Valensa International

ORLANDO, Fla.—Valensa International introduced Tresalbio™, a branded Salvia hispanica seed extract—also known as “chia” seed— that delivers concentrated omega-3s, protein and more. Valensa (www.valensa.com) uses a CO2 extraction process to ensure product stability, contributing to longer shelf life while maintaining the integrity of the delicate essential fatty acids (EFAs). “Chia” was used by Aztec warriors for energy and vitality; today it is seen as a rich source of EFAs, delivering more than 600 mg of omega-3s per 1 g of extract, and a viable alternative to other plantbased sources of omega-3s. Tresalbio extract contains natural antioxidants augmented with Valensa’s proprietary, all-natural botanical O2B™ Peroxidation Blocker system, resulting in a highly stable ingredient that resists rancification.
