- Product Information
- Starflower or borage seeds are the richest plant source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an important omega-6 fatty acid. Starflower oil is often recommended to women at the time of their period or those going through the menopause and can be taken as an alternative to evening primrose oil. This formula is also an excellent partner to our specialist multivitamin for women, Multi-Max® Woman.
Our high-strength starflower oil contains a guaranteed level of 215mg GLA (22%), making it one of the strongest formulas available and fantastic value for money. Each easy-to-swallow, one-a-day capsule delivers more than twice the amount of GLA found in an equivalently sized evening primrose oil capsule.
We've chosen to suspend our starflower oil in capsules, not tablets, since a soft-gel casing stabilises the precious ingredients and is more suitable for oil-based materials.

Our starflower oil is grown in the UK on farms working with nature to produce top quality oils. As a crop, borage has few natural pests, so there's little need for herbicides. Honeybees are excellent pollinators and borage being one of the few late-flowering plants provides an important food source.
We insist on the highest quality standards. This formula is made in UK factories working to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
Our product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

As with the majority of our products, this should be used daily for at least three months before the effects are assessed. It would be great if you could leave a review after this time.

I bought this product to help with PMS symptoms. I have been taking it for 2 months now and my PMS symptoms have reduced by 90%. So glad I found out about this product, it’s hard to find a good quality product which is suitable for vegetarians too. I will be buying more. Don’t think I can go without them now, knowing how effective they are.
