BioCare Dricelle Mega GLA - Borage Oil - 120g Powder
DriCelle is a unique process that locks microscopically small droplets of essential fatty acids into a 'micelle', coated first with natural oil of lemon and then with a dry oligosaccharide powder.
The DriCelle process provides the means by which large doses of essential nutritional oils can be taken in a palatable form with enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is a well-known constituent of evening primrose, borage and blackcurrant seed oils. GLA is involved in the formation of healthy cell membranes and is converted in the body to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which is an essential biochemical process.
Features of Dricelle Mega GLA:
- DriCelle Mega GLA mixed into water produces a pleasant tasting effervescent lemon drink;

- Contains additional antioxidants vitamin E and vitamin C to enhance stability, and is vacuum packed to maintain freshness and protect the delicate oils from oxidation;
