Black Currant oil is extracted from European-grown Black Currant seeds which produce a valuable nutritional oil containing 18% GLA. Each capsule contains twice the GLA content of Evening Primrose Oil. This means that 3 capsules a day provide the GLA equivalent of 6 regular Evening Primrose capsules at a more economical price.

This program is based upon third party inspections of member suppliers and comprehensive audits of their GMP programs in the areas of Personnel, Plant and Grounds, Sanitation, Equipment, Quality Operations, Production and Process Controls, Warehouse, Distribution, and Post-Distribution Practices. This program ensures that all elements of the manufacturing process are reviewed to provide reasonable assurance that processes are sufficiently controlled so that products meet their purported quality.
I have had Atopic Dermatitis for a number of years. The symtoms are inflamed spots on the face, or limbs, with flaking dry skin. In my case, probably typical, seborrhea is common. Stress and bright sun
seem to exacerbate the condition. The standard treatment is topical steroid ointment or drops, a fairly effective approach. But this never seemed to eliminate the condition in my case.
I have read in the medical literature about EFA's and their role as anti-
inflammatories. So I tried the Black Currant Oil. It has been totally effective in eliminating the dermatitis.
Just to make sure it was not a placebo effect, I stopped for a couple of weeks. The dermatitis quickly returned. So I am back on the capsules again.

scientific literature that Omega-6 helps with memory
retention in older animals (rats). This may be a good
supplement for older people with early stage
cognitive or memory loss.
