Borage oil is classified as a seed oil, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids. The high omega-6 content can disrupt the omega-3 to omega-6 balance in the body, potentially leading to inflammation. Despite its gamma-linolenic acid content, the risks associated with seed oils outweigh the benefits.

Fish oil concentrate is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health. It is a high-quality source of EPA and DHA, known for their anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits. The concentration process enhances the purity and potency of the omega-3 content.

Organic flax seed oil is a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Being organic, it is free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, enhancing its health profile. It provides a vegetarian option for omega-3 intake, though conversion to EPA and DHA is limited.

The softgel capsule is made from bovine gelatin, glycerin, and water, serving as a delivery vehicle for the active ingredients. Bovine gelatin is BSE-free, ensuring safety from prion diseases. It does not contribute significant nutritional value but is necessary for encapsulation.

D-Alpha tocopherol is a natural form of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. It is often used to preserve the freshness of oils by preventing rancidity. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it supports immune function and skin health.
