## Overview

NOW Supplements Black Currant Oil delivers a potent 1000 mg dose per softgel, enriched with 140 mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid. Extracted via expeller-pressed, hexane-free methods, this premium supplement supports skin, joint, and immune health. Manufactured under strict GMP-certified processes by a trusted family-owned company since 1968, it offers a clean, effective way to boost your essential fatty acid intake.

## Description

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. NOW® Black Currant Oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free. This double strength softgel has twice the black currant oil (1,000 mg) as in our regular strength product (500 mg). Natural color variation may occur in this product.

## Features

- 140 mg GLA: Black currant oil is extracted from black currant seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA.
- EXPELLER-PRESSED, HEXANE-FREE: The omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids.
- 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.
- GMP Quality Assured: NPA A-rated GMP certification means that every aspect of the NOW manufacturing process has been examined, including our laboratory/testing methods (for stability, potency, and product formulation).
- Packaged in the USA by a family owned and operated company since 1968.
