Borage Seed Oil
Refined Borage Seed Oil for Nutritional Formulations
Borage oil, also known as borage seed oil or Borago officinalis seed oil, is a botanical oil used in nutritional formulations where its gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content is an important part of the ingredient specification.
Borage Oil with a Defined Fatty Acid Profile
The refined oil provides the characteristic fatty acid composition associated with borage seed oil. It is intended for formulators who need a clearly specified botanical oil rather than an undefined blended oil ingredient.
The ingredient is refined oil from borage seed, providing a clear botanical identity for formulation and purchasing records.

Applications
Where Borage Oil Fits in Supplement Formulations
Refined borage seed oil can be used across oil-based supplement formats, either as a primary botanical oil or as part of a broader nutritional oil blend.
Softgels
A practical format for delivering borage oil in measured oil fills, subject to the requirements of the finished softgel formula.
Capsules
Suitable for capsule systems designed for liquid oil ingredients where the selected shell and fill system are compatible with the formulation.
Oil-Based Formulas
Can be blended with other nutritional oils when the finished formula calls for a defined combination of fatty acid sources.
