Best Answer

Salvia hispanica, aka Chia, is a plant in the Sage family. The seeds are edible and used as a nutritional supplement or "health food". The seeds are soaked in water, which causes them to produce a slimy mucus which makes them easy to swallow.

Are chia seeds banned by the ncaa drug policy?

I cannot find anything stating that chia seeds are banned by the NCAA. You want to make sure that you are not confusing Salvia hispanica (chia) with Salvia divinorum (Diviner's sage). The Diviner's Sage plant apparently has hallucinogenic properties and is banned by some military branched. Diviner's Sage seeds can give a positive drug test.
