Ultra G.L.A. (Borage Oil)
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
This product delivers a notable dose of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) from borage oil, which has shown efficacy in specific inflammatory conditions such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The inclusion of Vitamin E provides additional antioxidant and immune support. While individual ingredients have research backing, the benefits for general skin health, particularly eczema, are not consistently supported by high-quality evidence.
