• BLACK CURRANT OIL capsules contain 500 mg of black currant seed oil--the clear, unrefined oil extracted by cold pressing the highest-quality black currant seeds. It is contained in a hermetically-sealed soft gelatin capsule.
• Black currant seed oil is one of the three known and readily available sources of the important omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), typically containing 17 percent GLA. Unlike the other two commercially available sources of GLA (evening primrose oil (9 percent GLA) and borage oil (23 percent GLA)), black currant seed oil contains substantial amounts (13 percent) of the important omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid.
• Because both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential in human nutrition and omega-3 fatty acids are often lacking in the diet, black currant seed oil is the most economical and healthy choice as a GLA supplement.
