There are two families of essential fatty acids, the Omega 3 and Omega 6 series. The two series are of vital importance to ensure optimal nutrition, and since the body is unable to manufacture them from other nutrients (hence the term "essential") it is essential that both series of fatty acids are present in the diet.
Borage seeds offer a higher concentration of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) than any other plant product. LAMBERTS Pure Borage Oil 1000mg capsules guarantee a total of 220mg of GLA per capsule, making this product one of the most potent available. The advantage of this product is that you only need to take one capsule a day, which means that it is a good alternative for people who have to take many capsules of evening primrose oil.
GLA is the precursor of a particularly important class of prostaglandins called PGE1. Linoleic Acid contributes to maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels.
Although the body can produce GLA from Linoleic Acid (the Omega 6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils) this process is sometimes slow or can be partially blocked.
Hence, a dietary source of GLA, by bypassing the conversion process, is very helpful to the body. On the other hand, numerous clinical studies have established that GLA supplements can be effective in various situations. We use only the purest Borage Oil and these capsules are manufactured in the UK under strict GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.
