| I am a firm believer in Flax seed, Borage oil, and fish oil. I buy one suppliment that has all three in it. It works great especially for that overall soreness you get with arthritis. |

| I started taking Borage Oil one day and spent the next day in bed,throwing up with a horrible headache. One I read more about it this is not an unusual side effect. I have RA and am always looking for a natural alternative, but I need to be sure and read thoroughly before I jump into using the next supplement. |
He has gotten much better. I have two dogs, I cut the tablet and give the oil to the "joint" dog and the other one loves to chew on the capsule.
Reading this.. I since I have bad OA, guess I'd better be taking it too.
