Black Currant Seed Oil

Black currant seed oil contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that has multiple physiological roles.

Specifically, studies have shown that GLA promotes healthy prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) production.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial reported statistically significant support of joint health in subjects supplementing with GLA. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial reported that black currant seed oil supplementation provided immune support in elderly subjects.

Black currant seed oil has also been shown to potentially support premenstrual comfort.
