Black Currant Oil is extracted from current seeds. It is an alternative to fish oil for those who are allergic to fish or simply prefer a plant-source oil. While it does not contain DHA, it is one of the only plants that contains a precursor oil to DHA called stearidonic acid as well as the basic omega 3 oil called alpha-linolenic acid.

Because it is high in GLA it helps the important enzyme, delta-6 desaturase (D6D) make DHA from the more basic omega 3 oils.* Black Currant Oil make is an excellent way to obtain omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids from a vegetarian source.*

Our experience for two decades with Black Currant Oil has shown it to be useful support for mild menstrual cramps, using 2-4 capsules per day all month.*

Research has shown the ability of Black Currant Oil to support joint health and help reduce the breakdown of joint tissues.* 2-6 capsules per day may be taken for joint support.*
