Black currant seed oil contains gamma
linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that has multiple physiological
roles. Studies have shown that GLA promotes healthy prostaglandin E1
(PGE1) production. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts
Medical School, reported that GLA helps support healthy cytokine
activity, a mechanism that may help to support joint comfort.
Furthermore, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
reported statistically significant support of joint health in subjects
supplementing with GLA. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo
controlled trial performed at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition
Research Center on Aging reported that black currant seed oil
supplementation provided immune support in elderly subjects. Black
currant seed oil has also been shown to potentially support
premenstrual comfort.
