Borage Oil by Pure Encapsulations® is a cold-pressed, solvent-free borage seed oil concentrate that provides 20% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — the highest naturally occurring GLA content of any plant source. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that supports pathways involved in healthy immune signaling, joint comfort, and skin health.‡
Research suggests GLA supports prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) production and healthy cytokine activity, mechanisms associated with balanced immune response and joint function.‡ This formula is produced without solvents and includes mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) to help protect oil integrity.
