CoreFX’s 70GA Dry Ahiflower® Oil offers the benefits of the oil in a convenient and clean-tasting powder form, opening up opportunities to formulate complete and balanced omegas into dry protein powders, nutrition blends, and more.

Ahiflower oil, an exclusive product of Natures Crops International, is the proprietary, lightly refined seed oil from the plant Buglossoides arvensis. Ahiflower seed oil is uniquely rich in omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA) and omega-6 gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Consuming Ahiflower oil supports heart, brain, skin, and immune health, supplying all the plant-based omegas needed for optimal wellness.

“We are thrilled to bring allergen-free, dry Ahiflower oil to the market. This innovative powder form offers formulators the opportunity to meet consumer demand by creating products with a smooth and rich mouthfeel without compromising end-user product sensory attributes,” said Micah Osborne, CEO at Stratum Nutrition.

“We are very excited by CoreFX’s efforts to innovate an industry-leading, highly versatile Ahiflower oil delivery system with a 70% oil payload,” said Andrew Hebard, Natures Crops’ CEO. “This brings superb value to brands and formulators looking to incorporate complete and balanced plant-based omega nutrition into under-represented categories like protein powders, meal replacement powders, and the like.”

“This collaboration with both Natures Crops and Stratum Nutrition has been inspiring for everyone involved and shows what can be achieved when like-minded organizations and cultures get together to do something great. Everyone at CoreFX is excited about the launch of this unique licensed ingredient that we believe will make a significant positive difference in the world of nutrition,” said Denis Neville, CEO and founder at CoreFX Ingredients.
