Black Currant Seed Oil Capsules
The use of black currant seed oil has been well researched for its benefits. In addition to being a rich source of the popular gamma linolenic acid, it supplies a balanced amount of all the essential fatty acids (preserved with natural Vitamin E).
You might be familiar with omega-3 fatty acids‚ but you may not know about omega-6 fatty acids. The latter are only found in plant-based oils‚ such as borage oil. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is just one of these fatty acids that's found in plants like the black currant. While fatty acids are important to your overall health‚ your body can't produce them on its own. Therefore‚ it’s important to supplement with them.
In order to maintain your overall health‚ you need both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. However‚ while all omega-3s provide the same benefits‚ not all omega-6 fatty acids are created equal. For instance‚ though GLA may be able to lessen painful joint inflammation‚ other omega-6s can actually promote inflammation.
In addition to potentially reducing inflammation‚ GLA might also help relieve symptoms of nerve pain. You can get GLA by eating foods that contain evening primrose oil‚ black currant oil‚ and hemp oil. Unfortunately‚ these oils aren’t commonly found in foods. Therefore‚ you may want to take a convenient GLA supplement.
One serving of Black Currant Seed Oil by Nutri West contains 250 mg of black current seed oil‚ which can provide the necessary GLA for overall wellbeing. This formula is preserved with vitamin E‚ a powerful antioxidant‚ which may help your body fight illnesses and disease.
