DEVA Vegan Vitamins, Borage Oil 500mg, Source of Omega-6 Fatty Acid GLA (Gamma linolenic Acid), Cold-Pressed & Unrefined, 90 Tablets 1-Pack

I had a particularly nasty breakout that lasted 8 months. It was terrible; I've never had cystic acne, but it definitely looked like it. There were cysts, whiteheads, a lot of redness. Nothing I tried was helping; I was completely crushed and very self-conscious about it.I went to a new dermatologist and she recommended this to help with my acne. Not only did it basically solve my skin care woes, it worked MAGIC for my menstrual cramps! I have never had a period where I wasn't writhing in pain and vomiting for at least the first 24 hours. But after about 4 weeks of taking borage oil twice a day, I was absolutely perfect! I had almost no pain, and was able to go about my day normally.I did have ONE issue, though I'm not sure it was related to this supplement or not: the second time I got my period while taking borage oil, I had terrible period flooding which has never happened to me. Honestly, I was so happy to not be in pain that I kept taking it anyway and I haven't had any problems since!

This seems to be a high quality supplement, and I'm glad to find a vegan version (for some reason it's very hard to find vegan versions of evening primrose or borage oils). I've been taking it with hemp, flax, and fish oils for ADD (several studies have shown low levels of various important fats in ADD patients, so I'm trying to cover my bases), and I've given some to female friends who've had less irritability, mood swings, and intrusive thoughts during moon time while taking it.

Packing and quality product

This was recommended by my doctor as a healthy and effective way to maintain good health as a vegetarian. I’ve used it for years!

I did hours of researching, comparing every single source of GLA, among borage, hemp, black currant oil, and rosehip seed oil. This is the cheapest source of the highest dose of GLA that you can find online. So if that is what you are looking for, this is the best option for you! I take this to improve my overall skin quality, along with DIM, and have noticed significant improvements in my skin. My acne lesions have reduced, and my skin seems smoother overall.

I bought these for months and see no difference. I won’t be purchasing more. Seems like more Amazon misleading products.

This helps immensely with my thinking and mood. I noticed a difference right away. The capsules are a good size. I wish I had known about this sooner.

I initially took it to help ease pains in my lower back. As prescription medications make me so tired. But, I actually didn’t notice any difference.
