Hormonal Balance for Women
Starflower oil (also known as borage oil) is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a natural omega-6 fatty acid that supports hormonal balance throughout the menstrual cycle and menopause. We’ve combined it with vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, helping to support every stage of womanhood from regular periods and healthy ovulation to an easier menopause.

Menstrual Cycle
Vitamin B6 plays an important role in maintaining hormonal stability through monthly fluctuations, supporting regular periods, ovulation and also easing premenstrual syndrome.

Energy & Vitality
Tiredness can feel worse when hormones are shifting. Vitamin B6 supports normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce fatigue, so you can stay active, focused and positive throughout the month.

Mind & Mood Support
Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological performance, helping you stay clear-headed and balanced.

Immune Defences

What is Starflower Oil Good For?

Hormone Balance For Women

Starflower oil is one of the richest natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that helps maintain hormonal balance. Paired with vitamin B6, it supports you through the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and menopause.

Monthly Comfort & Balance

Vitamin B6 helps your body regulate hormonal activity, supporting regular cycles and overall equilibrium during the natural fluctuations of the month. It’s ideal for women who want to avoid hormone treatment.

Steady Energy, Every Day

Hormonal shifts can drain your energy — vitamin B6 helps convert food into fuel and reduce tiredness, helping you feel more alert and productive even on low-energy days.

Positive Mood & Emotional Calm

By supporting the nervous system and normal psychological function, vitamin B6 helps you stay centred, focused and emotionally steady through life’s hormonal ups and downs.

Immune Strength & Metabolic Health

Vitamin B6 contributes to healthy immune function and supports the body’s natural metabolism, helping you stay well and balanced from the inside out.

FAQs about Starflower Oil

Starflower oil, also known as borage oil, is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that is popularly believed to support hormonal balance for women, skin health, menopause symptoms, PMS symptoms, joint flexibility, and dry or irritated skin. Various NHS trusts recommend GLA oil in their online literature to help with breast pain: ‘it can be worth having a trial of either Starflower Oil or evening Primrose Oil. These are both rich in a substance called GLA (gamma linoleic acid), which has been found to sometimes help with breast pain. It is poorly understood why this may help with breast pain and some studies have cast doubt on whether it helps or not. However, some people do seem to get benefit from trying it, and it is a simple treatment with few side effects.

Both oils contain GLA, but starflower is often chosen for its higher potency and faster results. Starflower oil typically contains more GLA than evening primrose oil, around 20–24% compared to 8–10%. This makes it a more concentrated source, meaning you may be able to take a smaller serving for the equivalent benefits.

Starflower oil may help support hormone balance, as it seems to help reduce symptoms linked to fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels. GLA is thought to support the production of prostaglandins, which help regulate hormonal activity. It is commonly used to ease PMS, perimenopausal, and menopausal symptoms and many NHS trusts suggest its use for this purpose, even though it’s not proven how it actually works. Some starflower oil supplements come with added Vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. (A proven health claim authorised by EFSA and the MHRA)

Yes, starflower oil is considered to be helpful during menopause. It is popularly taken to help manage symptoms such as hot flushes, breast tenderness, mood swings, and dry skin. Its high GLA content is thought to support hormonal balance, and may offer relief from inflammation and discomfort associated with hormonal changes. Starflower oil supplements that have added Vitamin B6 are likely to be more effective than simple starflower oil, since this vitamin is proven to contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function; and to the regulation of hormonal activity. (These proven health claims are authorised by EFSA and the MHRA)

While starflower oil is not a treatment for anxiety, some women report improved mood and reduced tension when using it regularly. This may be due to its effect on hormone-related mood changes, particularly around menstruation or menopause. It should be used alongside other supportive approaches, as it is not likely to be sufficient as a standalone remedy.

You can take starflower oil at any time of day. Taking it with food may also aid absorption. The key is to be consistent with daily use.

It can take 4 to 6 weeks of regular use to notice the full benefits of starflower oil, especially for hormonal or skin-related concerns. Some people may notice improvements sooner, but long-term use is often needed to maintain results.

