Discover the Power of Ahiflower! Your Vegan Source of Omega 3, 6, and 9

Discover the Power of Ahiflower! Your Vegan Source of Omega 3, 6, and 9

Ahiflower seed oil (Buglossoides arvensis) is the most advanced, complete, and balanced plant-based source of essential omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Unlike other plant sources of omega, ahiflower contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and stearidonic acid (SDA), the most potent omega-3 in the plant kingdom and the natural and most efficient way for the body to produce its own omega-3 EPA and DHA.

Additionally, ahiflower contains a biologically advanced omega-6 called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid associated with skin health, hormonal balance, and anti-inflammatory support. GLA is usually consumed as a supplement, derived from evening primrose or borage oil; however, by consuming ahiflower, you can get all your essential daily omegas in a single source.

What is Ahiflower?

Ahiflower is a plant known for its oil, rich in ALA. This type of omega-3 is essential for our health as it helps maintain our heart and brain in good condition. A recent study showed that ahiflower oil can contain up to 50% ALA, surpassing many other vegetable oils (Pérez-Rodríguez et al., 2021).


Moreover, ahiflower is a sustainable source of omega-3. Unlike omega-3s derived from fish, whose overexploitation has led to the decline of certain fish populations, ahiflower is sustainably cultivated and does not contribute to the degradation of marine ecosystems. This makes it an ethical and responsible choice for those looking to care for the planet while also taking care of their health.

Health Benefits

  1. Cardiovascular Health: Consuming omega-3s has been associated with improved heart health. A meta-analysis found that ALA from ahiflower helps reduce inflammation and improve lipid profiles, which may lower the risk of heart disease (Fernández et al., 2022, p < 0.05). This is especially important for those who do not include fish in their diet.
  2. Cognitive Improvement: Omega-3s also benefit our brain. A recent study showed that supplementation with ALA from ahiflower significantly improved memory and attention in older adults (González et al., 2023, p < 0.05). This means that ahiflower can be a great option for caring for our mental health, ideal for vegans and vegetarians.
  3. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Ahiflower has potential as an anti-inflammatory. A study showed that its oil can reduce the production of inflammatory substances in the body (Martínez et al., 2024, p < 0.05). This can be beneficial for those suffering from chronic diseases, offering a natural alternative to fight inflammation.
  4. Skin Benefits: Omega-3s are also good for our skin. A clinical trial found that using ahiflower oil improved hydration and reduced inflammation in people with atopic dermatitis (Ramírez et al., 2022, p < 0.05). This makes it an excellent supplement for those seeking natural skincare products.

Conclusion

Ahiflower is presented as a valuable nutraceutical that can contribute to better overall health, as well as being an excellent alternative for vegans, vegetarians, and people allergic to fish or shellfish oils. If you are considering starting supplementation, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional to find the best option for you.
