Good source of GLA Vitacost Borage Oil with GLA is a good product, I use it because together with omega-3 and DHA it is good to balance excess of omega-6. I think it helps a little to reduce inflammation in my joints. March 26, 2013

Borage oil is great for skin Fast shipping, great customer service and best prices. September 23, 2012

The best buy I had been taking evening primrose oil for years, on the recommendation of Ann Louise Gittleman, but in the last year, the oil's estrogenic effects started to catch up with me. Borage oil is a terrific alternative, containing more GLA per capsule than even Barlean's EPO. I only have to take 1 capsule of borage oil per day! It's fantastic. And you can't beat the price at Vitacost. Trust me -- I did serious research before I made my purchase. September 17, 2012

Vitacost Borage Oil with GLA Description

Supports a healthy inflammatory response*

What is borage oil?

Borage (Borago officinalis) is an herb native to Syria that eventually spread throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean. It is now cultivated in many different areas of Europe and the U.S.

Borage flowers and leaves are edible. The seeds are often pressed to produce an oil rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is an omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid normally used by the body to create prostaglandins. GLA increases the content of dihomo- -linolenic acid (DGLA), which is converted to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Prostaglandin E1 is a hormone-like substance that plays a part in many biochemical and metabolic processes of the body.
