NOW Foods Black Currant Oil Double Strength 1000mg 100 Softgels

NOW® Black Currant Oil Double Strength doubles the potency, delivering 1,000 mg of expeller-pressed black currant seed oil with 140 mg of the omega-6 GLA (plus omega-3 ALA) per softgel. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 essential fatty acid. Although the body can make some GLA from dietary fats, it can be used more efficiently when supplied directly, and by supporting the body's healthy immune responses GLA may help maintain normal skin-barrier function and a healthy vascular system.* Black currant oil is one of the richest natural sources of GLA, and this double-strength softgel lets you reach a higher GLA intake with fewer capsules — a convenient plant-based option for skin and immune support.*
