Description:
Borage oil, also known as starflower oil and borage seed oil, is derived from
the seeds of the borage plant (Borago officinalis). It is a rich source of
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), a member of the omega-6 essential fatty acid family.
Essential fatty acids are essential because the body needs them for proper
formation and function of every cell in the body, but it cannot produce them on
its own they must be obtained through diet. Omega-6 essential fatty acid GLA can
be obtained through dietary sources such as organ meats or certain seed oils
including borage, primrose, black currant and hemp. Borage oil contains the
highest percentage of GLA among the seed oils.
GLA is a precursor to several prostaglandins, which are hormone-like compounds
that play a part in blood vessel health, cholesterol levels, and skin and joint
health. Prostaglandins are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may
also have beneficial effects on muscle relaxation, joint lubrication and immune
health.
