Description

Borage oil, made from the seeds of the borage plant, is a rich nutritional source of the omega-6 fatty acid GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA is considered an essential fatty acid because the human body cannot make it on its own and it must be obtained by supplementation or diet. It works with omega 3 oils to improve brain function and enhance normal growth and development. It is a poly unsaturated fatty acid which is better for your health. Omega 6 fatty acids are known to stimulate skin growth, hair growth, bone health, metabolism and maintains reproductive capability. *

There are different kinds of omega 6 fatty acids including linoleic which is converted into gamma-linolenic acid and further into arachidonic acid. All are believed to be produced when taking Vegan Borage Oil.*

Some women find relief of their normal PMS symptoms when using Vegan Borage Oil. Anectodal evidence indicates that it could work on irritability, breast tenderness, swelling and bloating from retention of fluid associated with menstrual cycle.*

DEVA Borage Oil is 100% animal free, and guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency. Remember all DEVA Products are 100% vegan, vegetarian and are certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan".
