Borage Oil |
|
|
|
Borage oil, standardized to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) has been used to relieve symptoms of eczema. In addition it has been suggested that GLA may potential as an adjunctive therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (DeLuca et al. 1995, atherosclerosis (,Fan et al. 1995), tumor growth, metastasis (Jiang et al. 1995), and diabetic neuropathy (Cameron and Cotter 1996) . GLA has an expansive number of uses, all of which can potentially address very serious health concerns. |