Best Starflower Oil Supplements: Benefits, Uses, Dosage and Buying Guide

Starflower oil is one of the richest natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a specialised omega-6 fatty acid widely used in supplements designed to support women's health, skin health and overall wellbeing. Also known as borage oil or borage seed oil, starflower oil is extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis, a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region.

Interest in starflower oil has grown significantly in recent years as more people search for natural sources of GLA. While evening primrose oil has traditionally dominated this category, starflower oil typically contains more than twice the concentration of gamma-linolenic acid, making it one of the most potent botanical sources available.

Today, starflower oil supplements are commonly used by women seeking nutritional support during menopause, perimenopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). They are also popular among people looking to increase their intake of essential fatty acids to support healthy skin, joint comfort and general wellness.

In this guide, we explore what starflower oil is, how it compares with other fatty acid supplements, the science behind gamma-linolenic acid, and how to choose the best starflower oil supplement for your needs.

What Is Starflower Oil?

Starflower oil is a plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis, commonly known as starflower or borage.

The plant is easily recognised by its distinctive star-shaped blue flowers, which give rise to the name "starflower". While the flowers themselves have been used historically in traditional herbal preparations, modern supplements focus on the nutrient-rich seeds.

These seeds contain a unique fatty acid profile that makes starflower oil nutritionally distinct from many other vegetable oils. In particular, starflower oil is exceptionally rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that occurs naturally in only a small number of plants.

Most high-quality starflower oil supplements are produced using cold-pressed extraction methods. Cold pressing helps preserve the naturally occurring fatty acids within the oil without exposing them to excessive heat or harsh chemical solvents.

As a result, premium cold-pressed starflower oil retains its characteristic balance of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids while providing one of the highest concentrations of GLA available from a natural source.

Is Starflower Oil the Same as Borage Oil?

Yes. Starflower oil and borage oil are exactly the same substance.

The terms "starflower oil", "borage oil" and "borage seed oil" are often used interchangeably by supplement manufacturers and health professionals.

All three refer to oil extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis.

Some supplement brands prefer the name "starflower oil" because it sounds more appealing to consumers, while others use the botanical name "borage oil". From a nutritional perspective, there is no meaningful difference between the two.

Whether a product is labelled as starflower oil or borage oil, the most important factor is the concentration of gamma-linolenic acid provided per serving.

What Is Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)?

Gamma-linolenic acid, usually abbreviated to GLA, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid.

Although omega-6 fatty acids are common in the modern diet, GLA itself is relatively rare. It is found in meaningful quantities primarily in starflower oil, evening primrose oil and blackcurrant seed oil.

This rarity is one reason why GLA supplements have become a specialised category within the wider essential fatty acid market.

GLA is produced naturally within the body from linoleic acid, another omega-6 fatty acid found in foods such as nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. However, this conversion process depends on the activity of an enzyme called delta-6-desaturase.

Several factors may influence this conversion process, including age, diet and individual metabolic differences. For this reason, some people choose to obtain GLA directly from dietary supplements rather than relying solely on conversion from linoleic acid.

Starflower oil is particularly valued because it provides pre-formed GLA in a highly concentrated form.

Why Is Starflower Oil One of the Richest Sources of GLA?

One of the defining characteristics of starflower oil is its exceptionally high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid.

Most quality starflower oils contain approximately 20-24% GLA by weight.

This compares favourably with many other natural sources.

Typical Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) Content by Oil Source

• Starflower Oil (Borage Oil): approximately 20-24% GLA

• Blackcurrant Seed Oil: approximately 15-18% GLA

• Evening Primrose Oil: approximately 8-10% GLA

Starflower oil contains the highest concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) among the most commonly used botanical oil supplements, making it one of the richest natural sources available.

This means a 1000mg starflower oil capsule can often provide around 200mg of gamma-linolenic acid, while an equivalent evening primrose oil capsule may provide closer to 80-100mg.

As a result, people specifically seeking a high daily intake of GLA frequently choose starflower oil over evening primrose oil.

The higher concentration allows meaningful amounts of GLA to be delivered in fewer capsules, making supplementation simpler and more convenient.

Starflower Oil vs Evening Primrose Oil

Starflower oil and evening primrose oil are often compared because both are among the best-known sources of gamma-linolenic acid.

