Borage seed oil is highly prized for its extremely high content of a special fatty acid called Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA). Ordinarily, GLA is created in the body from dietary essential fatty acids such as those found in flax oil. However, in some people, GLA is not adequately produced in the body. Borage Oil offers a direct source of GLA for these individuals. Borage oil is also revered by women who suffer from symptoms of PMS or menopause.*
