FAQ
- What Are the Health Benefits of Borage Oil?
Borage oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that supports overall wellness. It is commonly used to support healthy skin, joint comfort, and the body's natural balance of essential fatty acids. - What Is Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) and Why Is It Important?
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid naturally found in borage oil. It serves as a building block for important compounds in the body and is valued for its role in supporting skin health, joint wellness, and overall physiological function. - Why Are Essential Fatty Acids Important?
Essential fatty acids are fats that the body needs but cannot produce on its own, so they must be obtained through diet or supplementation. They play important roles in supporting cell structure, heart health, skin health, and overall wellness. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are two of the most important types of essential fatty acids and are involved in many normal physiological processes throughout the body. - What Is the Difference Between Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil?
Both borage oil and evening primrose oil are sources of GLA, but borage oil naturally provides a higher concentration of GLA. As a result, some individuals choose borage oil when looking for a more concentrated source of this important omega-6 fatty acid. - What Makes Swanson Borage Oil Different From Other Essential Fatty Acid Supplements?
Swanson Borage Oil delivers 1,000 mg of borage oil per softgel, providing a concentrated source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Because borage oil naturally contains higher levels of GLA than many other plant oils, it is a popular choice for individuals seeking targeted support from this important omega-6 fatty acid. - Is Swanson Borage Oil Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Borage Oil is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the softgels contain gelatin.
