Black Currant Oil - 14% GLA
Cat# | NPO-024 |
Description | Black currant oil is extracted from the seeds of the Ribes nigrum plant, carrying a bland odor and flavor profile and ranging in color from clear honey to dark brown. This raw material is known for its naturally occurring rich content of essential Omega-6 fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic C18:3n-6) and Omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic C18:3n-3). The GLA content of this ingredient typically falls in the 14% range, giving rise to its popularity in the nutraceutical and nutritional supplement industry. Black currant oil is often encapsulated and found on the shelves of your local nutrition and vitamin store or widely distributed online for its perceived benefits in cell structure and function. Additionally, black currant oil has made its mark in the cosmetic and personal-care industry in topical skin care products as a skin-protectant and for antioxidant properties. |
