Once LA is ingested, it is acted upon by an enzyme called delta-6-desaturase (D6D) which biochemically converts LA to GLA. This is how the body gets its daily fix of GLA. Without the effective functioning of D6D, the body is unable to manufacture any GLA no matter how much LA is ingested. Thus, GLA is often supplemented.
GLA is further converted via a sequence of biochemical steps into DGLA which goes on to produce prostaglandin 1 (PGE1), a key molecule with numerous biological properties including:
Anti-inflammatory
Dermatology (e.g. eczema)
Anti-allergy
Nerve transmission
Secretion from the mucus membrane
PMS
Steroid production and hormone synthesis
PGE1 blocks the use of AA and creates anti-inflammatory products. Thus, it is beneficial for use in the management of autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. GLA supplementation has also shown benefits in treatment of diabetic neuropathy, post viral fatigue, allergies, ADHD, and acne, and it supports hair growth. Further, it is involved in proper brain development and function.
Amount of GLA in Borage oil
GLA was initially discovered in the oil of evening primrose seeds (where GLA content is 7-9%). This oil became well known with the public, health professionals, and in health stores. Then GLA was also discovered in borage and black current in higher amounts, 24% and 17% respectively. Borage is a plant with star shaped, periwinkle-blue flowers. The plant produces a dark, rich oil with a higher potency and bioavailability of GLA than evening primrose oil.
AOR offers an omega-6 fatty acid supplement of the highest quality.
AOR's Borage 500 V-Softgel is an extract from the seed pods of borage. Borage oil provides a more concentrated extract of GLA than does Evening Primrose oil, meaning that fewer capsules are required to get the same effect. It is a safe and well tolerated supplement that helps regulate inflammation and reduce the symptoms of a number of disorders. AOR has also delivered GLA from Borage oil in a vegan friendly, highly absorbable softgel.
AOR guarantees that no ingredients not listed on the label have been added to the product. Contains no wheat, gluten, nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, sulphites, mustard, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish or any animal byproduct.
