Flax/Borage Oil Softgels

Manufactured by Prothera

Blending unrefined, organically grown flax seed oil and unrefined borage seed oil creates a concentrated mixture of important fatty acids that are hard to obtain from the diet. Flax seed oil supplies a naturally-occurring balance of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6). Borage oil provides a higher ratio of GLA to linoleic acid than evening primrose oil and similar plant oils and is included to help reestablish a healthier omega-6 fatty acid balance. These essential polyunsaturated fatty acids are important for healthy hair, skin, and nails, and as precursors for hormone production and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Flaxseed particulate containing protective lignan components is retained in the oil. Carob-coloring in the softgel protects against heat and light-induced oxidation of fatty acids.

Flaxseed/borage oil liquid is also available.
