NOW Foods Borage Oil 1000 mg provides a concentrated source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) — the most GLA-rich plant oil available, with borage containing 20-24% GLA compared to 8-10% in evening primrose oil. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that the body converts to DGLA and then to anti-inflammatory PGE1 prostaglandins — making it uniquely beneficial among omega-6 fats. Supplemental GLA has been most studied for PMS symptom relief, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, dry skin), rheumatoid arthritis, and nerve health in diabetic neuropathy. Borage oil is the most economical source of GLA per capsule, delivering approximately 240 mg of GLA per 1,000 mg softgel. NOW Foods provides cold-pressed borage oil in an oil-based softgel for maximum absorption, manufactured in their GMP-certified facility.
