Piping Rock Borage Oil 1000mg, 120 Soft gel capsule Capsules

What Is Borage Oil?

Derived from the seeds of the stunning borage plant (Borago officinalis), which boasts vibrant blue, star-shaped flowers, borage oil has been cherished for centuries in traditional herbal practices. Today, it is sought after primarily for its high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

Piping Rock's Borage Oil Supplement provides 1000mg of cold-pressed, hexane-free oil in each quick-release soft gel capsule, offering a convenient source of GLA and oleic acid (omega-9) to complement a healthy diet.

Understanding the Ingredients

When choosing a borage oil supplement, it is important to know the key components:

• Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): An omega-6 fatty acid that the body uses to produce compounds involved in skin health. Borage oil is one of the richest natural sources, typically containing 20-24% GLA.
• Oleic Acid (Omega-9): A monounsaturated fatty acid that supports general wellness when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
• Palmitic and Stearic Acids: Saturated fatty acids present in small amounts that contribute to the oil's stability.
• Vitamin E (often added): A natural antioxidant that helps maintain freshness; check the label for inclusion.

Piping Rock's borage oil is sourced from high-quality seeds and processed to retain these beneficial components. The absence of artificial additives means you get only what nature intended.
