Please tell me the value of borage oil as an essential fatty acid by itself and in combination with flax oil, fish oil and Vitamin E.Borage oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that the body usually does not make enough of. GLA is mostly used in a therapeutic way to treat a wide variety of conditions that are affected by prostaglandins, but it is also taken as a nutritional supplement by those who are deficient in GLA such as diabetics, older people or those suffering from stress, high cholesterol, or those with a history of alcohol abuse. Evening primrose seeds and blackcurrant seeds also contain GLA.
