There is a 4:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 in Ahiflower oil, which supports a heart-healthy dietary intake (including low carbohydrates and saturated fats). Most published health resources including the American Heart Association state that increasing the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is ideal in the Western diet, which tends to predominate in omega-6 and/or saturated fats. Unfortunately, the typical Western diet doesn’t provide enough omega-3 fatty acid sources to improve the omega-3:6 ratio, especially for vegetarians who prefer not to eat fish. Consuming Ahiflower oil as part of a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle will help increase one’s omega-3: omega-6 ratio.
