Borage-500 contains borage oil, a rich source of the anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid known as Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Although a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is typically thought to cause inflammation, studies have shown that on the contrary, supplementation with GLA has anti-inflammatory effects. This means that GLA is especially effective in treating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and eczema.
GLA supplementation has also shown to be beneficial in supporting hormonal balance, treating diabetic neuropathy, post-viral fatigue, allergies, ADHD, acne, and it promotes hair growth. Further, it is involved in proper brain development and function.
Please note that borage oil imparts a distinct odour. This scent is not an indication of rancidity.
AOR Advantage
AOR uses organic cold pressed hexane-free borage oil as a source of GLA in Borage-500 as opposed to evening primrose oil because it contains 2-3 times more GLA. Borage-500 is formulated in a carrageenan-free, vegan softgel, offering optimal absorption and suitability for various dietary preferences or restrictions. It also promotes environmental sustainability.
