NOW Foods Borage Oil 1000 mg Softgels provide a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), delivering 240 mg per serving. Borage oil is derived from the seeds of Borago officinalis and is one of the most concentrated natural sources of GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid involved in inflammatory balance and cellular health.

GLA is commonly used to support skin hydration, joint comfort, and hormonal balance, particularly in individuals with increased essential fatty acid requirements.

What Is GLA?

Gamma-linolenic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid that plays a role in producing prostaglandins involved in inflammation regulation, skin barrier function, and hormone signalling. While omega-6 fats are common in the diet, GLA is less abundant and often supplemented directly.

The Active Ingredient Is: Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)

Gamma-Linolenic Acid, or GLA, is an omega-6 fatty acid present in borage oil that functions as a key inflammatory mediator precursor in the body.

This formula uses borage oil as the source, delivering GLA through a softgel form to provide a concentrated omega-6 fatty acid profile that supports skin and joint-related processes.":

What Does Gamma-Linolenic Acid Do?

GLA is involved in the normal production of inflammatory signals that help regulate immune and skin cell activity.

Research indicates that GLA can participate in inflammatory signal pathways and skin health processes, aligning with EFSA and NHS-style nutrient function concepts.
