Frequently asked questions
What is GLA and why is it important?
GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an omega-6 essential fatty acid. While your body can produce GLA from other dietary omega-6 fatty acids, obtaining it directly from food sources like black currant oil allows your body to utilize it more efficiently for various body functions.
How is this black currant oil extracted?
The oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free, meaning it is mechanically extracted without chemical solvents. This method preserves the nutritional quality of the oil.
