We have a team over here in Florida called “Athlete’s Fueled by Mila” and they’re set up at a lot of the expos down here. I checked out their product and I guess it’s not a supplement, but a whole food, but has what appears huge nutrients by nature. The athletes note that it helps with hydration, inflammation and even stamina. Anyone try or research this? Is it recommended by anyone (I have some joint/inflammation issues, that’s why I ask)?
Here’s what it notes (dang, I just copied the nutrition part, but it took it all…geez):

Anti-Aging
Did you know that every ninety days your body regenerates nearly all of its seven to ten trillion cells? Aging happens when damaged cells are replicated in this process such as free-radicals. When healthy, stronger, smoother elastic cells are properly regenerated, the aging process is slowed. The anti-oxidants in Mila®:
Fight and neutralize free radical damageFlush out age—accelerating toxinsElasticize skinEnhance hair, skin, and nailsLubricate jointsReduce muscle soreness and speeds rejuvenationLower lactic acid buildup in musclesRegain youthful exuberance
Heart Health
Given today’s typical dietary habits, finding additional sources of
Omega—3s is more important than ever. To help offset that negative
dietary trend, Mila ® contains the perfect ratio of 3:1 (3 Omega—3s
to 1 Omega—6), all of which makes Mila essential for maintaining a
healthy heart.
Mila has a vasodilatory effect by increasing the size of the arteries and
can play a role in lowering blood pressure.
Weight Loss
Mila® is so nutrient-dense that the equivalent nutrients can only be acquired by consuming an amount of food that represents approximately 6 times the calories of Mila. For example, consuming 3 oz. of Mila results in about 6 times fewer calories from the best combined sources of the same nutrient. In addition, Mila’s exceptionally high level of Tryptophan (an amino acid that suppresses appetite) may relieve hunger pangs. Mila can easily be used in formulating meal replacements.
Blood Sugar
Salvia hispanica L.’s nutrient-dense qualities and Omega-3 content has been shown to
assist in the management of proper blood sugar levels.
Gastro-Intestinal Health
Mila® is also a hydrophilic colloid (a mixture of particles which absorb a certain quantity of the fluid in which they are suspended). This important property aids in the digestion of food and helps control excess acids associated with indigestion, heartburn, and sour stomach. Mila’s unique soluble fiber content combined with its hydrophilic colloidal properties make a gel in the stomach that creates a physical barrier “lining” the stomach.
Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure
Mila® has a vasodilatory effect by increasing the size of the arteries and can play a role in lowering blood pressure.
Breast Health
Preliminary research at the University of California, Los Angeles suggests that Omega-3s may help maintain healthy breast tissue.
Bone Health
Per serving, Mila® contains six times more calcium than milk. Mila is also a rich source of other essential minerals like phosphorous, magnesium, and iron, all of which aid in the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
Prostate Health
Numerous studies show that diets high in Omega-3s and fiber may help maintain a healthy prostate. Mila®, with its high Omega-3 and fiber content, is an easy and simple way to include these necessary nutritional benefits into your daily diet.
Prenatal Health
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that Omega-3s are very important in nourishing the developing brain of a baby and maintaining the mental health of the mother. Mila® also contains essential amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, including folate (folic acid), all of which are extremely important in fetal development.
Menopause
Mila®, with its high Omega—3 content, may enhance and balance hormones. Mila may also help reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause and as well as help maintain a positive mental outlook.
