Black Currant Oil Information and Usage

Nature's Sunshine Black Currant Oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid or GLA. In addition, it also contains stearidonic acid. These fatty acids are important to a variety of bodily functions including the regulation of proper body temperature, insulation of nerves and tissues and the creation of energy.

They are used to produce prostaglandins which are essential to maintaining normal arterial pressure and healthy cholesterol levels. Before the properties of black currant oil were discovered, the only sources of GLA were evening primrose oil and human breastmilk.

Black currant oil actually contains a higher level of GLA than evening primrose oil. Also, it has stearidonic acid which evening primrose does not. Herbalists may recommend a supplement like black currant for specific problems related to arthritis, alcoholism, inflammation, hypertension and obesity.

Black currant oil is also used as a preventative supplement and may help maintain overall health.
