Nature's Way Borage, Cold Pressed Oil 1300mg, 60 Softgels

Absolutely love this. I've struggled with acne for 10 years

Absolutely love this. I've struggled with acne for 10 years, despite eating clean and only drinking water, but I can finally say I have found a regimen that works wonders not only for my skin but my overall health as well. I did some research and made a vitamin cocktail which includes Borage seed oil, zinc, and vitamin A. These are just a few of the vitamins and minerals that our skin cells use to prevent and heal acne. When I first started taking the 3 supplements (all with a meal paired with at least 60 oz of water a day) I broke out no more than usual. Rather than panic I continued to take them. I've done plenty of research and was pretty confident that this new dose of goodness was clearing my system, basically detoxifying my body, of all the garbage that was causing my acne. I did my best to not pop any, which took an extreme amount of control, but it was so worth it because after my 2nd week of taking this cocktail of magic those giant cyst and white heads had reduced to practically nothing at all. I haven't tried to stop taking them in fear of breaking out once again due to no longer feeding my body these necessary minerals and vitamins but it is something I will eventually have to do. However I would not mind at all spending my money on vitamins and minerals that prove useful to my health so it is definitely worth it. My complete face regimen is as follows: I wash with any Shea moisture bar soap (black soap is great for acne) I use witch hazel as toner or I'll switch it up and sometimes use equal parts apple cider vinegar and water (the smell takes some getting used to but ACV is also AMAZING for several uses) I only use tea tree oil as a spot treatment (which also has a potent smell but is great!) I moisturize with unrefined cold pressed coconut oil (unrefined is best) with a dab of vitamin e oil (which works miracles on scars anywhere any kind) I use an Aztec clay mask twice a week for a deep cleaning (it has a tingly tightening feeling and might leave your face red for about 20 minutes after) it reduced a lot of the cyst around my chin I also like to just play with other stuff like honey, or tomatoes, occasionally I'll make other kinds of facial masks using ALL NATURAL FOOD PRODUCTS And then of course the 3 supplements 1 tablet of each, vitamin A, zinc, and borage seed oil not necessarily at the same time, but all with a meal Bottom line is really think about and try to understand that what our body puts out is DIRECTLY related to what we put in. Eating right is a big help but sometimes not the answer. On a cellular level we need certain things. All those prescription acne treatments and over the counter products and major companies like clean and clear or proactiv don't actually help your skin, it's a temporary fix, and it makes sense why they would do that, they need people to continue to buy their products over and over, they create a dependency. I really hope this helps someone, I understand the struggle and have just been so happy since I started this regimen

The best.

When you compare this to other Borage Oil supplements that also have 60 capsules, those are usually priced at $21. This is merely $12, a STEAL for the quality. The other ones I've compared are only 1000 mg capsules, where this is 1300 mg! Others have only 360mg of Omega-6 in total, where this has 781 mg. Others have 220mg of GLA where this has 312 mg per capsule. There is NO COMPETITION for the price and QUALITY. This product works wonders. I just don't feel right without it. If I take 2 capsules in the AM with first meal and 1 or 2 with dinner, my acne is literally GONE, and I have CYSTIC acne. Borage oil is the only thing that has ever worked for my acne. I have horrible circulation to my hands and feet, they are always freezing.. I'm only 19. Yet I take this and they are warm and I feel the blood flowing. My skin is better and my hormones are better because it helps with hormone metabolism. I can't go without this product and I will ONLY purchase Nature's Way. Thank you NW

GREAT FOR YOUR SKIN, DR.O recommended!

This brand is a good one 1st off & has one of the highest concentractions of the oil. My Mother watch a Dr. Oz show where he said to forget about all the anti-wrinkle creams etc, they do nothing more than moisturize your skin, unless you use a perscription Retinoid product! He said the "Borage oil" was the Best to use on your face for moisture & FINE LINES. you can take it internal or as he said, pop open a capsule & rub it oil on your EYE area (especially!) and other problem areas. He DID NOT say to use any specific brand- just a pure Borage oil. I choose this one for the high potency & price. It works great for my Mothers skin, she saw results in a week or less! I have combo dry/oily skin so I use it on my eye area mostly. I do notice less creasing & Im going to continue using it. I take a pill every other day & try to remember to put it on my eye are each nite. Its really easy to pierce open ( or bite) the capsule & squeeze out a bit as needed. These are kinda big, so 1 will last you a few nights of putting it on your face area. Other brands of Borage oil might work just as well, I liked this brand, the high potency, all natural Borage. I didnt want anything w/ fillers or other added ingredients. Its also good for your hair when you take a pill a day, & I have noticed a difference in my hair as well. Very happy, will purchase this again. JR