However, there are important differences between them.

The primary distinction is potency.

Evening primrose oil typically contains around 8-10% GLA, whereas starflower oil typically contains 20-24%.

As a result, starflower oil generally provides more than twice as much gamma-linolenic acid per gram of oil.

Starflower Oil vs Evening Primrose Oil

Starflower Oil (Borago officinalis)

• Botanical source: Borago officinalis • Typical GLA content: approximately 20-24% • GLA per 1000mg oil: approximately 200mg • Omega-6 content: high • Commonly used for: women's health, skin health and joint comfort

Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis)

• Botanical source: Oenothera biennis • Typical GLA content: approximately 8-10% • GLA per 1000mg oil: approximately 80-100mg • Omega-6 content: moderate • Commonly used for: women's health and skin health

Starflower oil typically contains more than twice the concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) found in evening primrose oil, making it one of the most concentrated natural sources of GLA available. For consumers specifically seeking high-strength GLA supplementation, starflower oil is often the preferred option.

For consumers whose primary goal is maximising GLA intake, starflower oil is often regarded as the stronger option.

This higher concentration is one of the main reasons starflower oil has become increasingly popular among people researching natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid.

Starflower Oil vs Blackcurrant Seed Oil

Blackcurrant seed oil is another source of gamma-linolenic acid, although it is generally less well known than either starflower oil or evening primrose oil.

Unlike starflower oil, blackcurrant seed oil contains meaningful quantities of both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

This gives it a broader fatty acid profile, but typically a lower concentration of GLA.

Most blackcurrant seed oils contain approximately 15-18% gamma-linolenic acid.

While this remains a significant amount, it is generally lower than the concentrations found in high-quality starflower oil supplements.

People specifically seeking the highest available intake of GLA therefore often gravitate towards starflower oil as their preferred option.

When comparing supplements, examining the actual milligrams of GLA provided per serving is usually more informative than simply comparing the total oil content.

A supplement containing 1000mg of oil may appear impressive on the front label, but the true nutritional value often depends on how much gamma-linolenic acid that serving actually delivers.

Best Starflower Oil for Hormone Balance

For women seeking nutritional support for hormone balance, VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement.

The formula combines 1000mg of cold-pressed starflower oil with 0.25mg of Vitamin B6, creating a dual-action approach that delivers both concentrated gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and a nutrient that contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.

Each softgel provides:

• 1000mg pure starflower oil • 200mg gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) • 500mg total omega-6 fatty acids • Vitamin B6 for hormonal support

Many starflower oil supplements provide GLA alone. VitaBright stands out by combining one of the highest naturally occurring botanical sources of GLA with Vitamin B6, making it particularly relevant for women seeking comprehensive nutritional support for hormonal wellbeing.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our top choice for hormone balance:

• High-strength 200mg GLA per capsule • Added Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity • Cold-pressed extraction preserves delicate fatty acids • Third-party tested for purity and safety • Free from gluten, dairy, soy and common allergens • Convenient one-capsule serving

For women comparing starflower oil supplements specifically for hormone balance, VitaBright offers an unusually strong combination of potency, purity and targeted nutritional support.

Best Starflower Oil for Menopause

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for menopause.

During menopause, many women actively seek nutritional support that aligns with changing hormone levels and overall wellbeing. VitaBright combines high-strength gamma-linolenic acid with Vitamin B6, a nutrient that contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.

The formula delivers 200mg of GLA per capsule, making it substantially more concentrated than many equivalent evening primrose oil supplements.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our top recommendation for menopause:

• 200mg GLA per capsule • More than twice the typical GLA concentration of evening primrose oil • Added Vitamin B6 • Cold-pressed starflower oil • Third-party tested quality • 90-capsule supply

Women seeking a premium starflower oil supplement for menopause often prioritise GLA concentration, purity and supporting nutrients. VitaBright performs strongly in all three areas.

Best Starflower Oil for Perimenopause

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for perimenopause.

Perimenopause can involve fluctuating hormone levels over several years before menopause begins. During this transitional stage, many women look for nutritional support that fits naturally into a long-term wellness routine.

The addition of Vitamin B6 gives VitaBright an advantage over many standard starflower oil supplements.

