Borage Oil
Borage (Borago officinalis) is an herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its hairy, light blue flowers and hairy, hairy leaves. In herbal medicine, borage is used to treat a wide range of health conditions, including respiratory problems, inflammation, and anxiety. It is also used to stimulate the appetite and to help improve mood. Borage oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the plant and contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, is used topically to treat skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. Borage must be used cautiously if taken orally as the plant parts may contain liver-toxic compounds (pyrrolizidine alkaloids). It is important to only ingest preparations that are free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

| Formula |
- Borage Seed Oil (Borago officinalis) is a nutritional oil containing over 80% Polyunsaturated Fats. Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) and Linoleic Acid are enhanced essential fatty acids. Although the body does manufacture GLA from dietary linoleic acid, it can be utilized by body functions when supplied directly by natural dietary sources. Borage Seed Oil is an even more concentrated source of GLA than Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) Oil or EPO. One 1000 mg Borage Seed Oil capsule is equivalent to about 5 standard EPO capsules in GLA content.
- Each softgel may typically provide the following naturally occurring Omega-6 fatty acid - Linoleic Acid totaling approximately 380 mg.
