GLA 90 Black Currant Oil (90 Soft Gel)

Black currant oil is a natural source of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids that help to maintain optimal health. The structure and function of skin, the largest organ in the body, is dependent on fatty acids.¹ LA accounts for approximately 12% of fatty acids in the skin.¹ It is essential to maintain the epidermal barrier integrity, which protects against environmental factors and the loss of electrolytes and water.¹ Decreased levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs) have been associated with impaired epithelial cell function, including the loss of moisture in the eyes and skin.^1,2 EFAs may prevent moisture loss in the eye by increasing the lipid layer of the tear film.³ Omega-6 supplementation may mediate the activity of collagen producing cells in the skin.^1,3 Supplementation with 2 g of blackcurrant seed oil for three months significantly improved the moisture content of forearm and cheek skin in 40 healthy adults.⁴
