Borage Oil is a softgel supplement from Pure Encapsulations delivering 1,000 mg of cold-pressed Borage (Borago officinalis) seed oil per capsule, standardized to contain 20% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — the highest GLA content of any plant source.
The oil is extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis by cold-pressing and is produced without the use of solvents. Each capsule also contains Vitamin E as mixed tocopherols, derived from highly purified soybean oil.
GLA from borage seed oil supports healthy cytokine activity and joint function, as well as skin appearance. Studies have indicated that GLA promotes healthy prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) production, which helps to support healthy joint function. 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.
Borage Oil is formulated for adults aged 18 and up seeking healthy joint and skin support. Pure Encapsulations products are formulated using high-quality, pure ingredients backed by verifiable science.
