Borage Oil 1050/240mg GLA 60sg by Protocol for Life Balance
Protocol's Borage Oil is a dietary supplement that is rich in Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is a fatty acid that is naturally found in Borage Oil and is essential for a variety of bodily functions. It helps to maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, supports a healthy vascular system, and plays a role in normal immune system function. Additionally, research has found that GLA may be beneficial for lung, joint, and eye health. This product contains 240 mg of GLA per serving and is expeller-pressed and hexane-free. It is also free of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs), which are known to be toxic. Borage Oil is unique in that it is a natural source of GLA, providing the body with a more easily-utilized form of the fatty acid than can be produced in the body. As a result, it may be beneficial in addressing symptoms associated with GLA deficiency, such as dry skin, joint pain, and weakened immune system function.Recommendation:
