Product Description
Pure Encapsulations Black Currant Seed Oil offers support for joints, immune system, and the female reproductive system. They may support comfortable and healthy joints, promote immunity, and relieve some painful PMS symptoms. Many of the benefits of black currant oil are derived from gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Gamma linolenic acid may support joint health by relieving pain or stiffness through its potential to promote healthy levels of cytokine activity. Since cytokines can support cellular functioning and growth, this supplement may work to improve your range of motion, making it easier for you to stay active. In addition, black currant seed oil may help strengthen your immune system by supporting the functioning of prostaglandin (PGE2) and T-lymphocytes, which participate in regulating immune response. The effectiveness of these compounds is thought to decline with age, so a supplement may help. A lot of women suffer from cramps, headaches, and other annoying symptoms during that time of the month. Fortunately, black currant seed oil may help your body maintain a healthy estrogen balance.
