"A New Generation in Superior Plant-Based Omegas Ahiflower oil is the richest and most effective combined Omega-3 (SDA and ALA) and Omega-6 (GLA and LA) fatty acid source from a single non-GMO plant found in nature. While there are many sources of plant based Omega-3 ALA such as flax, chia, sacha inchi seed and hemp seed oil, these seeds do not offer optimal conversion to EPA. Unlike these seed oils, Ahiflower® oil is the richest source of SDA (Stearidonic Acid), which converts more efficiently to the Omega 3 fatty acid EPA that is found in fish oil. A human clinical trial found that Ahiflower® oil has up to a 3-4 times greater EPA conversion rate than flax seed oil. Ahiflower® oil also contains beneficial Omega 6 Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA). A true Omega 3 + Omega 6 powerhouse with ALA, SDA and GLA, delivering a healthy 3.5 to 1 balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6, Ahiflower® oil is the most eco-conscious, sustainable way to get the benefits of EPA found in fish oil from a vegan, plant-based source.
Each bottle contains 3.4 fl oz (100ml) of Ahiflower® oil"
A True SDA Powerhouse Flax seed, chia seed and sacha inchi seed oils only contain ALA but no SDA. Hemp seed oil contains small amounts of SDA. Unlike these ALA-rich plant seed oils, Ahiflower® oil contains rich amounts of SDA. With over 18% SDA and 40% ALA, Ahiflower® oil provides the most ideal plant-based form of Omega-3 for optimal bio-availability and conversion to EPA. Conversion of SDA to EPA is much higher than ALA, making it a more effective plant-based source for obtaining longer chain Omega-3s such as EPA. The conversion of ALA to EPA is approximately 5% whereas SDA is converted to EPA with greater efficiency at approximately 30%.
A Healthy Source Of Beneficial GLA Ahiflower® oil also provides over 5% of the anti-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acid Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). Fish oil, flax seed, chia seed and sacha inchi seed do not contain this beneficial fatty acid. While hemp seed oil does contain GLA, Ahiflower® oil is a superior source. Ahiflower® oil is a true Omega 3 + Omega 6 powerhouse with ALA, SDA and GLA, delivering a healthy 3.5 to 1 balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6.
