The power of borage oil One of De Wit Speciality Oils’ signature products is borage oil, extracted from the seeds of the borage plant, also known as starflower. Native to the Mediterranean, borage has been valued for centuries – referred to by the Romans as the ‘herb of joy’ and widely used across Europe for its beneficial properties.
Borage oil is distinguished by its exceptionally high content of gamma- linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in immune function, joint health and inflammatory response regulation. Research suggests that GLA may help alleviate symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions by supporting prostaglandin synthesis and cellular function.
As factors such as ageing, dietary imbalances and certain health conditions can impair the body’s natural conversion of linoleic acid (LA) into GLA, borage oil serves as an essential dietary supplement. Unlike more common oils, such as sunflower oil, which primarily contains LA, borage oil is the richest natural source of pure GLA. Additionally, it contains beneficial compounds such as tannic, oleic and palmitic acids, making it a valuable addition to a holistic approach to health and wellness.●
