Borage Oil is a nutritional oil consisting of 60% Polyunsaturated Fats and approximately twice the average content of Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) as Evening Primrose Oil. GLA is an essential fatty acid that the body is able to produce from dietary linoleic acid; however, it can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when supplied directly by dietary sources. Research has determined that Borage Oil does not contain harmful levels of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs). NOW Borage Oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free.

A great supplement Jun 25, 2016 ;Borage oil is a useful supplement in the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. I am a Nurse Practitioner and I tell my clients with these conditions to take 1-3 softgels of 1,000mg Borage oil daily. We have seen amazing results in lessened itchiness and scaling. I also recommend it for PMS and menopausal symptoms.

Great for eczema Jan 21, 2016 ;I use this for my daughter’s eczema. I give her one capsule a day internally, and I break open one capsule and rub it on her eczema at night. It is the only thing that works and it sure beats toxic steroid creams!

Better than Evening Primrose Oil Jul 29, 2016 ;Good product from Now Foods. I suffer from hair loss due to menopause, Hashimoto’s Hypothyroid disease and Seborrheic Dermatitis. I have been taking this along with Saw Palmetto extract to try to slow down hair loss. It seems to be working. After 3 weeks I am losing much less hair in the shower.

Important suppelement together with omega 3 Oct 12, 2016 ;I learned a lot of people only use omega 3 as a supplement, but they mis the important omega 6 GLA. If you use omega 3 it can be good to take this product to. 1 or 2 gels a day. The GLA is the healty and important part of borage oil. And you don’t get the bad stuff of omega 6 by taking these. After I took the borage oil my PMS complaints were gone!! And I dind’t have that mood swings anymore. So it realy helped me immedeately!
