Ahiflower®+DHA Wins Ingredient Idol People’s Choice Award at SSW2023
In 2018 a key literature review paper recognized that long chain omega-3 fatty acids can be considered functional prebiotics for their role in restoring gut microbiome balance and maintaining intestinal integrity.
Starting a few years ago, a very passionate team got together to develop and then distribute the plant-based, regeneratively grown, and fully traceable Ahiflower®+DHA oil platform.
Alongside Algarithm, NCI shares our LOVE for this platform’s scientifically-backed ability to achieve overall gut microbiome balance, support the gut-brain axis, and potentiate an anti-inflammatory phenotype in this miraculous, coevolved ‘ecosystem within us’.
Consumers are seeking ways to feel better, look better, and naturally avoid the recognized effects of omega-3 deficiency playing out in the gut — impacting our mood, our energy, our focus, our bowel health, and our immune resilience.
Major brands are seeking innovative plant-based gut wellness solutions with science-backed claims for category differentiation.
The Ahiflower+DHA platform offers a new approach: move upstream of gut dysbiosis challenges by feeding our gut microbiomes with the richest, most diverse array of anti-inflammatory oxylipin precursors and their metabolites uniquely available from Ahiflower+DHA — namely ALA, SDA, ETA, EPA, DPA & DHA on the omega-3 side and GLA & DGLA on the omega-6 side.
What does the published science say?
• Ahiflower oil boosts anti-inflammatory IL-10 in the gut and circulating cells*
• Ahiflower oil boosts live probiotic survival up to 2x into the small intestine*
• Ahiflower’s fatty acids favorably shifted the Bacteroides>Firmicutes balance in a 3-month randomized human intervention trial while lowering total cholesterol*
• Ahiflower has superior anti-neuroinflammatory activity in the brain’s microglial cells — better than EPA or DHA*
• All complemented by DHA’s well-documented role in supporting gut microbiome balance & intestinal integrity*
To top it off, Ahiflower+DHA is also the most food-friendly, clean sensory, and oxidatively stable omega-rich platform — available now in great-tasting liquid, softgel, powder, and gummy formats.
Now is a great time for brands and co-manufacturers to bring Ahiflower+DHA products forward into the gut-brain-immune wellness category!
