NOW Foods Black Currant Oil, 500mg
For those who want a lower strength, NOW Foods Black Currant Oil 500mg offers oil from black currant seeds in a 500mg softgel. The oil is a plant source of both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Key features
- 500mg black currant seed oil
- 14% GLA, the omega-6 gamma-linolenic acid
- Contains alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3
- GLA and alpha-linolenic acid are both essential fatty acids
GLA can be made in the body from other omega-6 fats eaten in the diet, though some people like to get it straight from a food source. Black currant seed oil offers this alongside an omega-3, and the 500mg size makes it easy to adjust how much you take.
Available as a 100 softgel pack.
