Vegan Borage Oil - 90 Capsules by Deva Nutrition LLC – Skin Moisture Support with Plant-Based GLA
Vegan Borage Oil capsules by Deva Nutrition LLC provide organic, cold-pressed seed oil in a cellulose capsule rather than an animal-derived shell. This 90-capsule formula supplies 1000 mg of borage oil per two-capsule serving, standardized to a minimum 18% gamma linolenic acid by area percentage of the fatty acid profile.
For adults seeking a plant-based GLA supplement, this formula offers a direct dietary source of a specific omega-6 fatty acid. Its focus is fatty acid nutrition and support for normal skin moisture balance, not a broad blend of vitamins or herbs. The oil and capsule ingredients come from non-animal sources, making the formula an option for people following vegan or vegetarian eating patterns.
Key Vegan Borage Oil Benefits
- Provides borage-derived fatty acids that contribute to the lipid building blocks used throughout the body, including normal skin tissue.
- Offers nutritional support for the skin's moisture barrier, which helps maintain comfortable, hydrated skin as part of everyday care.
- Supplies GLA directly, adding this particular omega-6 fatty acid to the diet without relying entirely on its production from dietary linoleic acid.
How Vegan Borage Oil Works
Omega-6 fatty acids are a family of fats with different roles; they are not all interchangeable. The body can make gamma linolenic acid (GLA) from linoleic acid, another dietary fat. Borage seed oil supplies GLA directly. After digestion, fatty acids enter the body's lipid pools, where they can become parts of cell membranes or be converted into other fatty acids.
Skin depends on a functioning lipid barrier to help hold moisture within its outer layers. Skin moisture support through fatty acid nutrition complements external skin care rather than replacing it. Borage oil is not fish oil, and this product is not a substitute for EPA or DHA when those specific omega-3 fats are the goal.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Borage Oil: Supplies fatty acids, including GLA, that participate in normal skin lipid metabolism. These fats help provide building materials for the skin's protective barrier, supporting its ability to retain moisture. The organic borage oil in this formula is cold-pressed and standardized for its GLA content.
Vegan Borage Oil Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking vegan fatty acid nutrition with a defined borage oil serving.
- Vegetarians comparing non-animal capsule options for a GLA-focused routine.
- Adults interested in skin barrier support who have reviewed borage-specific precautions with their healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegan Borage Oil
What are the benefits of Vegan Borage Oil?
Vegan Borage Oil provides a plant-based source of GLA and other borage-derived fatty acids for everyday fatty acid nutrition. These fats contribute to normal skin lipid metabolism and help support the skin's moisture barrier. Each two-capsule serving contains 1000 mg of organic borage oil, standardized to a minimum 18% GLA by area percentage of the fatty acid profile. The cellulose capsules and non-animal ingredients distinguish this formula from animal-derived capsule options.
Who should take Vegan Borage Oil?
This Deva Nutrition LLC formula is intended for adults who want a vegan source of borage oil and GLA. It can suit vegetarian eating patterns, but vegan labeling does not remove borage-specific precautions. Adults should review medications and health history with their clinician before use, particularly blood thinners or medicines that affect the liver. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding or with liver disease. The directions specify two capsules daily with a meal, unless a health care provider directs otherwise.
Are there any side effects of taking Vegan Borage Oil?
Always consult your doctor before taking dietary supplements. TAMPER EVIDENT: DO NOT USE IF IMPRINTED SEAL UNDER CAP IS BROKEN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Additional precautions: Borage oil can cause headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, belching or loose stools; seizures have been reported. Avoid use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, with liver disease or liver-toxic medicines. Review blood thinners, NSAIDs, seizure history and surgery with your clinician. Blood thinners raise bleeding concerns; NSAIDs may theoretically interfere with effects. Use only oil certified free of liver-damaging unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids; confirm certification with the manufacturer. Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision.
How does Vegan Borage Oil support overall health?
Borage oil contributes dietary fats that the body uses in cell membranes and normal fatty acid metabolism. Its GLA content makes it different from fish oil products that focus on EPA and DHA. For this formula, the practical wellness focus is nutritional support for normal skin lipid balance and moisture retention. It complements a varied diet rather than supplying all the fats you need. The 90-capsule bottle contains 45 labeled servings, with each serving providing two capsules.
