Vitakruid Borage Oil 1500mg GLA 300mg from plant source Highest percentage of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid)
Borage (borago officinalis) is an herb derived from the borage plant, also known as cucumber herb. Pressing the seeds of the plant produces an oil with a high percentage of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This omega-6 fatty acid is attributed with various health-promoting effects. This is why the ancient Greeks used the herb.
Of all oilseed crops, borage is the primary plant source of GLA. Its oil contains the highest percentage compared to other plants, such as evening primrose. For example, the GLA concentration in borage oil is more than twice that of evening primrose oil. 100 grams of borage oil contains 18-26 grams of GLA, while evening primrose contains only 7-10 grams. Furthermore, the substance is quite rare in nature: there are few foods from which you can obtain GLA. Therefore, a borage oil supplement is often a welcome addition to your diet!
300 mg GLA per capsule
Besides the fact that borage oil is derived from the richest plant-based GLA source, our product offers a high dosage of 1500 mg of borage oil per capsule. Of this, 300 mg is the active ingredient GLA. The vast majority of borage oil products on the market only contain GLA levels between 100 and 200 mg. With other products, you would often need to take (triple) double the dose to achieve the same effect. Our supplement surpasses this not only in terms of quality and content, but also in price-to-performance ratio.
Cold pressed for the best quality
The borage oil is cold-pressed during the production process to ensure the highest quality. This chemical-free process preserves as many of the oil's natural nutrients as possible. This includes preserving the high GLA content, the main active ingredient.
