Borage Oil (seed)- Borage also known as starflower is an herb that grows in Syria. The oil from the seeds is a good source of gamma-linolenic acid or GLA. It also contains palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, eicosenoic acid, erucic acid, and nervonic acid. This herb is often used for the regulation of metabolism and hormones. It is considered good for PMS and “hot flash” due to menopause. It is also used for bronchitis, head cold, and respiratory infections, this herb is also used for its general anti-inflammatory and balsamic properties.

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid, chemically it is a carboxylic acid with a 22-carbon chain and six cis double bonds. Its chemical formula is C22H32O2 and Mol. Mass is 328.488 g/mol. Fish oils are the primary source of DHA. Research is being done on its application in treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is also used as a supplement by pregnant women because studies indicate that low levels of erythrocyte DHA are associated with poor retinal development, low visual acuity, and poor cognitive development. DHA is becoming popular as a supplement for infants because it promotes healthy brain development and makes infants gain weight faster.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), also known as icosapentaenoic acid and EPA, is a omega 3 fatty acid, a carboxylic acid which acts as a precursor for prostaglandin 3, thromboxane 3 and leukotriene 5 groups of eicosanoids. It is mostly found in fish oil, but can also be contained in human breast milk. In recent times, sources from microalgae have been preferred, due to the large quantities of toxins contained in fish swimming in polluted waters. Human body can produce EPA out of alpha linoleic acid, but since that ALA is an essential fatty acid, only excess amounts would be converted. EPA has been subject to studies pertaining to the use in treatment of schizophrenia, but it may also lower suicidal tendencies. Further use as breast cancer progression inhibitor is under investigation.

Fish Oil used to be regular oil derived from oily fish, it looked and smelled the part and children simply hated it, although it was good for them. Containing omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, the two precursors to eicosanoids, in some higher quality cases also omega-6 fatty acids, fish oil is perhaps one of the most important supplements given to children during their development. In recent times, the contamination of fish in the sea through mercury and dioxin, among other pollutants, has prompted the FDA to carefully review the sourced of the preferred brand product. Nevertheless, the fish oil supplements have only gained popularity for all the health benefits that are provided. The health benefits are just too numerous to list, but from the heart to brain and nervous system, the whole body profits immensely.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid is an omega-6 fatty acid and is the result of first biochemical step of the body in transforming the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, into important prostaglandins, which are vital to proper functioning of cells, and essential fatty acids formed from Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) are needed for the structure of each cell. It is good for vasodilatation of blood vessels that can decrease high blood pressure. It also reduces abnormal blood clotting that can decrease heart attack and stroke risk. It provides increased regulation of immune response, and defense against abnormal cell proliferation. It helps control common skin disorder like eczema, and slow down certain aspects of normal aging.

Rosemary Extract is derived from a common household herb commonly used in cooking. It contains carnosol, carnosic acid, and caffeic acid which are potent antioxidants that prevents free radicals from damaging the tissues and the cells which may cause serious illness such as cancer and heart problems. It increases the concentration, focus and memory retention. It stimulates the brain and the nerves which help alleviate the mood from depression, mental fatigue and forgetfulness. It is easily absorbed by the intestine, and aids in preventing indigestion, flatulence, and stomach cramps. Rosemary extract is also an effective anti-inflammatory agent, that helps relieves the symptoms of arthritis.

Vitamin E consists of eight related vitamins that are all fat soluble and have antioxidant properties. The alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols with the corresponding tocotrienols all belong to the Vitamin E group, whereby the alpha-tocopherol has been found to be the most bioavailable form. Vitamin E is commonly found in food sources like eggs, milk, nuts, seeds, vegetable oil like olive oil, wholegrain foods, wheat germ, red palm oil, but also in asparagus and avocado fruits. While Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, several other properties have been noted as well, such as prevention of damage to neurons, cholesterol reduction and cancer prevention. Vitamin E has been also identified as a vital signaling molecule, whereby the primary necessity of Vitamin E to human survival is still not clear.
