Plant-based Ahiflower oil supports a whole-body anti-inflammatory response — the opposite of industrial seed oils.

  • A cold-pressed, lightly refined oil from Buglossoides arvensis seeds —
    NOT a high-LA industrial seed oil

  • Low omega-6 LA content — comparable to olive & avocado oils 

  • Good anti-inflammatory GLA content

  • Highest omega-3 content (65%) — helps balance the impacts of high-
    LA industrial seed oils in the diet

It’s about balancing omega-3 and omega-6 intakes. Higher omega-3 is good.
Misguided influencers are confusing negative health effects of industrial seed oils(soy, canola, corn, sunflower, etc) with anti-inflammatory omega-3 seed oils (flax,chia, Ahiflower) — this is metabolically incorrect.

Fatty Acids in Ahiflower® Oil vs. Common Seed Oils

Ahiflower®– Anti-Inflammatory Human Evidence

In a recent triple-crossover human study in healthy subjects with high LA levels, Ahiflower oil tripled EPA levels,
raising anti-inflammatory metabolites (oxylipins) and lowering pro-inflammatory ones in 20 days.

“Plant-derived ahiflower oil efficiently increases plasma
EPA and corresponding eicosanoids and causes a distinct
shift in the entire oxylipin pattern.”

Seidel et al 2024

“Ahiflower oil, a renewable plant sourced ω-3 PUFA-
rich oil, may have similar anti-inflammatory potential
seenwith fish oil supplementation.”

Laevski et al 2024
