See S1 for an image of common antioxidants extracted from Echium. However, its role and health benefits for some conditions have been challenged and discredited. This Cochrane report review found no evidence of the benefit of omega-3 supplements on heart disease, stroke, or death. However, given that the conversion of ALA to DHA and EPA is poor, dietary intake of a combination of foods rich in ALA, EPA, and DHA is recommended.

It is not advisable to exceed the above dose unless recommended by a healthcare practitioner. If taking any medication, especially blood-thinning medication, seek professional medical advice before taking this product. Pregnant or lactating women should consult their doctor before taking any food supplement. Echiomega should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and away from children. Nutritional Information Growing Echiums from seed isn’t difficult. I sow mine early in spring (mid-February) in an 18-20ºC heated propagator with a grow lamp to give a good 18 hours of daylight in seed compost with a covering of Perlite (they need light to germinate). Interestingly, natural antioxidant activity is influenced by the drying process and extraction methods. Fatemeh Nadi et al. [ 59] demonstrated that at an air velocity of 1 m/s at 50 °C, the dried petals showed the highest DPPH values (61.16%). Yet the optimal drying condition was found to be 60 °C and an air velocity of 0.86 m/s, which obtains the optimum level of TPC, TFC, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant capacity. Additionally, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of polysaccharides from E. vulgare flowers showed a moderately higher scavenging hydroxyl radical ability and significant DPPH values (89.3%) compared to the control (78.6%), which relates to a higher antioxidant activity [ 60]. Furthermore, growing in metallicolous and nonmetallicolous soil environments influenced the antioxidant activity of E. vulgare. Plants that were exposed to short-term zinc stress generally showed higher antioxidant activity, as well as total phenolics and flavonoids [ 61]. Echiomega contains approximately 73% polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which 26% are omega-6 and 47% omega-3. This optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 1:1.8 makes it an ideal oil for nutraceutical application. Echiomega is also the highest commercially available source of SDA, a unique vegetarian omega-3 fatty acid that has known benefits for immune function and for regulating inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, as the direct precursor to EPA, SDA can synthesise up to 5 times more EPA than ALA alone, making Echium Seed Oil a superior alternative to other plant-derived oils such as flaxseed or hempseed oil. Disease pressures are relatively low in the crop, with levels considerably lower than that found in borage. A range of fungicide products are now awaiting approval from the authorities before they can be used.

Poly [3-(3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) glyceric acid], Caffeic acid, Rosmarinic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Salvianolic acid Although omega-3 fats lower the risk of developing heart disease by lowering triglyceride, the “bad” cholesterol LDL, and blood pressure, a meta-analysis of over 80,000 individuals found that their supplementation neither prevented death from all causes nor heart disease. Prevent blood clots DHA, EPA, and DPA omega-3 fatty acids are synthesized by marine organisms such as algae and phytoplankton. Flavonoids are commonly found in nature and are well known to contribute to the various aromas and colours of plants [ 77]. Likewise, in the Echium species, flavonoids together with glycosylation and conjugation (especially C3 substituted flavonoids) have been extensively identified. This includes flavones, such as apigenin and luteolin, flavonols, such as quercetin and kaempferol, as well as anthocyanins, such as delphinidin and cyanidin ( Table 2 and Figure S1). Identification of flavonoids within Echium has been predominately conducted by comparison of analytical standards via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) attached to various analysis detectors, such as a diode-array detector (DAD) or pulsed amperometric detector (PAD). Kefi et al. [ 57] reported that four flavonoids (luteolin-7- O-glucoside, myricitrin, myricetin, and quercetin) were identified from E. arenarium extracts by RP-HPLC analysis, with Luteolin-7- O-glucoside (60.56 μg/mg DE) the major flavonoid among all the compounds. Identification of nineteen flavonoids, in various species, both in coloured and noncoloured extracts have been described, including kaempferol, peonidin, cyanidin, malvidin, and their monoglucoside or disaccharide C3-linked derivatives, with kaempferol-3- O-neohesperidoside found to be the major constituent [ 78, 79, 80]. Radwan et al. [ 55] used proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1H-NMR) and fast atom bombardment (FAB-MS) to characterise four flavonoids, such as apigenin, luteolin-7- O-rutinoside, apigenin-7- O-rhamnoside, and quercetin-3- O-rhamnoside. These compounds were identified in E. sericeum (E. creticum).

Demulcent, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic, especially for common cold, pneumonia, anxiolytic, sedative, and other psychiatric symptoms, including obsession [ 4, 23, 24, 25]

Unlike borage, echium also has varies in yield each season. It also has a relatively low propensity to shed seed which means volunteers pose little threat. If you live in a hot climate, your plants will appreciate a little shade from the intense late afternoon sun. DHA and EPA are the primary polyunsaturated fats in brain cell membranes and have been popularized and successfully marketed as dietary supplements.

Before swathing, we used to spray off the crop with either glyphosate or reglone, but this was ineffective,” he adds.Omega-3 fatty acids have been successfully marketed as heart-friendly and reported to reduce the risk of adverse heart disease-related outcomes. Make sure your plants will get at least 6 to 8 hours of sun. Whether you go with a tower of jewels or a low-growing blue bedder, all members of the echium family require full sun. Before choosing plants for your garden, observe the amount of sunlight it receives. Ideally, the planting area should receive at least 8 hours of sun from the morning through the early afternoon.

Despite my early fears, they self-seeded into gravel and soi. There are three colour variations – Pink Fountain, Blue Steeple and Snow Tower, blue, pink and white. I first grew these with unnecessary kid gloves, in large pots, so I could take them inside to overwinter. Sources of ALA include nuts and seeds, such as flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts as well as oils, such as echium seed oil, canola, and soybean oils.
