Black Current Oil
Black current oil is a tremendous source of essential fatty acids. Adding this natural supplement to your daily routine is an excellent way to maintain great health. By keeping your body free of irritants and fats that are not very healthy for you to consume.
This oil contains essential fatty acids, which 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.
It is also said to be an excellent acne treatment, but I also read that too much of it could cause Arthritis flare-ups.
"Black Currant Oil
Ribes nigrum;
Origin:
Black currant seed oil is obtained from seeds of the black currant. Black currant seed oil contains 15 to 20 percent gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Do not confuse with black currant berry.
Dosage:
Liquid and capsules; typical dosage ranges from 360 mg to 3,000 mg daily.
Black currant oil may increase immune response in elderly."~Arthritis Foundation.As mentioned in the article, don't confuse it with the the berry. It is oil from the seeds that is used for the remedy. And I will say it again and keep saying it, untill I am blue in the face from repeating it (or maybe it is from the black current berries, because I love them!): consult your health care provider.
