More Information on Black Currant Seed Oil

The grandmother of the Omega-6 Fat family is linoleic acid, which is converted by the body into gama-linoleic acid (GLA). Evening Primrode Oil, Black Currrant Seed Oil and Borage Oil are the richest known sources of GLA. GLA is the precursor for two fats.GLA is converted into arachidonic acid. This type of fat is used to build the brain, along with the Omega-3 fat DHA. GLA is also converted into DGLA (dihom-gamma-linolenic acid) and from there into prostaglandins, which are extremely active hormone like substances. The particular kinds made from these Omega-6 Oils are called series 1 prostaglandins. They keep the blood thin, which prevents clots and blockages, relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, helps maintain the water balance in the body, decreases inflammation and pain, improves nerve and immune function and helps insulin work, which is good for the blood sugar balance.**
