GLA is found in Evening Primrose oil and Borage oil supplements. The advantage of Borage oil is its much higher concentration of GLA.
GLA from Evening Primrose Oil
Evening Primrose oil is the best known source of GLA. Evening primrose oil has positive effects on the female hormones, the menstruation and the health of the skin*.
GLA from Borage Oil
Borage oil (also called borage oil) is less well known, but contains the highest concentration of the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is rarely found in the diet, and in our bodies it is formed from (cis)linoleic acid.
Often this conversion takes place to a limited extent, resulting in the formation of fewer (beneficial) eicosanoids (local hormone-like substances). Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) from Borage oil contributes to maintaining normal skin structure and elasticity.*
