Borage seed oil, made from the borage plant, contains the highest gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of any currently available seed oil, up to four times more than the GLA content of evening primrose oil. (GLA is a plant-derived omega-6.) Patients who have gained little benefit from or cannot tolerate evening primrose oil because of food sensitivities often take borage oil with good results. As with all essential fatty acids, it is best to purchase products that are high quality.
