Borage oil 500 mg organic 100 softgels Vitals

Product description

The borage plant (Borago officinalis), also called borage or cucumber herb, is a well-known kitchen herb with blue flowers, native to the countries around the Mediterranean and spread throughout Europe and North America over the centuries. Rich in GLA Borage oil is the richest natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This is a polyunsaturated omega 6 fatty acid that hardly occurs in the diet. In principle, the body can produce GLA itself from (cis) linoleic acid. However, in situations where there is an increased need, it can be useful to supplement the diet with a GLA supplement. Factors that can play a role in this are an excessive consumption of trans fatty acids, saturated fats, sugar, alcohol and carbohydrates.
