Vitals Borage Oil 500 mg organic The borage plant (Borago officinalis), also called borage or cucumber herb, is a well-known culinary herb with blue flowers, native to the countries around the Mediterranean and spread throughout Europe and North America over the centuries.
Rich in GLA
Borage oil is the richest natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that is rarely found in food. The body can, in principle, produce GLA itself from (cis)linoleic acid. However, in situations where there is an increased need, it may be beneficial to supplement the diet with a GLA supplement. Factors that can play a role in this include excessive consumption of trans fatty acids, saturated fats, sugar, alcohol, and carbohydrates.
Organic
The active ingredients in organic food supplements are guaranteed to be of natural origin and not synthetically manufactured. Furthermore, the environment, animals, and people are taken into account as much as possible during production. Various regulations define what this means. For example, no chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms are used. The Skal Biocontrole institute monitors compliance with these regulations and whether a product may be called organic. Organic products are recognizable by the code NL-BIO-01 and the European organic quality mark.
