The naturally high unsaturated fatty acid content can impart an aroma characteristic of ALA-rich oils in certain applications. All crops are closelymonitored and then processed to demanding standards to comply with Natures Crops'proprietary Crop Assured 365® system of quality control and traceability protocols. Ahiflower is stabilized with an all-natural, non-GMO antioxidant.

Ahiflower® is a proprietary, refined seed oil from the plant Buglossoides arvensis, in the Boraginaceae family. Ahiflower oil contains more biologically advanced omegas than any other natural plant source. It is the richest naturally-occurring source of stearidonic acid (SDA) and an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Ahiflower oil is a powerful single-plant source of non-GM omegas with up to 3.5:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6.
Ahiflower omega oil offers consumers an optimum choice for cardiovascular, brain, skin, joint & immune support.SDA is the product of ALA metabolism in the liver. People process ALA with varying efficiencies, some quite poorly depending on how much of the enzyme delta-6 desaturase they have available. Since SDA bypasses this rate-limiting step entirely, it is converted much more efficiently to longer chain omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA. Flaxseed and chia oils, for example, are rich in ALA but contain no SDA. Confirming this, a recent randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled human clinical trial demonstrated that Ahiflower oil is converted to EPA up to 4X more efficiently than flaxseed oil. This is the power of SDA.
