Size: 60 Softgel Capsules
Borage / GLA 1000mg by Protocol for Life Balance delivers gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) sourced from cold-pressed borage seed oil — one of the most concentrated plant-based sources of this omega-6 fatty acid. Each softgel provides 1000mg of borage oil, supporting healthy inflammatory response, skin barrier function, and hormonal balance for adults seeking targeted essential fatty acid supplementation.
Why It's Worth Considering: Borage oil yields a higher GLA concentration per gram than evening primrose or black currant seed oil, making this softgel format an efficient delivery option for those prioritizing GLA specifically.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Most supplements are stable at room temperature (59-77°F). Keep the bottle sealed between uses. Check the label for any specific storage requirements — some probiotics and oils require refrigeration.
Most supplements can be taken together safely. However, some minerals compete for absorption (zinc and iron, calcium and magnesium) and should be taken at different times of day. If you're taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider about potential interactions.
Most supplements benefit from consistent daily use over 2-3 months to achieve full effect. Some (like vitamins and minerals) can be taken indefinitely as part of a daily routine. Others (like specific herbs) may benefit from cycling. Follow the product's recommended protocol or consult a practitioner.
Fat-soluble supplements (vitamins A, D, E, K, omega-3, CoQ10) should be taken with a meal containing fat. Water-soluble supplements (B vitamins, vitamin C) can be taken anytime. Minerals are generally best absorbed with food. Probiotics should be taken with or just before a meal. Check the product label for specific timing recommendations.
Track your specific health goals — energy levels, sleep quality, joint comfort, digestion, mood, etc. Most supplements take 2-8 weeks for noticeable effects. For objective measurement, baseline lab tests before starting (and repeat at 3 months) provide definitive evidence. The Gabriel Score incorporates clinical evidence for expected outcomes.
