I eat. Sandwiches, eggs, salads, soups -- you name it, they taste great. I've tried regular chia seeds, no comparison, Salba's better hands down. Better nutrition, easy to take, great taste -- your products got it all.

I'm Regular Again!

I just want to thank you for your product and tell you about the results I've had from using Salba. I first heard about Salba from El Peto when I was ordering from them. I began using Salba last Thursday (Oct. 20th). I have Celiac Disease and was having trouble internally and run into complications at times where I needed to take a laxative (this happens at least once a month). I had such complications that I began to develop polyps in my colon because I could not pass anything through my body. I noticed an improvement within two days. I was going to the washroom regularly which usually only happens when I detox myself once a year (using a kit with a "laxaherb"). Sorry if this email is grossing you out! Anyways, I have gone to the washroom 7/8 days since I have been using salba. I donʼt even remember the last time I was this regular. I donʼt feel bloated and irritable anymore. I don't know if its possible, but I do feel like Iʼm not as tired as I used to be. I find that its easier to get out of bed in the morning, and that Iʼm not falling asleep at my computer in the mid-afternoon either like I was.

I wish that I would have discovered this product about 3 years ago. I have tried everything from psyillium husks to taking a million vitamins daily, eaten this meal pattern; apples, prunes, beans in sauce, prune juice, and then a regular dinner...and not even this helps me. Thanks again for helping me!

I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and...

...I'm lovin' this stuff! Easy to grind, easy to store and wonderful to bake with! So far the waffles are excellent, cookies are delightful, sauces and gravies are easily thickened and oh the broth turned out perfectly for homemade chicken and noodles! I believe I've only just begun to experiment... I typically do a lot more in the kitchen as the weather cools off and winter months keep us nestled in... need I say more?

Keep it well stocked!

Salba is Working Better than My Prescriptions!!

I have been on Salba for about four months now. I have type 2 diabetes and was diagnosed about six years ago. I am on maximum dose of Metformin and two shots of 10mcg of Byetta. My blood sugar was still in the 160 - 210 range. I have been searching for a more natural way to control my diabetes. I started mixing 2-3 tablespoons of salba with oatmeal in the morning, at lunch I mix two tablespoons of salba with either activia yogurt or soy milk (blended). I sprinkle it on my salads. I have reduced my saturated fats to a minimum. My skin is no longer dry, my feeling in my fingers and toes has returned to normal, I can see in low light better, I have lost 20 pounds in the last two months and my blood sugar is between 94 - 114. My exercise has been one round of golf per week. I intend to increase my exercise and hope to begin reducing my medication. The salba in the morning gives me a feeling of fullness throughout the day.

My Family and I Are Food Sensitive

I wanted to take a few minutes and send you a note to let you know how satisfied I am with my Salba orders and how I use Salba. Basically, my family and I are food sensitive and mainly vegan since January of 2007. I have been looking for a single source of protein, omega-3, fiber, as well as a way to sustain an even blood sugar levels. I use Salba to replace eggs in recipes and make sure to add more liquid and longer baking time. I am assured as a mother of two teens and wife of a hungry husband that Salba fills our need to know we are getting a great amount of omega-3's with out taking pills of fish oil or other oils.

I use Salba in smoothies, in baked goods, to smooth out our oatmeal, and add it to everything where protein would regularly show up in a meal. Since the little white grain is basically taste free and takes on what ever flavor I am adding it to, I don't worry about rejection of what I make when we sit down for a meal. Since we are somewhat gluten intolerant, I add the lovely plumping grain to coarser types of non-wheat pancake flours which can be dry and coarse, and we are pleasantly surprised as to the new creations of what used to be a choke it down pancake. Nutritious strawberry shortcake for breakfast anyone? We've wound up making that with Salba.

Recently my cholesterol was tested and I went from a 199 cholesterol level to 133. I would say that is remarkable.

I am looking forward to all the new lines of Salba products coming out from Core Naturals, and will hope to open a Salba products store someday in my Southern California area.

Until then I will continue experimenting with recipes by plumping, smoothing, adding fluffiness, fiber and nutrition to what would typically be a challenging gluten free, vegan menu.

Thanks Salba, and Thanks Keith!

My Arthritis is Gone!

A friend told me about Salba, so I bought 3 bottles. I have taken 2 Tbs daily for the last 6 weeks. The arthritis pain in my knees is completely gone! I work 40+ hours as an operating room nurse in a mega 75-operating room hospital. I am 52 years young and nurses half my age cannot keep up.

I want to know about a distributorship, so I can spread the word. I appreciate the science behind this fabulous product. I used to take Mona Vie acai berry juice, but I did not get the results I am getting from Salba.

Salba Has It All

We all need a bit more calcium, magnesium, antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3s in our diet, and Salba provides all of them.

The Energy I've Experienced is a God-send

I am very happy to share my findings from taking Salba. It has been a God-send for me to have the energy I've experienced since taking it. I have the energy without nervousness, and more stamina. I am a 71 year old grandmother of 17 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, and what I envy most is people with energy. However, now I have energy, and I'm able to stay up longer at night and sleep so well...I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to feel better. Thank-you for the information you sent me!

I Have My Nails Back!

Today is the 94th day that I have consumed Salba. I continually take note of the personal good health that I have acquired since starting on the Salba regimen. I'm adding another benefit to the list of the previous personal improvements: nail health!

For the past 50+ years in my career, I've been exposed to solvents that have been very harsh to my finger nail cuticles...they were always embarrassingly ugly. You look at them now after taking Salba, and you would think that I have just jumped out of the manicurist's chair!

Progressively, my toenails are getting healthier too! I have learned that nail health is an excellent indicator of general physiological wellness.

It's Like We Were 10-20 Years Younger...

My husband and I started taking the 2 tablespoons of salba about the 2nd week of December 2005. I am 72 and my husband almost 80. I had been battling cancer fatigue and could barely make it from one chair to another, my husband had energy but if he ate, he would fall asleep for hours. After only 3 to 4 days, I was back to doing chores and enjoying a better outlook on life. My husband could eat and continue with chores. Its like we were 10 to 20 years younger. Its really great!!
