NOW Foods Borage Oil, 60 Softgels
UPC: 733739017208
NOW Foods Borage Oil softgels provide a concentrated source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 essential fatty acid, with each softgel containing 240 mg of GLA from 1,000 mg of borage seed oil. The manufacturer notes that borage oil typically has about twice the GLA content of evening primrose oil, and this product is designed to supply GLA directly for dietary use.
This oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free, a production method that avoids chemical solvents. Research cited by the manufacturer indicates that borage oil does not contain harmful levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). The softgels are available in a 60-count package, with a 120-count option also offered, and carry Kosher (with gelatin) and Non-GMO certifications.
