- The seeds of Starflower (borage) contain the highest percentage of GLA of any plant, and in this supplement, each capsule guarantees 215mg GLA, making it one of the most potent formulations available on the market.
- Its advantage is that only one capsule per day is required, unlike evening primrose where multiple capsules are necessary to obtain the same amount of GLA.
- GLA is the precursor of a particularly important prostaglandin, PGE1, which is involved in numerous significant biological functions.
- Although the body can produce GLA from Linoleic acid (the Omega 6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils), this conversion is often slowed down or completely inhibited. For this reason, a dietary source of GLA can be beneficial for the body to bypass the conversion process, something confirmed by several clinical studies that have shown benefits from taking GLA dietary supplements in specific cases.
Dietary supplement with borage oil, a rich source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a polyunsaturated fatty acid that participates in a multitude of important biological functions.
