Ahiflower oil, derived from the seeds of the Buglossoides arvensis plant, offers a unique and superior plant-based alternative to traditional omega sources. Packed with an ideal balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, Ahiflower oil is scientifically proven to support cardiovascular, neurological, and inflammatory health. Unlike many plant-based oils that are disproportionately high in omega-6 fatty acids, Ahiflower oil provides an ideal 4:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6. This balance is crucial for maintaining systemic harmony and reducing the risk of chronic inflammation, a common concern in modern diets that are often overly rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
Ahiflower oil is also exceptionally rich in stearidonic acid (SDA), a potent omega-3 fatty acid that is efficiently converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the body. EPA is a critical precursor for anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, which play a vital role in reducing inflammation and supporting cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that SDA from Ahiflower oil converts to EPA up to four times more efficiently than alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the primary omega-3 fatty acid found in flaxseed oil. This enhanced conversion rate ensures maximum anti-inflammatory and heart health benefits from each dose.
In addition to its rich SDA content, Ahiflower oil is an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. GLA is a precursor to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which are metabolized into anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. These compounds help modulate the body’s inflammatory response, making Ahiflower oil particularly beneficial for patients dealing with chronic inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis and eczema.
AOR’s Ahiflower oil is not only nutritionally superior but also environmentally sustainable. It is grown without genetic modification and is entirely plant-based, making it an excellent choice for vegan and vegetarian patients seeking a sustainable source of essential fatty acids.
