Borage GLA-240 120 Softgels from Jarrow Formulas® may provide a potent dose of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This supplement contains oil that is obtained from the seeds of the borage plant. The supplement uses cold pressed‚ hexane-free‚ and stabilized oil.
GLA present in the supplement from Jarrow Formulas® is an omega-6 fatty acid‚ which the body can convert to substances that reduce inflammation and cell growth. Omega-6 mostly comes as linoleic acid from plant oils such as corn oil‚ soybean oil‚ sunflower oil‚ and from nuts and seeds. The American Heart Association recommends that at least 5% to 10% of food calories should come from omega-6 fatty acids. Borage oil supplements like this one may be the best way to obtain GLA‚ since many of the foods we eat may not contain it.
