Natural source of GLA

The small, round, juicy berries of the black currant plant are familiar ingredients in herbal teas and jams. However, the tiny seeds inside the berries are a rich source of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Oil produced from black currant seed contains 10-12% omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) and 15-17% omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). This omega-6 fatty acid can be used to maintain a healthy heart, flexible joints and can be a good addition to a healthy lifestyle for women.*
