Nutraceuticals World: Ahiflower Replaces Key Tissue DHA in Mice Comparably to Marine DHA

Prof. Richard Bazinet, Assistant Prof. Adam Metherel, and their research team found that brain DHA synthesis and turnover rates in mice that were fed Ahiflower® oil were not statistically different than in mice which were fed a purified marine DHA-only oil. This animal study provides preliminary evidence that Ahiflower oil, despite containing zero DHA, may be efficient in forming DHA in tissues where mammal bodies naturally synthesize it, store it, or deploy it from this plant-based omega.
