BioCare Dricelle Mega GLA - Borage Oil - 120g Powder
Borage oil is derived from the seeds of the borage (Borago officinalis) plant. Borage oil is found primarily in supplements. Its presumed active ingredient, GLA, can also be found in black currant seed oil and evening primrose oil supplements. However, it is not known whether the effects of these three oils in the body, are the same.
Who is likely to be deficient?
Many people in Western societies may be at least partially GLA-deficient as a result of aging, glucose intolerance, dietary fat intake, and other problems, though the exact incidence of deficiency remains unknown. People with deficiencies may benefit from supplemental GLA intake from borage oil, black currant seed oil, or evening primrose oil.
