About this item
- 140 mg GLA: Black currant oil is extracted from black currant seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA.
- Product Note: Exposure to heat or sunlight may lead to melting/damage of product. Hence customers are expected to be available during the product delivery

WARNING:
Product Description
Black currant oil is extracted from black currant seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA. The omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids. Although the body can manufacture GLA from other dietary omega-6 fatty acids, GLA can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when supplied directly through dietary sources. NOW Black Currant Oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free. This double strength softgel has twice the black currant oil (1,000 mg) as in our regular strength product (500 mg). Natural color variation may occur in this product.

This is the first thing I tried and it worked.
First thing I noticed was my scalp (which was apparently burning unbeknownst to me) stopped burning when I would take it. For the first week or so this served as a great reminder for my second dose as my scalp would slowly begin burning again after about 6-8 hrs. The scalp eventually stopped burning completely.
Second thing noticed, my shedding slowed way down. I went from gathering a cantaloupe sized ball of hair (even twice a day, depending on how many showers) down to a fist sized amount in a matter of days (within wk 1). It maintained that amount for maybe another week (wk 2) before it reduced completely to a few strands per shower during the third week. This is the current amount I shed (first bottle complete).
And finally, regrowth. This began noticeably around the third week. Photo shows week 3 of regrowth to the end of the first bottle (almost 3 months). Also I noticed that my baby’s hair was also getting thicker around this time.
Update: after I finished the first bottle, I took a break for a couple months. Hair growth during the break wasn’t extraordinary like it was while taking black currant, but the improvements to shedding has maintained and my hair growth/shedding seem to have stabilized to pre-baby levels.

Still, you should go look for a non-hexane extracted one
ということでテレビで体臭改善効果が期待できると言ってたのでカシスの名のついた商品名が売り切れの時にこちらを選んでみました。
2回リピートして飲んでたけど体臭改善効果はよくわからず。
でも白髪は減った感覚がかなりあります。白髪についてはテレビでは特に効果があるとは言ってなかったけど個人輸入のショッピングサイトのレビューで海外のユーザーが白髪に効果があった!と絶賛してたのでたぶん期待できるかと思います。ストレスのない生活をしてたのもあるけどあったはずの白髪が確実に減ってました。これだけでも飲む価値ありと感じてます。
目にいいイメージもあるけどそれもいまいちわからなかった。
ドライアイが乾きにくくはなったかな?でも目を酷使して老眼ぽくなってきた感じがするのでピント調整には効果無しな感じがしました。
iHERBやオオサカ堂…など海外個人輸入ショッピングサイトでサプリを買ったことがある人なら発送の遅さは許容範囲かなと思います。ナウフーズの商品はiHERBでたまに購入してたので届くまでの体感はいつも通りでそういうものかと思っているので特にストレスはなかったです。
到着までだいたい2週間前後かかる(コロナ遅延やロングタイム休暇、ブラックフライデーを挟むとか年末年始とか状況によってはもっとかかる時もあるかも。年中無理してでもお客様に合わせすぎてる日本の都合で考えない方がいい)ので待てる人向け。
急ぎで到着するAmazonのシステムに魅力を感じて国内即日発送に慣れている人はprime表示のある商品を選ぶのが賢明かと思います。
ナウフーズのものは日本のサプリより圧倒的に含有量が多いし添加物で総重量を誤魔化さない感じがして好きなので到着まで1ヶ月を見込んで買ってます。
リピートしてたのがなくなったので今回は一旦ブルベリアイで有名な某社のカシスを買ってみました。そっちと比べてやっぱりナウフーズの方がよかったなーと感じたらまた買いにきます。
ちなみに購入代金
1回目2300、2回目2400、いまは2700円台でちょっと値上がりが過ぎますね。
戦争などの影響で輸送費高騰と円安の影響もあるとは思いますが半年くらいで変動幅がすごいです。
テレビの影響もあるのかな。
あまり値上がりがひどいならいまは日本の企業のを選んでまた安い時に買えたらなと思います。
車の運転などが助かります。又続けようと思います。
