Ahiflower oil is derived from the seeds of the Buglossoides arvensis herb, which is a hedgerow plant in the Boraginaceae family. Once considered a weed in Europe and several countries in Asia, this herb is now grown sustainably as an agricultural crop valued for its remarkable oil and nutritional content.
The ahiflower plant gets its name from its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which is comparable to the oils from fatty fish, such as the ahi tuna. In fact, it is considered to be the richest non-fish source of omega fatty acids on the planet. Two of the most important and common types of omega-3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). While these fatty acids are more commonly found in fish sources, ahiflower oil contains stearidonic acid (SDA), which is also more readily and more efficiently converted into DHA and EPA than oils sourced from plants such as flax, chia, hemp, perilla, sancha inchi and echium.
Ahiflower oil’s true edge over other plant-based oils, however, is its impressive, uniquely balanced combination of essential omega fatty acids. Aside of omega-3 fatty acids, ahiflower oil also contains the omega-6 fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and the omega-9 fatty acid, oleic acid (OA). This means that when you take ahiflower oil supplements, such as Chief Originals® Ahiflower Oil Softgels, you get the optimal amount of omega fatty acids necessary to sustain your body’s overall health and wellness.

What can omega-rich ahiflower oil do for you?**
The abundance of dietary fats in ahiflower oil allows it to offer a number of important health benefits:
Supports healthy cardiovascular function – Ahiflower oil is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, such as SDA and ALA. Your body can efficiently metabolize the SDA in ahiflower into DHA and EPA, which supports healthy cardiovascular function. Ahiflower oil also contains omega-9 fatty acids that can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.
Supports healthy eye function - A 2019 meta-analysis from the journal Cornea indicated that taking omega-3 supplements can help keep your eyes moisturized and well-lubricated. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain healthy tear film, which then protects your eyes if you’re often working on a computer.
Supports healthy immune function – Separate studies from the journal Nutrients and the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggest that fatty acids such as DHA and EPA support the healthy function of the immune system. According to researchers, this means that the DHA and EPA in ahiflower oil can help support the body’s natural immune defenses.
Supports healthy cognitive performance and mental well-being – According to a study that appeared in the journal Integrative Medicine, ahiflower oil is one of the most balanced natural sources of GLA and SDA – both of which can help support a healthy brain and nervous system.
Supports the growth of healthy skin – According to a study that was published in the journal Integrative Medicine, the omega-3 fatty acids in ahiflower oil can help keep your skin supple and moisturized. This is because your body needs omega-3 fatty acids to maintain the optimal hydration and integrity of the skin’s outer layer.
Supports healthy bones and joints – Ahiflower oil contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids that support the growth of strong and healthy bones. In addition, it also contains the omega-6 fatty acids GLA and SDA, which help maintain healthy joints and mobility.
Naturally elevates your mood – According to a study that was published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, the regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA – both of which are present in ahiflower oil – can support a positive mood.
