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
  • EXPELLER-PRESSED, HEXANE-FREE: The omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids.

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.

Stopped post partum hair loss

Stopped post partum hair loss
My hair had not shed while I was pregnant and decided to all fall out when my baby turned 3 months. Every day, every shower, copious amounts of hair just leaving in shocking amounts.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.