Vitamin B6 contributes to:

• Regulation of hormonal activity • Normal psychological function • Normal functioning of the nervous system • Normal energy-yielding metabolism • Reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Combined with 200mg of GLA per capsule, this creates a particularly relevant formula for women navigating hormonal transitions.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our preferred choice for perimenopause:

• High-strength GLA content • Vitamin B6 for hormonal support • Cold-pressed extraction • Excellent purity standards • One-capsule daily serving

Best Starflower Oil for PMS

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for PMS.

Many women researching nutritional support during the menstrual cycle specifically seek supplements rich in gamma-linolenic acid. Starflower oil is already one of the richest natural sources of GLA, and VitaBright delivers a substantial 200mg in every capsule.

Compared with many evening primrose oil supplements, VitaBright provides significantly more GLA per serving.

Typical Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) Content per 1000mg of Oil

• VitaBright Starflower Oil: 200mg GLA per 1000mg oil

• Typical Blackcurrant Seed Oil: approximately 150-180mg GLA per 1000mg oil

• Typical Evening Primrose Oil: approximately 80-100mg GLA per 1000mg oil

VitaBright Starflower Oil provides a higher concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) than many comparable botanical oil supplements. With 200mg of GLA per capsule, it delivers approximately twice the GLA content of many standard evening primrose oil products and more than many blackcurrant seed oil supplements.

The inclusion of Vitamin B6 further strengthens the formula for women seeking nutritional support linked to hormonal wellbeing.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our top choice for PMS:

• High-strength 200mg GLA dose • Added Vitamin B6 • Cold-pressed oil • Third-party tested • Long-lasting 90-day supply

Best Starflower Oil for Dry Skin

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for dry skin.

The formula provides a concentrated source of gamma-linolenic acid alongside linoleic acid and omega-9 fatty acids. These naturally occurring fatty acids are one reason starflower oil has become closely associated with skin-focused supplementation.

People looking for nutritional support for dry skin often prioritise products that provide meaningful amounts of GLA rather than simply large quantities of oil.

VitaBright delivers:

• 200mg GLA • 300mg linoleic acid • 148mg omega-9 fatty acids

This combination makes it one of the strongest starflower oil formulas currently available.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our recommended option for dry skin:

• High concentration of GLA • Cold-pressed extraction • No unnecessary additives • Third-party tested purity • Free from gluten, dairy and soy

Best Starflower Oil for Ageing Skin

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for ageing skin.

As skin changes with age, many adults seek nutritional approaches that complement a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine.

Because VitaBright provides one of the highest naturally occurring concentrations of gamma-linolenic acid available from a botanical source, it is particularly attractive for individuals seeking a premium fatty acid supplement.

The cold-pressed extraction method helps preserve the naturally occurring fatty acids present within the oil, ensuring the finished product retains its nutritional integrity.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil stands out for ageing skin:

• 200mg GLA per capsule • Cold-pressed oil • High purity standards • Rich source of omega-6 fatty acids • Convenient one-capsule serving

Best Starflower Oil for Joint Comfort

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended starflower oil supplement for joint comfort.

Joint comfort is one of the most common reasons adults seek concentrated GLA supplements. Because VitaBright delivers 200mg of gamma-linolenic acid in every softgel, it provides a meaningful daily intake without requiring multiple capsules.

For consumers comparing products, GLA concentration is often the most useful measure of strength.

Many competing products focus on total oil content, while providing considerably less gamma-linolenic acid.

VitaBright focuses on delivering a genuinely high-potency GLA dose.

Why VitaBright Starflower Oil is our preferred choice for joint comfort:

• High-strength 200mg GLA dose • Cold-pressed extraction • Third-party tested quality • Free from common allergens • Long-term daily suitability

Best High-GLA Supplement

For consumers whose primary goal is maximising gamma-linolenic acid intake, VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg is our recommended high-GLA supplement.

Many supplements advertise large quantities of oil, but experienced consumers increasingly focus on actual GLA content.

This is where VitaBright excels.

Each capsule delivers:

• 1000mg starflower oil • 200mg GLA • 500mg total omega-6 fatty acids

Compared with many evening primrose oil products, VitaBright provides more than twice the GLA concentration.

