Borage GLA-125 (Jarrow) Each bottle, 60 softgels. Each softgel is 600 mg of hexane-free, cold-pressed borage oil, which is 125 mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). From the borage (Borago officinalis) plant. This is a good source of GLA, especially in combination with flaxseed oil.

"Borage" has been noted in some reviews as being liver toxic, due to the the potential presence of small amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in some parts of the plant. These chemicals are very toxic to the liver. Happily, according to the late Varro Tyler, former professor of pharmacognosy at Purdue University, the seed oil is not where these are found. The data on its benefits as an antiinflammatory and for arthritis are mixed with some showing modest benefit while other studies failed to find any benefit. Suggested use is 1 to 4 softgels per day with meals. If you wish, after opening, refrigerate, unfrozen. Do not use if pregnant or lactating.
