Overview

Borage oil, rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), has shown promise in reducing inflammation and managing skin conditions. Clinical studies suggest that borage oil can effectively reduce symptoms of atopic eczema, reduce inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, and significantly reduce pain in patients with cyclic mastalgia. The effectiveness is attributed to GLA's conversion into anti-inflammatory compounds.
