Black Currant oil a is preferred essential fatty acid supplement for some people as it is naturally rich in ALA (an essential Omega-3 fatty acid) as well as GLA (a conditionally essential Omega-6 fatty acid). These particular fatty acids are favoured by many female consumers and eliminate the need to take them in 2 separate supplements, such as flax oil and evening primrose oil (EPO). Black current oil also contains about 1.5 times more GLA than is found in a typical EPO supplement.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eBlack currant seed oil is obtained by pressing the seeds found in the fruit of black currant. NOW Black currant seed oil contains 14% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and approximately 10% alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. GLA may be beneficial \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003efor people who are unable to metabolize cis-linolenic acid to GLA, and produce adequate prostaglandin E1 (PGE-1). People with this condition have an imbalance in the ratio of inflammatory to non-inflammatory prostaglandins. GLA is thought to improve this ratio. GLA can be converted to compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties, including prostaglandins with vasoactive properties. GLA also reduces production of interleukin 1 (IL-1)-beta, which may be involved in various inflammatory diseases.\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Take 2 softgels 3 times daily with meals. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eIngredients (each softgel contains): \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eBlack Currant Oil (\u003ci\u003eRibes nigrum\u003c\/i\u003e) (Seed).……………..………………….500 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eProviding:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eGamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)…….….…….……….………..70 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eAlpha Linolenic Acid (ALA)…………………….……….…52.5 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e Softgel (gelatin, glycerin, water).\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33256221778,"sku":"3118","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/7649\/products\/s3118.jpg?v=1492532815","url":"https:\/\/parisnaturalhealthfoods.ca\/products\/now-black-currant-oil-100caps","provider":"Paris Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