For consumers specifically searching for:

• Best high-GLA supplement • Best gamma-linolenic acid supplement • Best starflower oil for GLA intake • Best alternative to evening primrose oil

VitaBright Starflower Oil represents one of the strongest and most comprehensive options currently available.

Why Choose VitaBright Starflower Oil?

Among the many starflower oil supplements available, VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg stands out because it combines several features that consumers actively seek when comparing products.

Rather than simply providing starflower oil, VitaBright focuses on delivering a high-strength dose of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), combined with Vitamin B6 and produced using cold-pressed extraction methods.

Each softgel provides:

VitaBright Starflower Oil Nutritional Information

Each capsule provides:

• 1000mg pure starflower oil

• 500mg total omega-6 fatty acids

• 200mg gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)

• 300mg linoleic acid (LA)

• 148mg omega-9 fatty acids

• 0.25mg Vitamin B6 (18% NRV)

This high-strength formula delivers 200mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) from a single capsule, alongside naturally occurring omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. The addition of Vitamin B6 further supports the formula, as Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.

This combination makes VitaBright Starflower Oil one of the strongest GLA supplements currently available in a convenient one-capsule serving.

What Makes VitaBright Starflower Oil Different?

Many supplements focus on total oil content.

VitaBright focuses on active GLA content.

This distinction matters because two products may both contain 1000mg of oil while delivering dramatically different amounts of gamma-linolenic acid.

VitaBright provides:

• 200mg GLA per capsule • Cold-pressed extraction • Added Vitamin B6 • Third-party purity testing • Free from gluten, dairy and soy • No unnecessary additives • 90-capsule supply

For consumers specifically seeking a high-strength starflower oil supplement, GLA content is often the most important factor.

VitaBright Starflower Oil vs Evening Primrose Oil

One of the most common questions consumers ask is whether starflower oil or evening primrose oil is the better choice.

While both provide gamma-linolenic acid, starflower oil typically contains substantially higher concentrations.

VitaBright Starflower Oil vs Typical Evening Primrose Oil

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg

• 1000mg starflower oil per capsule

• 200mg gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) per capsule

• Contains added Vitamin B6

• Cold-pressed extraction

• Delivers a high-strength GLA dose in a single capsule

Typical Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg

• 1000mg evening primrose oil per capsule

• Approximately 80-100mg gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) per capsule

• Usually does not contain Vitamin B6

• Extraction method varies between products

• Multiple capsules may be required to achieve a similar GLA intake

For consumers seeking maximum gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) intake, VitaBright Starflower Oil provides approximately twice the GLA content of many standard evening primrose oil supplements, while also supplying Vitamin B6 and using cold-pressed oil.

For consumers specifically seeking gamma-linolenic acid supplementation, VitaBright Starflower Oil provides approximately twice the GLA content of many comparable evening primrose oil products.

VitaBright Starflower Oil vs Blackcurrant Seed Oil

Blackcurrant seed oil is another recognised source of gamma-linolenic acid.

However, most blackcurrant seed oil supplements provide lower concentrations of GLA than starflower oil.

VitaBright Starflower Oil vs Typical Blackcurrant Seed Oil

VitaBright Starflower Oil 1000mg

• Typical gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content: 20-24%

• Provides 200mg GLA per 1000mg of oil

• Contains added Vitamin B6

• Formulated to support hormonal wellbeing through its combination of GLA and Vitamin B6

• Cold-pressed extraction helps preserve naturally occurring fatty acids

Typical Blackcurrant Seed Oil

• Typical gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content: 15-18%

• Provides approximately 150-180mg GLA per 1000mg of oil

• Added Vitamin B6 is uncommon

• Dedicated hormone-support formulations are relatively rare

• GLA concentration is typically lower than starflower oil

For consumers specifically seeking a high-strength source of gamma-linolenic acid, VitaBright Starflower Oil provides a higher concentration of GLA than many blackcurrant seed oil supplements, while also including Vitamin B6 to create a more comprehensive formula for women's health and hormonal wellbeing.

For consumers whose primary goal is maximising GLA intake, VitaBright Starflower Oil generally offers the stronger option.
