Ahiflower® Vegetable Omega 60 softgels YAMAMOTO

VEGETAL OMEGA is the most innovative source of precious essential fatty acids of plant origin, obtained from "AHIFLOWER Oil", or Buglossoides arvensis seed oil under the patented Ahiflower® brand. AHIFLOWER oil is the richest plant-based source of omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA), a metabolic intermediate in the conversion of ALA to EPA, known today on the market. It also contains omega-6 gamma linolenic acid (GLA), in an optimal balance for maintaining the physiological functions of the body in which they are so crucially involved. Stearidonic acid (SDA), found in abundance, is a metabolic intermediate in the conversion of ALA to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is involved in various physiological processes essential for the proper functioning of the body. In this case, its conversion is 3-4 times higher than the most common plant-based omega-3 form from flaxseed oil, as it bypasses an enzymatic process (it does not require the intervention of the liver enzyme delta-6-desaturase), typical of the bioavailability of plant-based omega-3 sources. Its subsequent conversion to EPA is then much easier and more effective, at a rate of up to 30%, compared to a typical ALA conversion rate of 3-6% (see, for example, flaxseed). Ahiflower oil, a source of stearidonic acid (SDA), is then broken down and converted into docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the two types of omega-3s found in high concentrations in fish oil. DHA is a primary structural component of the brain, skin, and retina, while EPA is known to help balance cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Unlike the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in most plant-based sources such as flaxseed, hemp, or chia seed oil, AHIFLOWER oil is the highest source of the omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA), providing approximately 60% more of this valuable intermediate fatty acid compound (SDA) than echium oil and 6-10 times more than hemp seed oil.

Developed through careful natural selection and the most innovative agronomy of the last ten years, Ahiflower oil is now the richest and most effective balanced source of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids combined in a single plant, characterized by a very high concentration of omega-3 in SDA and ALA for +62%, GLA and LA (omega 6) for 18%, and oleic acid for 6-14% as omega 9. This balance of omega-3 compared to omega-6, with a ratio of approximately 4:1, is optimal, where in addition to the beneficial properties of omega-3, more than confirmed by science, we find the support of omega-6 in a correct intake, together with the support of omega-9.

VEGETABLE OMEGA is the most effective plant-based alternative to essential fatty acid sources. It is odor-free, free from digestive issues, and can be taken by vegetarians and vegans, as well as by those who are intolerant to animal sources. Thanks to Ahiflower®, VEGETABLE OMEGA provides the best, most efficient plant-based version of omega-3, 6, and 9, providing a revolutionary new alternative that is more bioavailable than other plant-based sources. It comes from sustainable, traceable crops, and is more effective than traditional plant-based omega-3 oils such as flaxseed, chia, and canola. It can also be used as a valid replacement for conventional omega-3s from fish oil, in cases of intolerance.
