Product Description
Borage Seed Oil and Black Currant Seed Oil are rich and natural sources of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). Compared to the Evening Primrose Oil, both Borage Seed Oil and Black Currant Seed Oil contain a much higher concentration of GLA.
Essentially, GLA is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat that must be obtained from dietary sources as our bodies are unable to manufacture them on their own. GLA, when converted into Prostaglandin E1, helps relieve discomfort during women’s monthly cycles. It also helps you in the maintenance of good circulatory health*.
v
Proven to be an excellent GLA source, Avance's Black Currant Seed Oil contains 19% GLA whereas Borage Seed Oil contains 20-27% GLA – a much higher concentration than what you get from Evening Primrose Oil (about 8%-10% GLA). Therefore, Borage Seed Oil and Black Currant Seed Oil allow us to consume fewer capsules to achieve the required dosage, making them the most economical sources of GLA.

Sharing from the heart...
Ms. Sherlin Onn Lee Sian, Hong Kong
"Since I began having my menstruation, I have been experiencing abdominal cramps, body ache and a bloated and sense of soreness on my breasts. After I started working, I had to see the doctor almost every month to get a day off to rest as the pain became very bad. I would sometimes even have diarrhea. Through the years, I have been taking painkillers to relieve the pain. However, about two years ago, my friend recommended me to take Borage Seed Oil to help relieve the pimples on my face. In the end, not only do I have better skin, but my menstrual pains are completely gone too. I strongly believe that Borage Seed Oil has helped relieve me of the pain and I am very glad I don't have to undergo that awful experience again."
