Borage stimulates the adrenal glands, which
helps the body re-establish vitality.
Borage contains mucilage, tannins, and
pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are toxic to the liver. The seeds contain up to
24% gamma-linolenic acid.
Borage Oil is the best source of GLA, containing up to 24%
of this fatty acid. Evening Primrose Oil (8-10% GLA) and Black Currant Oil
(15-17% GLA) are other sources of GLA. Because of the higher concentration of
GLA in Borage Oil, a person may consume less oil overall to achieve the
required dosage. This allows the person consume the least amount of
supplemental calories possible and makes Borage Oil the most economical source
of GLA.
Dietary essential fatty acids common to borage
seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as 'prostaglandins',
and are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including:
Inflammation, swelling & pain
Pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels
Secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity
Smooth muscle & autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal, arterial, ear, heart
Water retention
Blood clotting ability
Allergic response
Rheumatoid arthritis
Nerve transmission
Steroid production & hormone Synthesis
For those suffering from co-factor deficiencies, a broad spectrum
multi-vitamin and mineral may be recommended with, perhaps, an oil supplement
rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Nature's most potent concentration of GLA
comes in the form of borage seed oil (24%). The combination of both flax and
borage seed oil provides nature's best of the Omega-3 fatty acids in flax with
the best of Omega-6 fatty acids in GLA rich borage oil.
Other benefits of borage seed GLA include:
Vasodilatation of blood vessels, which can reduce high blood pressure.
Reduction of abnormal blood clotting which can
reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke ·
Enhanced regulation of immune response,
specifically a reduction in autoimmune dysfunction, the underlying cause of
rheumatoid arthritis.
Enhanced defense against abnormal cell
proliferation, which may prevent and even reverse some cancers.
Elimination of common skin disorder such as
eczema.
Slowing of some aspects of normal aging.
