Description

BORAGE OIL 100 ML FARMADERBE



Borage oil

Description
Food supplement based on organic borage oil that promotes joint function, integrity and functionality of cell membranes, trophism and functionality of the skin. It is a product without preservatives, GMO free and non-irradiated.
Borage oil is obtained by simple cold pressing of the plant's seeds, without the use of solvents. It is one of the richest plant sources of gammalinolenic acid (GLA), an essential acid of the omega 6 series. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic acids are also present, alongside alpha-linolenic acid, a fatty acid of the omega-3 series.
Taking GLA allows you to bypass the blockade of the first ring of the chain and allows the regular occurrence of the biological process of production of prostaglandins that intervene in inflammatory reactions, such as antihypertensive agents and inhibitors of platelet aggregation. Borage oil does not have hypotensive properties, but it interferes with the biochemical and cellular mechanisms that determine hypertension, namely the aldosterone-renin-angiotensin system.
Gammalinolenic acid is an essential fatty acid that is fundamental for life itself, an important constituent of cells and subcellular organelles, participating in the structure of the membranes that delimit them. As a fatty acid, moreover, it is essential for the regular metabolism of all lipid fractions (triglycerides and cholesterol). The ratio between fatty acids and cholesterol is fundamental.
A deficiency of unsaturated fatty acids can be responsible for brittle and dull hair, brittle nails, dandruff and can predispose to the onset of hay fever, bronchial asthma and allergies in general, skin disorders, such as eczema, dermatitis, infantile eczema, non-allergic eczema, acne and dry skin, psoriasis, heart disorders, abnormalities of the circulatory system and kidneys. The anti-aging action of omega-6 essential fatty acids is implemented through the stimulation of suppressor T lymphocytes, which inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall, lipid alterations and the resulting cardiovascular disorders. Unsaturated fatty acids have been shown to be effective in preventing prostate disorders and nervous hyperactivity. They are essential for normal glandular activity, especially of the adrenal glands and the thyroid.
GLA administration reduces the proliferation and activation of intra-articular T lymphocytes and a double-blind clinical trial has shown that borage oil is useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, reducing joint stiffness and swelling.
For local applications it is useful in cases of dermatitis, wrinkles, stretch marks, dry and chapped skin. GLA is effective as an emollient, decongestant and cell regulator; it has also been shown to help maintain the skin's natural hydration by counteracting trans-epidermal evaporation processes and consequently improving skin hydration and elasticity. Also excellent as an anti-aging treatment.
