Evening primrose and Borage oils are great sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Borage oils have a much higher content of GLA, almost double, than that found in evening primrose. On the other hand, evening primrose is much higher in ALA, an omega-6 essential fatty acid.

Getting the right amount of GLA can help maintain youthful skin, working hormones, and a great metabolism.

When taking the oils by mouth, the combination of both oils can have the following health benefits*:

• Improved skin moisture, roughness, firmness, and elasticity.
• Ease PMS symptoms:
  • Digestive issues
  • Irritability and depression
  • Backache
  • Fatigue
  • Breast pain or tenderness
• Menopausal relief
• Arthritis pain reduction

I bought the supplements from the brand Physalis online via Holland and Barrett Netherlands. Enjoy their spring deals until April 17th!

*Are you pregnant or taking medications (e.g medications that slow blood clotting)? Please speak first with a healthcare provider before starting new supplements.
