Plukenetia volubilis
Peruvian seed with high plant omega-3 content.
Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is a Peruvian seed prized for its exceptionally high plant-based omega-3 content, primarily alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). It is used as a dietary supplement to support cardiovascular, cognitive, and skin health, and also provides protein, vitamin E, and tryptophan.
The omega-3 ALA in Sacha Inchi oil is partially converted to EPA and DHA via delta-6-desaturase and elongase enzymes, though conversion is limited in humans. ALA and its metabolites reduce inflammation by competing with arachidonic acid for cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, decreasing pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Vitamin E (tocopherols) provides antioxidant protection against lipid peroxidation, while tryptophan supports serotonin synthesis, potentially benefiting mood and sleep.
