Starflower (borage) oil has been used to create this ultra high strength GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) supplement. The body converts GLA (derived from an Omega 6 Fatty Acid) into hormone-like compounds called 'prostaglandins' which regulate a number of bodily functions; controlling inflammation in some cases and promoting it in others. It is particularly helpful for sufferers of PMS symptoms (such as cramps and breast tenderness) and skin conditions (such as eczema, acne and psoriasis). Each GLA Ultra capsule provides 100mg GLA, as well as 100% RDA of Vitamin E.
Starflower (borage) oil has been used therapeutically for hundreds of years and is derived from the seeds of the borage plant - a large plant with blue, star-shaped flowers found throughout Europe, North Africa and North America.
People with low thyroid function, poor dietary habits, high alcohol consumption and people whose bodies are generally under stress may struggle to get enough GLA as their bodies may be too busy coping with these pressures to produce the necessary amount for optimum health.

• Unhealthy-looking skin or hair
