Benexia® Xia Oil: New Findings on ALA and Omega-3 Conversion

Benexia® Xia Oil is the richest vegan source of Alpha Linolenic Acid found in Nature. New research on ALA redefines the pathways of Omega-3 metabolism highlighting the role of ALA as a game changer. Dr Richard Bazinet, leading expert in omega-3s has investigated how omega-3 levels are measured in the body to understand EPA and DHA biosynthesis and ALA’s role, uncovering the kinetics of lipid metabolism.

By shifting how Omega-3 levels are measured, from traditional method (Omega-3 Index) to Omega-3 CSIA (dynamic tracking method), findings suggest that regardless of the amount of DHA/EPA supplemented, adding ALA to the diet ensures the body synthesises and utilises the right levels of DHA and EPA to meet metabolic demand.

Alongside Alpha Linoleic Acid, Benexia® Xia Oil contains Omega-6 Linoleic Acid, Omega-9 Oleic Acid, and antioxidants and nutrients from chia seeds. Incorporating Benexia® Xia Oil into your next formulation ensures a natural, balanced Vegan Omega-3,6,9 combination while supporting sustainability commitments. Benexia® Xia Oil is cultivated through regenerative agriculture and eco-friendly practices, including cold pressing without chemical solvents or diluents, and a 100% electrical, water-free production process.
