BORAGE OIL

Description:

Borage Oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that supports skin health, hormonal balance, and anti-inflammatory processes. Each softgel provides 240 mg of GLA.

Mechanism of Action:

GLA is a precursor to anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, which modulate immune response and reduce inflammation. It also supports skin barrier function and may alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances.
