Borage Oil GLA-240
Borage Oil is an excellent alternative to evening primrose oil as a source of Gammalinolenic acid (GLA).*
Some are allergic to evening primrose oil (EPO) or may develop such an allergy with repeated intake. For allergy prone individuals it may be wise to rotate usage of essential fatty acids, i.e. either alternate on a day to day basis or after finishing 1 bottle of evening primrose oil, then use 1 bottle of borage oil, then back to EPO & so on. This can minimize allergenic risks.*
The same can be done with the other essential fatty acid sources listed on this site. Look on the labels to see the sources then follow the rotation idea if you are allergic.*
Another advantage of rotating is to derive different benefits from varying ultimate food sources. Dr. Slagle personally alternates the Flaxseed Oil with the Max-EPA; she intermittently adds the Essential Fatty Acid Complex & rotates the Evening Primrose Oil & the Borage Oil.*
