Borage oil

Borage oil, like evening primrose oil, contains the omega-6 fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). The seeds of borage (Borago officinalis) are particularly rich in this fatty acid. As these seeds naturally contain a higher percentage of GLA than evening primrose seeds, GLA supplements based on borage are considerably more cost-effective and usually also available in higher doses. For instance, Solgar's Super Starflower Oil contains no less than 300 mg of GLA per capsule.

Dietary supplements based on borage and evening primrose oil can be used for precisely the same purposes.
