Lamberts Pure Starflower 1000mg (Borage Seed GLA Oil), 90 Capsules
Starflower (borage) seeds have the highest GLA level of any plant, including evening primrose.
GLA is the precursor of a particularly important prostaglandin called PGE1, which takes part in regulating the nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive systems, skin condition and other biological functions.
Whilst the body can make GLA from Linoleic Acid (the Omega 6 fatty acid present in vegetable oils) this conversion is sometimes slow or partially blocked. Hence, a dietary source of GLA can be very useful to the body in by-passing the conversion process, and numerous clinical trials have established that GLA supplements can be effective in certain situations.
Lamberts® Pure Starflower Oil 1000mg capsules contain a guaranteed level of 220mg GLA per capsule, making this product one of the strongest available. The advantage of this is that only one capsule per day needs to be taken which means it is an excellent alternative for those currently taking a lot of evening primrose oil because you need much less of it to obtain the same level of GLA.
Recommended to:
• women going through the menopause
• women at the time of their period
• anyone wishing to keep their skin in good condition.
