Borage Oil 1,000 mg
Brand: Woodstock Vitamins
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Borage Oil functions by delivering high concentrations of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), a rare Omega-6 fatty acid. Unlike dietary Omega-6s that can promote inflammation, GLA is a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE1). At a cellular level, this bypasses the Delta-6-Desaturase enzyme bottleneck, directly supporting cell membrane fluidity and modulating immune responses. This mechanism helps regulate joint lubrication and skin barrier function without the pro-inflammatory effects of standard vegetable oils.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a healthy inflammatory response
- Promotes radiant, hydrated skin
- Aids in joint mobility and flexibility
- Maintains hormonal balance
Usage & Safety
Take 1 softgel daily with a meal to maximize absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Consult a physician if you have a seizure disorder or take blood-thinning medications, as fatty acids can interact with these conditions. Keep out of reach of children.
