Microencapsulated Borage Oil Powder

Microencapsulated Borage Oil Powder – Premium GLA Source for Functional Nutrition

Easy Health Inc. Microencapsulated Borage Oil Powder Specifications Industry Leading: 50% oil loading ≥22% GLA concentration in source oil ~11% gamma-linolenic acid per gramme of powder We employ innovative spray-drying technology utilising ultra-low inlet temperatures (≤140°C) to ensure active ingredient degradation of <3%. This free-flowing powder overcomes the stability issues of liquid borage oil with surface oil < 1.0%, peroxide value of ≤2.5 mmol/kg and 95% passing through 40 mesh, and offers excellent water dispersibility for a variety of applications.

What Makes Our Microencapsulated Borage Oil Powder Superior?

The product uses protective encapsulation to convert unstable liquid borage seed oil into a stable, easy-to-handle powder. This procedure forms a micro-barrier to protect the oil from oxygen, light and heat, the main causes of rancidity in raw borage oil.

We only use high latitude cool region raw material from Tasmania, Australia and Alberta, Canada. These types of origins tend to have higher levels of GLA than the warm climate types.

The microencapsulation matrix effectively masked the inherently mild flavour profile of borage oil. Our powder is virtually flavourless (evening primrose oil has a grassy-bitter taste), making it a great fit for clean-label products.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Borage Oil Over Evening Primrose?

Borage oil has the greatest percentage of GLA of any vegetable oil, naturally containing between 20% and 24% GLA. Our stabilised formulation has ≥22% GLA, so you’re getting double the active ingredient as evening primrose oil at the same dose.

More potency means less serving size and more cost-effective formulations for your end products. Borage oil is around 40% more expensive than evening primrose, but with double the amount of GLA it is a good choice for high-efficacy supplements for severe PMS, severe menopausal symptoms, and inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis.

Microencapsulated Borage Oil Powder for enhanced bioavailability and maximum absorption. The powder dissolves immediately in cold water without phase separation and maintains nutritional integrity during processing and storage.

Applications Across Health Industries

Our powder can be easily included into a wide variety of product categories:

Dietary Supplements: Tablets, hard capsules and softgels benefit from the micro-matrix cushioning effect that reduces oil loss during high pressure compression.

Functional Beverages: Cold water dispersibility allows for stable incorporation into meal replacement shakes, sports nutrition beverages and instant powdered beverages without surface oil separation.

Skin Health Products: GLA's capacity to increase skin barrier function and boost moisture retention is applied in topical and ingestible formulations.

Clinical Nutrition: Our powder is used in infant formulae and therapeutic diets to provide stability of important fatty acids in combination with vitamin and mineral premixes.

Fortified Foods: Omega-6 fatty acids are added to snack bars, baked products and dairy replacements without affecting texture or shelf life.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between evening primrose oil and borage oil?

A: For specific therapeutic uses, Borage oil is more powerful with double the GLA (22% versus 10%). It is about 40% more expensive yet the increased concentration gives better efficacy for high performance items.

Q: Is the 22% GLA for the oil or the powder?

A: The 22% is the GLA content in the source borage oil. At our 50% oil loading, the finished product is about 11% GLA by weight.

Q: Which population groups benefit most from this product?

A: This powder is perfect for those with severe PMS symptoms, extreme menopausal hot flashes and inflammatory skin problems like atopic dermatitis and eczema. We don’t advocate it in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Q: Do you provide tiny retail packaging?

A: Yes, we do flexible packaging such as 1kg, 5kg and 10kg foil bags or cartons which is great for smaller and medium sized firms testing formulations or serving niche markets.

Q: Where do you purchase your borage seeds?

A: We get everything from Tasmania, Australia, and Alberta, Canada. Seeds from these cool high latitudes naturally have higher GLA levels than do those from warm climates.
