Healthy fats are a trending ingredient in the food industry, the most popular being omega-3 fat. These fats are found in foods such as fatty fish, chia and flax seeds as well as dietary supplements like fish oil.

The three main omega-3 fats are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is found mainly in plant oils such as chia, flaxseed, soybean, and canola oils. DHA and EPA are found in fatty fish and other seafood.

Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is considered part of a healthy diet.  ALA is the only omega-3 that is considered biologically an ‘essential’ fatty acid because the body can’t make it on its own. We must get it from the diet.

BENEXIA^®  XIA OIL

Benexia^® Xia Oil is a 100% natural cold-pressed oil with the largest omega-3 concentration of any edible oil.  Over 63% of its composition is made up of ALA omega-3 fat. It also contains bioactive substances including antioxidants, tocopherols and phytosterols, that improve the oxidative stability allowing us to offer a nutritionally unique vegetable oil.

The omega-3:omega-6 ratio is very important for heart health. Using our oil can help you achieve the ideal balance of fat in your product. There’s also evidence that Xia Oil supports the immune system, is anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective, and promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails. And because it is plant-based, there is no fishy aftertaste.

Benexia^® Xia Oil is ideal for vegetarians and vegans. Made from sustainably sourced, superior-quality seeds, it is keto-friendly and non-GMO certified.

BENEXIA^® ALA POWDER

Benexia^® Xia Oil is also available in a powder format. The ALA Powder^® is a chia microencapsulated oil and an excellent source of omega-3 ALA fat.  It retains all of the oxidative stability and sensory attributes of our oil.

ALA powder is intended for liquid or powder application, where it is not otherwise possible to add oil.  For applications where a lipid basis is feasible, we recommend our xia oil as it  has a higher omega-3 concentration.
