Introducing Nature's Sunshine Black Currant Oil !
Black Currant Oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) along with other important polyunsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
Fatty acids are involved in many bodily functions, such as maintaining body temperature, insulating nerves, cushioning and protecting tissues and creating energy.
These essential fatty acids are precursors of prostaglandins, which must be present for functions involved with blood vessels, maintaining arterial pressure already within the normal range, metabolizing dietary cholesterol, activating T-lymphocytes, protecting against platelet aggregation and other functions.
Black currant seed oil is one of the three known and readily available sources of the important omega-6 fatty acid in addition gamma-linolenic acid.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School reported that GLA helps support healthy cytokine activity, a mechanism that may help to support joint comfort.
Furthermore, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial reported statistically significant support of joint health in subjects supplementing with GLA.
Black currant seed oil has also been shown to potentially support premenstrual comfort.
Traditional herbalists believe that black currant has diuretic (increases
urine flow), diaphoretic (promotes sweating), and antipyretic (fever
reducer) properties.
