What Is It?
Borage oil is extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis, an annual, bristly herb, originally indigenous to the Mediterranean region. The main fatty acid in borage oil is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), typically in concentrations of 17-20%. GLA is an essential fatty acid that has multiple physiological roles. Pure Encapsulations borage oil contains 20% GLA.*
Uses For Borage Oil
Healthy Joint, Immune System And Skin Support: Studies have indicated that GLA promotes healthy prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) production, which helps support healthy joints, as well has healthy blood flow and vessel function. A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial reported statistically significant support for joint health in subjects supplementing with GLA from borage seed oil. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, reported that GLA helps support healthy cytokine activity, a mechanism that may be linked to both immune system support and joint health. PGE1 has also been associated with supporting and soothing the skin when used topically or taken orally.*
