While conventional fish \u003cbr\u003eoil supplements provide a good source of EPA and DHA, the two \u003cbr\u003emost important essential fatty acids in humans, sourcing these \u003cbr\u003ekey nutrients from fish comes with numerous disadvantages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot only has the fish oil industry contributed largely to overfishing, \u003cbr\u003edepleting wild stocks and threatening marine ecosystems \u003cbr\u003eworldwide, many of the fish species used in supplements are \u003cbr\u003econtaminated by pollution, and have become a concentrated \u003cbr\u003esource of toxins including PCBs and heavy metals. In addition, \u003cbr\u003ethe process of extracting oils from fish may not be as clean and \u003cbr\u003esimple as extraction from plant-based sources. Patients who \u003cbr\u003eare concerned with toxic exposures and environmental health, \u003cbr\u003eas well as those who choose vegan lifestyles or have difficulty \u003cbr\u003etolerating the taste of fish, present problems to practitioners \u003cbr\u003eseeking to offer the extraordinary benefits of essential fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther proposed solutions have been algae-based oils, which \u003cbr\u003emay contain EPA and DHA but are cost-prohibitive \u003cbr\u003eto many patients and do not avoid the problems of \u003cbr\u003emarine pollution and environmental impact, as large scale production requires cultivation in ocean waters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile plant-based sources of essential fats solve \u003cbr\u003emany of these problems, most plant oils, including \u003cbr\u003eflaxseed, only supply omega-3 ALA, which must be \u003cbr\u003econverted to EPA and DHA in the body. Research \u003cbr\u003esuggests that only 8% of dietary ALA may be \u003cbr\u003econverted to EPA under normal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT’S IN IT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnergique Ahiflower Omega 3-6-9 provides a solution to \u003cbr\u003eessential fatty acid supplementation that is made from completely \u003cbr\u003eplant-based ingredients, while offering superior benefits to \u003cbr\u003eflaxseed and other oils. Its key benefits come from the novel \u003cbr\u003euse of Ahiflower (Buglossoides arvensis) seed oil as a source \u003cbr\u003eof ALA and SDA, a lesser-known omega-3 fatty acid. As the \u003cbr\u003ebest dietary source of stearidonic acid (SDA), a precursor to \u003cbr\u003eEPA and intermediate in its conversion from ALA in the human \u003cbr\u003ebody, Ahiflower oil is converted to EPA more efficiently than \u003cbr\u003eother plant sources of omega-3, and is scientifically proven to \u003cbr\u003eraise tissue EPAs levels more effectively than flaxseed oil . In \u003cbr\u003eaddition to being non-GMO and regeneratively grown, Ahiflower \u003cbr\u003eoil is also a source of omega-6 GLA, which is not available in \u003cbr\u003esignificant amounts from any marine or algae-based source.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to providing 1400mg of omega-3 ALA, 565mg \u003cbr\u003eof omega-3 SDA, 150mg of omega-6 GLA, and 200mg \u003cbr\u003eof omega-9 oleic acid per single teaspoon serving, the \u003cbr\u003eproduct’s additional ingredients include organic lime and \u003cbr\u003eorange essential oils and organic stevia leaf extract, for a \u003cbr\u003enatural flavor profile that is free of harmful additives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Energique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46856831500514,"sku":"EN-AHI","price":16.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/8707\/1066\/files\/AHIFLOWER_OMEGA_3-6-9_4oz_TP_dlk__03058.1680638891.386.513.png?v=1758198280","url":"https:\/\/mhpvitamins.com\/products\/energique-ahi-flower-omega-369-4-oz","provider":"Mountain States Health Products Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
