Overview

Ahiflower SAP offers a highly effective plant-based solution for increasing plasma EPA levels due to its rich content of Stearidonic Acid (SDA). While it provides a balanced omega profile, its ability to significantly increase DHA is limited compared to marine sources. The inclusion of GLA contributes to anti-inflammatory benefits.

The Good

Excellent plant-based source of Omega-3 (ALA and SDA) making it ideal for vegans/vegetarians.

High concentration of Stearidonic Acid (SDA) efficiently converts to EPA, bypassing inefficient metabolic steps for other plant-based omega-3s.

Provides beneficial Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) for anti-inflammatory support.

The Bad

Does not significantly increase DHA levels, which are important for brain and eye health and typically obtained from marine sources.

Liquid format might have a noticeable taste or odor for some users.

Higher cost compared to some basic flaxseed or ALA-only supplements.
