Black currant seed oil is recognized as an excellent source of both GLA as well as the essential linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. Therefore, regular supplementation with black currant seed oil can be beneficial for people consuming diets high in animal foods and low in natural vegetable oils.

Diets in the United States and other developed countries are often rich in animal products and deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated arachidonic acid (20:4 omega-6). At the same time, intakes of the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 omega-3), can be low in people who do not regularly consume vegetable oils in their diets.

Arachidonic acid is a precursor for the 2-series prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. Although gamma-linolenic acid (18:3 omega-6, GLA) is a precursor of arachidonic acid, higher levels of dietary GLA actually compete with arachidonic acid, and may help down-regulate the formation of excessive levels of 2-series prostaglandins and other immune mediators.

These liquid filled two piece capsules are not made from gelatin, making this product suitable for vegetarians.
