Product Information

Keep in mind that the borage plant also contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which are compounds that can be toxic to the liver and may contribute to cancer growth ( 16). For instance, ALA from plant seeds can be converted in the body to all the other types of omega-3 fats: EPA, SDA, DHA, DPA. For decades, they have been the subject of scientific interest, but findings have been controversial and inconsistent. Poly [3-(3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) glyceric acid], Caffeic acid, Rosmarinic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Salvianolic acid Some species have been widely naturalized in Mediterranean climates, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of South America and the United States. [10] For example, Echium plantagineum has become a major invasive species in Australia.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects in the human body and may aid in lowering markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6.

Hyperactivity, nervousness, general weakness, eczema and dermatological ailments, analgesic, aphrodisiac, diaphoretic [ 41] DHA, EPA, and DPA omega-3 fatty acids are synthesized by marine organisms such as algae and phytoplankton. A giant viper’s bugloss requires enough space to accommodate its height and at least 3 ft (0.91 m) of room to spread its roots. Because it's so tall, it needs protection from the wind, so the best planting spot would be by a wall or fence. On the other hand, one study in 38 people showed that taking 5 mL of borage extract 3 times daily improved symptoms of asthma but didn’t decrease inflammation, compared with a control group ( 11). E. candicans grows well in fertile soils or in very poor ones. With better nutrition the flower spikes will simply grow taller. They like full sun and are very happy in thin soils in dry coastal locations.

However, omega-3 intake does not reduce the risk of adverse and severe heart disease-related outcomes, including sudden death and stroke. Additionally, it cannot prevent or treat diabetes or prevent blood clots. Various alcoholic extracts of the petals of Echium have demonstrated different antioxidant activity levels [ 15, 49, 50, 51, 52]. E. amoenum is one of the most studied species in the genus for antioxidant activity. Asghari et al. [ 52] reported that a decoction and hydroalcoholic extracts of E. amoenum showed more promising antioxidant activity than those extracted with methanol alone. This was evaluated by an OH radical assay, α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), and the ferric reducing power assays, which are all common assays for determining total antioxidative potential, measuring parameters, such as free radical scavenging outcomes. Furthermore, the hydroalcoholic extracts showed the highest radical scavenging effects (IC 50 110.8 μg/mL) in OH radical assays. The highest DPPH and ABST results were shown from the decoction extract with IC 50 values of 22.8 μg/mL and 17.1 μg/mL, respectively [ 52].
