NOW Foods Black Currant Oil, 1000mg – 100 softgels

Extracted from the seeds of black currant (Ribes nigrum), this cold-pressed oil is presented in an easy-to-swallow softgel format. Each 1,000 mg softgel delivers 140 mg of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid, alongside 104 mg of Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), an Omega-3 fatty acid — both of which are considered essential fatty acids obtained through diet.

GLA is naturally present in only a small number of plant-derived oils, making black currant seed oil one of the more concentrated dietary sources available. The softgel format keeps the oil fresh and avoids the taste associated with liquid oils, making it straightforward to take alongside meals.

This 100-softgel pack is well suited to those looking to include a wider range of essential fatty acids in their diet, including people following plant-based or varied eating patterns who prefer their fatty acid intake in a simple, encapsulated form.
