Borage oil 1000 mg softgels, a source of GLA

NOW Foods Borage Oil is borage oil in 1000 mg softgels. Borage seed oil (Borago officinalis) is one of the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid, GLA, an omega 6 fatty acid found in few foods. In a softgel it goes down without the taste of the oil and stays protected from air. The bottle contains 60 softgels.

Key Features of borage oil softgels

1000 mg per softgel: the oil strength stated in the product's combination.
Source of GLA: borage oil is among the richest in gamma-linolenic acid.
Plant omega 6: from Borago officinalis seeds.
Softgel: protects the oil from oxidation and covers its taste.
60 softgels: a bottle to keep somewhere cool.
Alternative to evening primrose: weight for weight, borage oil contains more GLA than evening primrose oil.

Why Choose It

A concentrated source of plant GLA, at 1000 mg of oil per softgel, for anyone who wants the most gamma-linolenic acid from fewer softgels. The softgel keeps the delicate oil sealed away from air and light until you take it.

Pack size: 60 softgels
Borage oil per softgel: 1000 mg
Origin: United States, NOW Foods

Take the softgels with water at a meal, at the serving shown on the bottle label: fatty acids are absorbed better with food. Borage oil is chosen by people who want to add GLA, for example to a diet low in speciality plant oils, and by those who alternate or combine it with fish omega 3. Keep the bottle cool and out of the light to limit oxidation. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

What is GLA?

Gamma-linolenic acid is an omega 6 fatty acid found in few foods, mainly borage, evening primrose and blackcurrant seed oils.

Borage or evening primrose?

Both provide GLA; weight for weight borage oil contains more, so fewer softgels give the same amount.

Can I take it with omega 3?

Yes, many people combine it with fish oil: they are different fatty acids, one omega 6 and the others omega 3.
