New Additions to Our Portfolio: Star Arvensis Oil™ and Camelina Oil
At De Wit Speciality Oils, we are constantly expanding our product portfolio to bring high-quality, plant-based oils to our customers. We are thrilled to announce two exciting oils: Star Arvensis Oil™, coming soon, and Camelina Oil, which has recently joined our assortment and is already available for purchase.
Star Arvensis Oil™ is a premium plant-based oil extracted from the seeds of Buglossoides arvensis, known for its exceptional and well-balanced fatty acid profile. Unlike most vegetable oils, it naturally contains three key fatty acids: Stearidonic Acid (SDA), a highly efficient omega-3 that converts to EPA in the body, Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), and Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), providing a unique synergy of both omega-3 and omega-6.
This rare combination supports cardiovascular health, metabolic function, skin integrity, and immune balance, making it an attractive ingredient for nutritional and functional formulations. In addition, Star Arvensis Oil offers excellent oxidative stability and consistent quality, making it both highly effective and reliable for professional use.
Star Arvenis Oil shapes the future of vegetable oils
Star Arvensis Oil™ is a new addition to our portfolio that will be available shortly. Derived from the seeds of Brassica arvensis, this innovative oil is packed with plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and offers a neutral taste, making it highly versatile for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and supplement formulations.
Key benefits of Star Arvensis Oil™:
-
Rich in SDA, a direct precursor to EPA, offering improved conversion compared to conventional plant-based omega-3 sources like flaxseed oil.
-
Contains GLA, known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-supportive properties.
-
Provides a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, contributing to overall metabolic health. That makes it ideal for brands developing next-generation health products.
