What’s in Phyto EFA?

Unlike other omega supplements, Phyto EFA is a blend of Ahiflower® seed oil and algal oil, making it plant-based, non-GMO, and vegan. The Ahiflower® seed oil comes from the Buglossoides arvensis plant, a traditional wildflower in the borage family commonly known as stoneseed. This oil was chosen because it contains the highest amount of stearidonic acid (SDA) of any plant source. It is this unique blend of Ahiflower® seed oil and algal oil that allows Phyto EFA to provide these five forms of EFAs: alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA), gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Together, these forms help maintain normal function of the brain, heart, reproductive organs, immune system, and inflammatory response.
