- Product Features
- A choice of 80 mg DHA also delivering >500 mg plant-based omega-3-6-9 per gram.
- >5:1 omega-3:6 ratio — excellent for dietary fat rebalancing.
- Access to FDA and EU allowed omega-3 ALA nutrient content claims.
- Contains omega-6 GLA — not present in typical marine or algal oils.
- 24 months of shelf stability at industry-leading PV levels.
- Product Highlights
- Ahiflower 80DHA™ oils each contain a nutritionally complete fatty acid profile, created with human and planetary health in mind. We combined regenerative agricultural practices with fish-free DHA to create an all-in-one omega-3 solution that’s both sustainable and traceable back to the farms from which it was grown.
- Combining land and sea omega-3s has both health and sustainability benefits - every 1 kg of the Ahiflower 80DHA™ keeps 2800 fish in the sea!.
- Leveraging the superior oxidative stability of both Ahiflower and Algarithm DHA oils, formulating new, category-differentiating plant-based food and beverage products is much easier than from comparable marine omega-3 sources and more cost-effective than from typical algal DHA sources.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Health Science Summary
Published clinical science has established:
- Ahiflower oil boosts circulating EPA up to 4x more efficiently than flaxseed oil. (Fig. 1)
- Ahiflower is the richest combined source of antiinflammatory omega-3 SDA & omega-6 GLA.
- Ahiflower oil upregulates the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 which is part of the body’s natural response to intensive exercise and/or seasonal immune challenge.
- Ahiflower boosts other anti-inflammatory omega metabolites including ETA & DGLA which are not enhanced by consuming typical fish oil.
- Ahiflower boosts live probiotic survival into the small intestine up to 2x vs probiotics alone.
- Ahiflower oil converts efficiently to circulating DHA in mammals4. (Fig. 2)
- Algal DHA is a vegan source of omega-3 DHA and is a key building block of human organs. As a structural component of brain, retina, testis, and sperm, DHA functions are linked to proper tissue growth. Therefore, DHA needs to be supplied in sufficient amounts during early human development and growth.
- Some investigations have shown a progressive deterioration of maternal DHA status during pregnancy, possibly indicating that the mother’s capacity to meet the high fetal requirement for DHA is working at its limit and may even be inadequate. Therefore, an additional amount of DHA is recommended for lactating and pregnant women with an increasing amount from first to second trimester of pregnancy.
Ahiflower boosts circulating plasma EPA up to 4x more efficiently vs flaxseed oil and has preliminary evidence of efficient DHA biosynthesis (comparable to marine DHA) in mice.
