A Dietary Supplement
90 Vegetarian Capliques™

More Info:
Douglas Laboratories’ Black Currant Seed Oil softgels (500 mg) each provide 40 mg of nutritionally important gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and the essential fatty acids linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. Douglas Laboratories’ Black Currant Seed Oil softgels are manufactured using only 100% vegetable oil from the seeds of black currants. The oil is carefully handled to avoid any oxidation, as indicated by consistently low peroxide values.

Black Currant Seed Oil may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to increase their intake of gamma-linolenic acid and the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.

Diets in the United States and other developed countries are often rich in animal products and deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated arachidonic acid (20:4 omega-6). At the same time, intakes of the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 omega-3), can be low in people who do not regularly consume vegetable oils in their diets.

Arachidonic acid is a precursor for pro-inflammatory immune mediators, the 2-series prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. Although gammalinolenic acid (18:3 omega-6, GLA) is a precursor of arachidonic acid, higher levels of dietary GLA actually compete with arachidonic acid, and may help down-regulate the formation of excessive levels of pro-inflammatory 2-series prostaglandins and other immune mediators.

Black currant seed oil is recognized as an excellent source of both GLA as well as the essential linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. Therefore, regular supplementation with black currant seed oil can be beneficial for people consuming diets high in animal foods and low in natural vegetable oils.
