Beauty from within
Borage oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids from the omega-6 group such as gamma-linolenic acid (18–25%) and linoleic acid (34–45%). Vitamin E stabilises the cell membranes and helps protect the cells from oxidative stress. The soft capsules are purely plant-based and easy to swallow. To ensure optimum quality, Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are subjected to numerous testing procedures from the raw materials through to the finished product to verify their quality and purity.
Unsaturated fatty acids are highly sensitive and are rapidly destroyed by oxygen in the air, rendering them ineffective. Alpinamed has succeeded in developing a novel method for stabilising fatty acids. This specific process uses an extract obtained from rosemary leaves, which effectively protects the oxidation-sensitive oils from oxidation. Studies clearly demonstrate that unsaturated fatty acids can be stabilised using this special method. The natural compounds found in rosemary have a high antioxidant potential and protect the borage oil capsules from oxidative damage and thus from becoming rancid. In addition, the capsules contain natural vitamin E as further protection against oxidation. Trust the quality of Alpinamed and ask specifically for Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules at your pharmacy or drugstore.
The selection of raw materials and the manufacturing of Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are subject to a stringent testing and quality assurance process. Before the ready-to-use product reaches the market, it undergoes a multi-stage laboratory analytical testing procedure. The oil obtained through gentle artisanal cold pressing is tested for identity, purity, freshness, content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, contaminants, environmental toxins and microbial impurities.
Borage oil (origin: NL), vitamin E, antioxidant: rosemary extract; capsule shell: modified starch, carrageenan; humectants: glycerin, sorbitol.
Take 3 capsules daily as a dietary supplement, either all at once or spread throughout the day.

| What are Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules? | Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are a food supplement in the form of vegan soft capsules for oral intake. Each capsule contains 500 mg of pure oil obtained from borage seeds through gentle mechanical cold pressing, as well as natural plant-derived vitamin E. Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and contain no cholesterol. The linoleic acid contained in Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 1.5 g of linoleic acid. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly sensitive and spoil quickly when they come into contact with oxygen in the air. Therefore, Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are protected from deterioration due to oxygen oxidation with natural vitamin E and a natural extract from the rosemary plant developed by Alpinamed. Thanks to this sophisticated protection process, the fatty acids in Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules remain active. |
| Why do Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules contain vitamin E? | The vegan vitamin E obtained from plant seeds helps protect the body’s cells from oxidative stress and preserves the sensitive borage oil from oxidation. |
| How are Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules dosed? | Adults usually take 3 capsules per day with a little liquid. The capsules can be taken all at once or spread throughout the day. The soft capsules are easy and pleasant to swallow. People who have difficulty swallowing can also open the capsules (cut or pierce them) and mix the oily capsule contents with other foods before taking them. Please note that borage oil may have its own characteristic taste. |
| How long should Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules be taken? | Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules are classified as food supplements. Food supplements should be taken as long as there is a need for the nutrients they contain. |
| Why do Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules contain excipients? | Selected excipients are required for the production of Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules. These excipients (e.g. natural vitamin E and natural rosemary extract) serve to protect the sensitive borage oil or are required for the production of the vegan capsule shell. The gelatin-free, vegan capsule shell consists of modified plant starch and carrageenan. Carrageenan is a natural substance found in red algae and is used as a thickening agent. Carrageenan is also approved for use in organic products. To keep the capsule soft and flexible, the capsule shell also contains glycerin and sorbitol as humectants. All substances used are officially approved in Switzerland and comply with the FDHA Ordinance on permitted additives in food. |
| How should Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules be stored? | Alpinamed Borage Oil Capsules should be stored out of reach of small children, in a dry place and protected from light, at room temperature in the original packaging. |
