Borage Oil OmegaTru®: Hydrated Skin, Hormonal Balance and Joint Comfort – Active Omega-6 for Inflammation, Elasticity and General Health

Borage Oil (Borage), 1000 mg, Swanson is a premium dietary supplement, formulated with OmegaTru® borage oil 1 g, a valuable source of essential fatty acids, recognized especially for its high content of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) – an active omega-6, involved in inflammation balancing processes and in maintaining skin health, joints and hormonal balance. Each serving provides minimum Linoleic acid (omega-6) 300 mg, Gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6) 190 mg and Oleic acid (omega-9) 120 mg, a complex lipid profile, oriented towards supporting cellular barriers, membrane flexibility and proper tissue functioning.

Fatty acids are fundamental components of the body. They enter the structure of cell membranes, influence skin hydration, tissue elasticity and the way the body manages inflammation. In modern lifestyle, unbalanced diet, stress and environmental factors can affect fatty acid metabolism and can amplify inflammatory processes, with visible effects such as dry skin, sensitivity, joint discomfort, hormonal fluctuations and general state of fatigue.

Borage oil is considered one of the richest natural sources of GLA, a fatty acid that can support conversion towards beneficial lipid compounds involved in inflammation regulation and in normal functioning of skin and immune system. Through its concentrated intake, Borage Oil OmegaTru® offers targeted support for people who want more hydrated and elastic skin, better joint comfort and sustained internal balance, especially in periods of stress, seasonal changes or increased sensitivity.

Detailed Benefits of Borage Oil (OmegaTru®) with GLA

• Skin hydration support and skin barrier

Healthy skin depends on lipid barrier integrity, which maintains hydration and protects against external factors. When this barrier is weakened, skin can become dry, rough, sensitive and prone to irritation. Essential fatty acids, especially active omega-6 like GLA, play an important role in maintaining elasticity and skin's ability to retain water.

As the lipid barrier becomes more fragile, the following may appear:
• Dry and flaky skin
• Feeling of "tightness" after washing
• Sensitivity to cold, wind or cosmetic products
• Dull appearance and uneven texture

Borage oil can support skin through:
✅ Hydration from within – support for skin's lipid barrier
✅ Improved elasticity – more supple and comfortable skin
✅ Protection against dryness – maintaining a smooth and uniform appearance

This benefit is relevant both for mature skin and for people with sensitive skin or exposed to aggressive environmental factors.

• Inflammation balancing and discomfort reduction associated with sensitivity

Low-grade chronic inflammation can influence skin, joints and general energy state. GLA is a special omega-6 because it can be metabolized towards compounds with a role in regulating inflammatory response, contributing to a better balance between pro-inflammatory processes and resolution ones.

When inflammation is increased, the following may appear:
• Reactive skin and frequent irritations
• Joint discomfort after effort or weather changes
• Feeling of stiffness and sensitivity in tissues
• General state of "burden" and fatigue

Borage oil can support:
✅ Balanced inflammatory response – support for body's natural processes
✅ Joint and tissue comfort – less sensitivity in demanding periods
✅ More stable general state – more balanced body, less reactive

• Joint health support and flexibility

Joints need resistant connective tissue and optimal lubrication for fluid movement. When inflammation or tissue dryness increases, stiffness and discomfort during movement may appear. Fatty acids from borage oil contribute to maintaining cell membrane flexibility and can support joint comfort, especially in the case of active people or those who feel stiffness after rest.

As joints are overloaded, the following may appear:
• Morning stiffness
• Discomfort in knees, shoulders, hips
• Slower recovery after physical effort

Borage oil can help through:
✅ Better mobility – support for fluid movement
✅ Joint comfort – reduction of stiffness feeling
✅ Connective tissue support – flexibility and long-term resistance

• Hormonal balance and comfort in periods with fluctuations

Fatty acid metabolism is related to the way the body synthesizes and uses mediators involved in hormonal balance. GLA is often associated with comfort support in periods of hormonal fluctuations, when sensitivity, water retention, mood changes or skin appearance variations may occur.

In periods of imbalance, the following may appear:
• Premenstrual discomfort and sensitivity
• Skin changes (sebum, irritations, dryness)
• Energy and emotional state fluctuations

Borage oil can support:
✅ Comfort in hormonal periods – support for internal balance
✅ More stable skin – positive influence on skin reactivity
✅ More balanced general state – support for vitality and good mood

• Cardiovascular health support through complex lipid profile

Although omega-6 are sometimes controversially discussed, essential fatty acids remain vital for health. Linoleic acid (omega-6) is essential, and oleic acid (omega-9) is associated with supporting cardiovascular health and cell membranes. In a balanced formula, these fatty acids contribute to normal cell and circulatory system functioning.

Lipid profile benefits include:
✅ Cell membrane support – flexibility and optimal functioning
✅ General cardiovascular support – contribution to lipid balance
✅ Energy and vitality – fatty acids are fuel and cellular structure

• OmegaTru® and standardized fatty acid intake

An important advantage of the product is the mention of minimum fatty acid intake: linoleic acid 300 mg, GLA 190 mg, oleic acid 120 mg. This standardization offers predictability and confidence in the amount of active compounds, which is essential for people pursuing visible benefits on skin and joint comfort.

Standardization advantages:
✅ Consistent GLA intake – targeted support for skin, hormones and joints
✅ Complete lipid profile – essential omega-6 + omega-9 for balance
✅ Results-oriented quality – formula designed for daily support
