I am bipolar and I take fish oils and borage oil to complement my medication. I think there may be differences in brands of borage oils out there. I first tried Solgar's mega-gla 300mg, and it did help me with energy when used with the fish oils. It has a strong affect, at least in the beginning. Then I tried Source Naturals brand of mega-gla 300 borage oil. This product seems to be more smoother acting and more predictable, and I like it a whole lot more. The odd thing is that the Solgar brand and Source Naturals basically have the same ingredients, but I swear the Source Naturals brand is more "smoother" in its action. And Source Naturals is about half the price of the Solgar brand. So if any of you out there are thinking about trying borage oil/fish oil combination to help with depression, I would recommend the Source Naturals brand borage oil. I get it from a website called house of nutrition. They are good about getting your order to you relatively quickly, 2-3 days. Hope this info. is helpful.
