Formulation
Formula re: Contains
Borage Seed Oil (Borago officinalis) is a nutritional oil containing over 80% Polyunsaturated Fats. Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) and Linoleic Acid are enhanced essential fatty acids. Although the body does manufacture GLA from dietary linoleic acid, it can be utilized by body functions when supplied directly by natural dietary sources. Borage Seed Oil is an even more concentrated source of GLA than Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) Oil or EPO. One 1000 mg Borage Seed Oil capsule is equivalent to about 5 standard EPO capsules in GLA content.
Formulation re: Does NOT Contain
Expeller Pressed, Chemical and Hexane-Free.
Formulation re: Other
Made in the U.S.A.

Formulation re: Does NOT Contain
