NOW Foods – Black Currant Oil
Black Currant Oil is extracted from Black Currant Seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA. The Omega-3, Alpha Linolenic Acid and the Omega-6, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids. Although the body can manufacture GLA from other dietary Omega-6 fatty acids, GLA can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when supplied directly through dietary sources.

feel better after taking this for a few days, I don’t have any inflammation or heartburn at night so I can sleep well. The taste is good, like omega fish oil. Black Current is a very natural ingredient and I can have it without any pollution concerns.

I noticed that my excretion was slowing down. I went from collecting a cantaloupe-sized ball of hair (even twice a day, depending on how many showers) to a fist-sized amount in a few days during the week. 1. He maintained this amount for maybe another week before completely reducing to a few strands per shower for the third week. This is the current amount I paid. I also noticed some regrowth. It started noticeably around the third week. I also noticed that my baby’s hair was also getting thicker around this time.

Black currant oil is rich in antioxidants like vitamin C. It can boost your immune system and help fight infections and viruses more effectively. Black currents are rich in omega 6 fatty acids called gamma linoleic acid. Black currents can improve skin health and promote hair growth and eye health.

I have been using this product for over three years now, as has my husband. It helps tremendously with digestive issues and keeps my skin and nails very healthy. I have a sensitive stomach and this product does not cause any problems.

Large yet easy to swallow (and pleasant black currant taste if accidentally bitten on) I am hoping they do a good job, at least I have not noticed any negative effects and have not been sick with anything, then again, I have not been sick before starting these either. Here is to staying well.

When ingested, black currant oil helps reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, improves liver function, alleviates painful manifestations of premenstrual syndrome, improves immunity. Acting at the cellular level, this oil protects the body from cancer, arthritis and premature aging. It also helps with viral diseases, hormonal disorders, inflammatory processes in organs and tissues. Blackcurrant is very good for the joints – no more pain after a month of use. It helped with back pain (acute process). And, in the end, it is useful for women – it has a similar effect to evening primrose oil. Tasteless, odorless, easy to swallow yellow capsules (like lecithin and omega from the same company).

My natural health doctor identified black currant oil as one of the ingredients for a remedy for hair health. My wife takes the supplement daily and her hair has improved significantly. She is 68 years old. Black currant oil is a nutritional oil with essential fatty acids (EFAs) and phytosterols. NOW Foods Double Strength Blackcurrant Oil is derived only from the highest quality non-GMO blackcurrant seeds. GMP certified. Good value for money, excellent product. Highly recommend.

took it for about a month. No side effects and no bad taste. I take it with other supplements to try and combat the hair loss I’ve had due to inflammation. Too early to know if it works for that. But I like to take it so I will continue.

I am testing this with my first bottle. It is easy to take with no aftertaste or repeating on me. Seems to be a wonderful product.
