BLACK CURRANT OIL - 100 SOFTGELS

The Many Benefits of Black Currant Oil

Black currant oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of black currants. This pure, unrefined oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and gamma-linolenic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Research suggests that black currant oil may offer a variety of health benefits, such as improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and relief from menstrual cramps.

Some of the potential health benefits associated with black currant oil include:

Heart health: The fatty acids in black currant oil may help to protect the heart by reducing cholesterol levels and keeping blood pressure in check. In addition, black currant oil may also prevent the formation of blood clots.

Reduced inflammation: Several studies have shown that black currant oil can help to reduce inflammation throughout the body. This effect is thought to be due to the high concentration of GLA in black currant oil. GLA has been shown to decrease the production of pro-inflammatory substances, such as prostaglandins.

Relief from menstrual cramps: For women who experience painful menstrual cramps, black currant oil may offer some relief. This natural remedy is thought to work by decreasing the production of prostaglandins, which are known to cause pain and inflammation. In one study, women who took a daily dose of black currant oil for one month reported significantly less pain during their periods than those who did not take the supplement.

If you are looking for a natural way to improve your heart health or reduce inflammation, black currant oil may be worth trying. This nutritional oil is also a popular home remedy for menstrual cramps. Black currant oil is generally well tolerated.

Suggested Usage: Take 1 softgel 2 times daily with food.
