In the search for clean, sustainable omega-3 nutrition, one plant stands out above the rest: Ahiflower® (Buglossoides arvensis). Grown regeneratively in the UK and now available in Australia and New Zealand through PhytoLove, Ahiflower is setting new benchmarks for environmental stewardship and nutritional integrity. But what makes it so unique—and why are so many health-conscious and eco-aware individuals turning to it? Let’s take a closer look at the science.

A Naturally Rich Omega Profile

Ahiflower oil is extracted from the seeds of Buglossoides arvensis, a hardy, non-GMO crop that grows with minimal need for synthetic inputs. What makes Ahiflower exceptional is its naturally broad spectrum of essential fatty acids:

  • ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) – a short-chain omega-3 essential for baseline nutritional needs
  • SDA (stearidonic acid) – a rare omega-3 found in very few plants, and a direct precursor to EPA
  • GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) – a beneficial omega-6 fatty acid known for its role in supporting skin and cellular health

Most plant-based omega-3 sources offer only ALA, which must be converted in the body to longer-chain fatty acids like EPA. This conversion is often inefficient. However, SDA—found in Ahiflower—bypasses one of the most important limited steps in this process, converting to EPA more effectively and making Ahiflower a superior plant-based source.

Science-Backed Efficacy

Several clinical studies have explored Ahiflower’s unique fatty acid composition and metabolic effects:

  • A 2016 double-blind study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that Ahiflower supplementation significantly increased circulating EPA levels—up to four times more than flaxseed oil, which contains only ALA.
  • Additional research has shown that Ahiflower’s SDA content contributes to more consistent omega-3 status among individuals with reduced enzymatic conversion capacity, such as those with metabolic concerns or aging populations.

These studies underscore Ahiflower’s value as a next-generation omega source for those seeking greater reliability from plant-based supplements.

Sustainability Without Compromise

What truly sets Ahiflower apart is its environmental profile. Unlike fish and krill oil, which are tied to overfishing, bycatch, and marine ecosystem disruption, Ahiflower is grown entirely using regenerative farming practices that:

  • Promote soil health and carbon sequestration
  • Require minimal water input
  • Avoid pesticide-intensive monocultures
  • Support pollinators and biodiversity

This means that Ahiflower delivers high nutritional value without placing pressure on our oceans—something increasingly important in a warming, resource-constrained world.

A Future-Ready Omega for Australia and New Zealand

As awareness of ocean sustainability grows, so too does the demand for truly sustainable omega-3 alternatives. At PhytoLove, we are proud to offer Ahiflower as a clean, science-backed option that aligns with both health and environmental values.

Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply eco-conscious, Ahiflower brings innovation to your wellness routine without compromise.

Sustainably grown, nutritionally complete, and scientifically validated—Ahiflower is setting the new standard for plant-based omegas.
