Product Information

Starflower Oil is the oil extracted from borage seeds which has been found to have a naturally high level of the precious compound called GLA. This is an Omega 6 fatty acid which is used by the body to make certain hormones. In theory our bodies can make GLA but research on evening primrose oil has shown that supplements of GLA can be helpful for some people, and now many women choose a GLA supplement around the time of their period.

Starflower Oil is a very concentrated source of GLA which means that each capsule can deliver more than twice the level of GLA than the equivalent sized evening primrose capsule.

Each vegetarian capsules provide a massive 220mg of GLA per capsule, making this an impressive, high potency one-a-day product.

The oil is just strong enough to alleviate breast discomfort. If not taken everyday, the discomfort returns. Therefore, the EPA must be working!

"Working For Me"

I have been taking evening primrose for many years to stable my period pain, worked perfectly. then upgraded a few years ago to evening primrose with added starflower, as periods got slightly worse - this worked for me for at least 5 years or so..until recently (I'm 45).. I started to get mood swings badly last year, really really low and constant crying. I just go with it, knew it was hormones... but i thought i needed another boost of GLA. came across the starflower higher strength and have been taking for a few months now and I noticed a difference pretty much on my the first cycle. no major mood swings, period really good. will see when menopause hits..if it hasn't already...will probably just take double! don't want to take anything other than natural products really. great stuff and love Nature's Best. I always recommend to friends & family. obviously however everyone is different, but worth trying. good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

The evidence for Starflower Oil supporting hot flushes is a little thin on the ground. However, I am pleased to hear that you have found this helpful.
