Is there something fishy about your Omegas?
Fishing causes environmental havoc and is a leading contributor to climate change.
Personal and planetary wellness is fundamentally aligned — perhaps no more strongly than in Omega-3 nutrition.
Did you know?
We can expect virtually fishless oceans by 2048
If things carry on the way they are, we can expect virtually fishless oceans. This has terrifying implications for the ecosystem and welcomes in the worst effects of climate change.
But let's just stop using plastic strawers?
Fishing itself is contributing hugely to plastic in the ocean; 46% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is fishing nets. Plastic straws actually only constitute 0.03% of plastic in the ocean; if we really care about the oceans, we stop commercial fishing.
For each metric tonne of fish biomass harvested, only 10kg of commercial EPA/DHA oil is produced.
By contrast, Ahiflower® produces the equivalent amount of naturally synthesised EPA/DHA, competitively from only 1/10th hectare of non-GM, regeneratively cultivated farmland.
Ahiflower® (Buglossoides arvensis seed oil) isn’t just sustainable- it’s regeneratively grown, adding valuable biodiversity to the land it’s grown on and providing good habitat for bees and butterflies.
As the world shifts to regenerative nutrition, each acre of Ahiflower® produces as much omega rich oil as 500,000 anchovies!
Essential fatty acids are essential- destroying the planet to get them isn’t.
“Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea."

Ahiflower® is the kinder choice

Ahiflower® offers a sustainable, vegan, complete and well balanced Omega 3-6-9 oil
Humans have well understood and genetically determined metabolic pathways for converting plant-based omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid intakes from essential ALA and LA- or their elongated metabolites SDA and GLA- to longer chain fatty acids. Humans can produce all the EPA and DHA their bodies need; whilst fish stocks simply cannot meet minimum intake recommendations of EPA and DHA for 8+ billion people.
