PLANETARY ALS - Borage Super GLA 300 - 30 Softgels

Rich Source of Gamma-Linolenic Planetary als BORAGE SUPER GLA 300 is a specially prepared oil concentrate pressed from the of the borage (Borago officinalis), using a specialized, solvent-free, cold-pressed extraction technique. Borage are a rich source of essential ty s, including gamma-linolenic (GLA), which are essential for human . These ty s are necessary for maintaining the fluidity and flexibility of every cell membrane, and are integral in supporting the body's normal production of prostaglandins.In our millenia-long passage from hunter-gatherers to supermarket shoppers, our diet has undergone profound changes. Specifically, we no longer consume the unprocessed foods that contain gamma linolenic (GLA). It is the intake of GLA that creates the soothing prostaglandins that are so important in promoting the fluidity of cellular membranes for proper ent absorption, brain function,skin and immune system support. The borage (Borago officinalis), also known as starflower, is indigenous to southern Europe, but now well established here in North America. This small, rough-leafed botanical with blue, star-shaped flowers has recently been rediscovered as the world’s finest source of GLA.What Is GLA? GLA is an essential ty (EFA). As the name implies, EFAs are essential in our diet. And as our bodies can’t manufacture them, we must get them from food. Unfortunately, their presence in today’s processed American diet is dangerously low. If we analyze the diets of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, we find that their primary dietary source of EFAs was wild game, which is much higher in EFAs than today’s domesticated and process-fed animals. Since we evolved on the hunter-gatherer diet for millennia, and the present American diet has only been around a few generations, it makes sense that our bodies will benefit by approximating the positive aspects of our genetically programmed diet requirements as closely as possible.The problem, however, is in our inability to pick up a mastodon rump roast, or other such wild game, during the commute home. Fortunately, Planetary Formulas Borage Super GLA 300 seed oil is now available.How does GLA work? As an essential ty , GLA is a building block the body uses to ultimately produce and store energy, and is used in every cell of the body. EFAs help to make up our cellular membranes and act as “gate-keepers” for our cells. Having y cell membranes is crucial, as every cell must have the ability to take in the proper ents and keep out c toxins. EFAs maintain the fluidity and permeability of our cellular membranes, promoting ent absorption. As the brain contains a high percentage of ty tissue, EFAs also promote y brain function.One of the most important roles of EFAs is the production of eicosanoids, short-lived regulatory messenger molecules inside our cells. These hormonelike substances regulate a variety of c processes in the body, including blood pressure balance, smooth muscle contraction, proper blood clotting, blood vessel flexibility and immune system regulation.The Natural c Shortcut The precursor to GLA, linoleic , is found in a large variety of foods, but converting it to GLA and ultimately to prostaglandins is difficult. There are many roadblocks along the way-including the consumption of alcohol, saturated s, trans-ty s and the normal aging process. So, Borage Super GLA 300 is a good way of taking a c shortcut and ensuring the production of the crucial prostaglandins.Borage Super GLA 300 is an oil concentrate expressed from the of the uniquely high-yielding borage using a specialized, non-toxic, solvent-free, coldpressed extraction technique.
