Ahiflower® and Omega-3 SDA Science Resources

  • Ahiflower, Combined with DHA, Supports Pregnant Mothers & Promotes Full-term Pregnancies

    Recent international guidance based on compelling trial evidence favors consumption of omega-3 LC-PUFAs (EPA + DHA) to protect women of childbearing age and during pregnancy from PTB and ePTB.

  • Ahiflower Forms Key Tissue DHA Efficiently

    Blood and tissue docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) turnover rates from Ahiflower® oil are not different than from DHA ethyl ester oil in a diet switch mouse model

  • Ahiflower Boosts EPA Levels & Anti-inflammatory Status Efficiently

    Stearidonic acid improves eicosapentaenoic acid status: studies in humans and cultured hepatocytes

  • Ahiflower Recognized as Sustainable Omega-3 alternative to Fish Oil

    Alternative sources of bioactive omega-3 fatty acids: what are the options?

  • Ahiflower has Comparable Joint/Mobility Effects as Fish Oil

    Dietary omega-3 fatty acids modulate the production of platelet-derived microvesicles in an in vivo inflammatory arthritis model

  • Ahiflower is a Recognized Anti-neuroinflammatory Synergist in Boosting Cognitive Performance

    A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of a Novel Dietary Supplement on Standardized CNS Vital Signs Cognitive Performance Parameters in Adults

  • Ahiflower Supports Gut Microbiome Balance & Promotes Overall Anti-inflammatory Status

    Novel lipid emulsion for total parenteral nutrition based on 18-carbon n–3 fatty acids elicits a superior immunometabolic phenotype in a murine model compared with standard lipid emulsions

  • Ahiflower Boosts Live Probiotic Survival into the Small Intestine

    Survival of a probiotic-containing product using capsule-within-capsule technology in an in vitro model of the stomach and small intestine (TIM-1)

  • Ahiflower Supports Healthy Inflammation Response and Post-exercise Recovery

    Dietary omega-3 PUFA and health: stearidonic acid-containing seed oils as effective and sustainable alternatives to traditional marine oils

  • Ahiflower Raises EPA up to 4x More Efficiently than Flaxseed Oil

    Consumption of Buglossoides arvensis seed oil is safe and increases tissue long-chain n-3 fatty acid content more than flax seed oil – results of a phase I randomised clinical trial

  • Dietary SDA Sources Boost Anti-inflammatory Metabolites not Found in EPA/DHA Sources

    5-lipoxygenase-dependent biosynthesis of novel 20:4 n-3 metabolites with anti-inflammatory activity

  • ALA+SDA Status Drives Fluid Intelligence & Brain Integrity in Healthy Seniors, not EPA/DHA

    Determinants of fluid intelligence in healthy aging: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid status and frontoparietal cortex structure

  • SDA has Similar Anti-inflammatory Cell-signaling Properties as DHA

    Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Stearidonic Acid Mediated by Suppression of NF-κB and MAP-Kinase Pathways in Macrophages

  • Dietary Pre-formed DHA Does not Significantly ‘Retro-convert’ to Higher EPA Status

    Compound-specific isotope analysis reveals no retroconversion of DHA to EPA but substantial conversion of EPA to DHA following supplementation: a randomized control trial

  • Ahiflower Oil Promotes Favorable Gut-microbiome Effects & Gut-brain Axis Wellness

    Human gut microbiota and their production of endocannabinoid-like mediators are directly affected by a dietary oil
