EPA and DHA: The most important omega-3 fatty acids and the role of Ahiflower

EPA and DHA contribute to various bodily functions, including

• Cardiovascular health: EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function at a daily intake of 250 mg.
• Brain function: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.  
• Vision: DHA supports normal vision.

While EPA and DHA are mainly found in marine sources such as fish and algae, Ahiflower® offers a plant-based way to supply the body with precursors of these essential fatty acids. Ahiflower® contains stearidonic acid (SDA), which can be converted into EPA more efficiently than conventional alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from flax or chia seeds.

• Plant-based & sustainable: Extracted from the Buglossoides arvensis plant, ideal for vegan or vegetarian diets.
• More efficient conversion: Contains SDA, which the body converts into EPA more easily than ALA from other plant sources.  
• Fish odour free: No oxidation or unpleasant taste as with fish oil.

EPA and DHA are essential omega-3 fatty acids with important health functions. While fish oil is the best-known source, Ahiflower® offers a plant-based way of supplying the body with these valuable nutrients. Anyone looking for a sustainable alternative to conventional fish oil will find an innovative solution in Ahiflower®.
