GLA provides 240 mg gamma-linolenic acid derived from borage seed oil (Borago officinalis) per 1 softgel serving. GLA is an omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and the active ingredient found in the oil of borage seeds, evening primrose, and black currant seeds. GLA constitutes 15-25% of borage seed oil; two to three times
more than evening primrose oil.
