Black Currant Oil 500 mg – Inflammatory Balance, Skin & Moisturized Complexion, Joint Comfort, Cardiovascular Health and Immunity – Natural Sources of GLA & ALA

Black Currant Oil 500 mg, NOW Foods harnesses the potential of black currant seeds (Ribes nigrum) as a concentrated source of essential fatty acids with structural and functional role throughout the body. The formula delivers pure seed oil, naturally standardized to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) – omega-6 with impact on inflammatory balance – and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) – omega-3 with antioxidant and membrane role. GLA + ALA synergy supports skin health, joint comfort, lipid profile, immune resilience and general wellbeing, with a simple and predictable routine.

Why black currant oil? Unlike formulas that provide only omega-3 or only omega-6, black currant oil brings a naturally balanced matrix, with GLA (omega-6 rarely found in diet) and ALA (plant omega-3), accompanied by native antioxidants. GLA is precursor for eicosanoids with fine-tuning role in inflammatory response, and ALA supports membrane fluidity, cellular protection and lipid metabolism. NOW Foods offers clear labeling and batch-to-batch consistency for stable experience.

Detailed benefits of Black Currant Oil (14% GLA + ALA)

• Inflammatory balance and joint comfort

A "settled" inflammatory response is felt in mobility and movement quality:
✅ GLA contributes to synthesis of eicosanoids with fine regulation role;
✅ Supports joint comfort in daily routine;
✅ Favors perceived recovery after demands.
When joints "respond" more smoothly, the entire day flows more naturally.

• Skin & complexion – hydration, elasticity, skin barrier

Skin needs fatty acids for efficient barrier and uniform appearance:
✅ GLA supports hydration and elasticity, reducing "tight skin" sensation;
✅ ALA contributes to cell membrane integrity and luminous appearance;
✅ Oil's native antioxidant profile supports protection against environmental stressors.
Result: more supple, more comfortable skin, with visible tone.

• Hair and nail health

Essential fatty acids influence keratin and scalp quality:
✅ Support for "calm" scalp and groomed-looking hair;
✅ Contributes to maintaining nail flexibility;
✅ Easy to associate with existing cosmetic routines.
Beauty supported from within, with small and consistent steps.

• Immunity – resilience and coherent response

GLA and ALA support cell membranes of immune cells and response modulation:
✅ Favor balanced immune background;
✅ Contribute to better tolerance to environmental factors;
✅ Provide membrane "raw material" in demanding periods.
Efficient immunity begins with properly nourished cells.

• Cardiovascular health & lipid profile

Intelligent lipid balance is about quality, not just quantity:
✅ ALA (omega-3) supports normal lipid metabolism;
✅ GLA contributes to endothelial membrane flexibility;
✅ Synergy with balanced diet supports circulatory comfort.
A "fluid" vascular network is felt in energy and endurance.

• Comfort during variable hormonal periods

GLA is appreciated in routines for balancing periods with hormonal variability:
✅ Helps with gentler perception of monthly fluctuations;
✅ Supports general comfort and mood;
✅ Easy integration alongside magnesium, B-complex and adaptogenic plants.
Subtle balance brings clarity and functional calm.

• Eyes & mucous membranes – lubrication and comfort

Essential fatty acids influence secretion quality and tear film:
✅ Support for sensation of eye comfort and hydrated mucous membranes;
✅ Contributes to reducing perception of dryness;
✅ Compatible with prolonged "screen-time" habits.
Less discomfort, more focus.

• Metabolism and "settled" energy

Essential fatty acids enter mitochondrial structure and energy regulation:
✅ ALA supports "finishing" of energy pathways;
✅ GLA helps with smooth metabolic responses;
✅ Support for constant tone throughout the day.
When metabolism flows smoothly, productivity increases.

• Antioxidants – cellular protection in urban lifestyle

Black currant seed oil preserves native antioxidant compounds:
✅ Contributes to free radical neutralization;
✅ Supports lipid membrane integrity;
✅ Helps with redox "hygiene" in urban exposures (pollutants, stress).
Background protection, benefits visible over time.

• Intelligent nutritional synergies

For coherent results, black currant oil pairs with:
✅ Vitamin E (antioxidant recycling, lipid protection);
✅ Marine omega-3 (EPA/DHA) for extended profile;
✅ Collagen + vitamin C (skin, joints);
✅ Magnesium (neuromuscular relaxation) and zinc (skin, immunity).
Correct combination transforms routine into results.

• Clear parameters – 500 mg oil, 70 mg GLA, 52 mg ALA

Label transparency simplifies daily plan:
✅ Precise amounts for intake tracking;
✅ Easy to correlate with other healthy lipid sources;
✅ Allows adjustments according to season and goals.
Simple numbers mean simple consistency.
