Nutr. Sci., 2015. In press.
Why Ahiflower Oil? An Omega Fatty Acid Powerhouse! Ahiflower is a proprietary, refined seed oil from the plant Buglossoides arvensis, in the Boraginacea family. It is the richest naturally-occurring source of stearidonic acid (SDA) and an excellent source of gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). Ahiflower Oil Composition Omega-6 18% LA 12% GLA 6% SDA 18% Omega-9 10% Other Oils 9% Oleic Acid 10% Other Oils 9% ALA 45% Omega-3 63% Based on actual analytical results. Ahiflower oil is a powerful single-plant source of non-gmo omegas with a >3:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. Ahiflower oil offers consumers an optimum choice for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory support!
Efficient Source of EFAs The richest known natural source of omega-3 SDA SDA in Ahiflower Oil converts more efficiently to the fatty acid found in fish oil. Unlike the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in most plants, Ahiflower Oil contains the omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA) which converts more readily to EPA. The body converts SDA to EPA at a rate of up to 30%, compared to a typical conversion rate of ALA of 3-6%. Thus much larger quantities of ALA oils (such as flaxseed shown below) are required to achieve the same benefit. COMPARISON OF EPA LEVELS Ahiflower Oil Flaxseed Oil Omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA) in Ahiflower Oil converts more efficiently in circulating cells in our bodies to long-chain omega-3 EPA found most often in algal and fish oil. Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is found in many plant oils like flax, chia, perilla, and sacha inchi, however they lack any SDA. Ahiflower Oil has the highest commercially-available SDA content from a single non-gmo plant.
