Barlean's Borage Oil
The oil derived from the seed of the blue, star shaped borage flower is nature's richest source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Evidence suggests that certain individuals may lack the necessary enzyme systems to effectively metabolize the linoleic acid found in other polyunsaturated oils to GLA. Borage seed oil provides a potent and economical form of GLA allowing for a more efficient fat metabolism in these individuals. Supplements containing GLA have become popular in recent years for their numerous applications.
Barlean's Borage Oil is considered the highest quality GLA supplement available and holds many advantages to traditional evening primrose and black currant seed oils.
