Description Borage Oil is nature's richest source of the nutritionally important Omega-6 fatty acid GLA. Clinical research shows that Borage Oil, with its unusually high GLA content, maintains healthy moisturized skin and joint flexibility.
GLA is needed in the body for the production of hormone liked chemicals called prostaglandins E1, (PGE1). PGE1 has anti-inflammatory properties and may also act as a blood thinner and blood vessel dilator.
Borage oil appears to be effective for arthritis and skin problems.

There are generally no side effects from taking borage oil supplements, although sensitive individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort and headaches. Borage is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. Although research is not conclusive, some experts recommend that epileptics should not take GLA supplements such as borage oil or evening primrose oil, as it may exacerbate a certain type of temporal lope epilepsy, which can sometimes be mistaken for schizophrenia. It is advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist on this issue. If you are already using blood thinning drugs such as warfarin, please consult with your doctor or pharmacist before taking borage oil