GREAT FOR HOT FLASHES

I read in a magazine that borage oil was good for hot flashes and I decided to try this brand. It has a high concentration of GLA which is supposed to work on hot flashes and hotness. After a few weeks I noticed I wasn't hot or flashing. I really knew this was working when the bottle finished and I didn't reorder. Within 2 weeks I was seriously hot all the time again and getting hot flashes every hour. Even my feet get hot like I'm being slow roasted on a spit!!! I started another bottle and within 2 weeks I was no longer flashing or hot! I'm on my third bottle now. I will not be without this again. I can't say it has done anything for my dry skin or acne. Just what I need, to feel like my internal thermostat is on 450 degrees, HOT FLASHES, DRY SKIN and ACNE right! Some women breeze thru menopause and some suffer so bad, then comes belly fat and wrinkles :(((( But the worst of my problems were the hot flashes/hotness and I can say that about 98 percent of it is gone when I'm taking this stuff. I get occasional hot flashes but they are mild and not too intense. And I'm not anywhere near as hot all the time anymore. I still feel the hotness, LOL, but only occasionally!!! This brand is also non GMO which gets a plus by me :

This has helped give relief to my old dogs arthritis

I have a small dog that's 17 years old. It's sadly humbling to realize what is in my control and what isn't. Our daily walks are slow as she trails behind me and I've noticed her movements becoming progressively more stiff and slower. I found that supplementing a capsule of Borage oil into her wet food every 2nd/3rd day has helped a lot with her arthritis and has given her increased mobility. Borage oil contains Linoleic acid (LA) and Gamma-Linoleic acid (GLA) which are Omega-6 essential fatty acids with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. I hope somebody finds this information helpful

I really do feel better and more rested

I have struggled with rosacea for many years. I was very hopeful that this would help. Oddly, it completely stopped my arthritis instead! After about 6 weeks of regular, 2 a day consumption, I awoke one day and realized that I had absolutely no pain in my body. Anywhere! Taking this product is the only thing that changed in my daily routine. It also seems to have helped with my sometimes irregular heartbeat. As to the rosacea, no real change, but I will take the other benefits and be grateful. This will remain part of my daily regimen forever. I am also noticing that it seems to help my sleep...I really do feel better and more rested. It clearly is a nutritional deficiency that Borage addresses. My thinking is that everyone likely needs it

Helped with my acne

This product helped me get my acne under control. It was recommended to me when I got a facial at the spa. I searched on amazon for borage oil and this was the best deal I could find with the highest mgs. It's an easy to swallow capsule, it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth, and I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin and complexion. I used to have ridiculous amounts of sebum oil on my face- especially my nose and chin- and I would have to scrape it off every single day, but after I started using this product it went away super quickly. I don't have to worry about having clogged pores full of white gunk anymore. Sorry if that sounds gross

Pretty close to a miracle!

I got this for my daughter because she had such bad cramps(TOM) she would throw up. After research on the net, I found she might be suffering from GLA deficiency and that Borage oil could help. It did AND cleared up her acne, which we have tried many things for that also. Very happy

Nature's Way Borage Oil 1300mg, 60 Softgels 24% GLA

I just recieved this Borage Oil today. I have taken Borage oil previously so I will start taking it after dinner tonight. You should always take Borage oil with or after a meal it boosts the absorption rate and ensures you are utilizing the product and metabolizing it appropriatly.The oil in the caps is clear and included which is good and the smell is normal also a good sign of a quality product. This has 24%GLA so it is really good for inflammation and joint pain. Also aids in weight loss and skin conditions. You can use this product directly on the skin BUT all Borage oil has no matter what brand you buy contains glycerin so if this is a issue and you want to use it on your skin buy a regular oil not the caps. Nature's way brand Borage oil is Cold pressed unrefined and the seeds they press the oil from is non-bioengineered and that's all very important to know before you buy Borage oil. You will want to refrigerate this after recieving it and keep it in the fridge all Borage products oxidize and go rancid e easily

Great product

60 year old woman here. I was having significant knee pain and shots, ibuprofen and exercises were not helping. My orthopedist recommended surgery. I tried this instead. It's been amazing. I haven't had knee pain in the 3 years I've been taking it and recommend it to all my aging friends
