## Description

Black currant oil is extracted from black currant seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA. The omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids. Although the body can manufacture GLA from other dietary omega-6 fatty acids, GLA can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when supplied directly through dietary sources. NOW® Black Currant Oil is expeller-pressed and hexane-free. This double strength softgel has twice the black currant oil (1,000 mg) as in our regular strength product (500 mg). Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: My hair was falling out! - After reporting to me doctor how bad my hair was falling out and being totally ignored I started taking this. It is a big gel oil but it easy to swallow and do worth it!!! My hair stopped falling out and a few months later I have so much hair growing back in that I have to lay down or it will stick up yay. That's a great problem to have! Another thing is way way less gray eyebrows to pluck out! And my brows are looking good again. I'm 61 and trying to look my best. You'll learn that when you get older your body hair changes. My brows had begun to stick up like you see so many old men doing and the gray ones would stick strait out! But now it's like I've turned back time ten years where they're concerned. My nails haven't improved a great deal, but the change in my hair is enough to give it give stars 🤩
Review: A Game-Changer for My Skin and Hair! - 100% Recommend! This has quickly become one of my favorite supplements! It’s helped me effectively calm my eczema flare-ups, which was my main reason for trying it. As a bonus, I’ve also noticed my hair feeling stronger and healthier overall. Couldn’t be happier with the results!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My hair was falling out!
*by C***. on June 1, 2023*

After reporting to me doctor how bad my hair was falling out and being totally ignored I started taking this. It is a big gel oil but it easy to swallow and do worth it!!! My hair stopped falling out and a few months later I have so much hair growing back in that I have to lay down or it will stick up yay. That's a great problem to have! Another thing is way way less gray eyebrows to pluck out! And my brows are looking good again. I'm 61 and trying to look my best. You'll learn that when you get older your body hair changes. My brows had begun to stick up like you see so many old men doing and the gray ones would stick strait out! But now it's like I've turned back time ten years where they're concerned. My nails haven't improved a great deal, but the change in my hair is enough to give it give stars 🤩

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Game-Changer for My Skin and Hair!
*by M***K on November 10, 2025*

100% Recommend! This has quickly become one of my favorite supplements! It’s helped me effectively calm my eczema flare-ups, which was my main reason for trying it. As a bonus, I’ve also noticed my hair feeling stronger and healthier overall. Couldn’t be happier with the results!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product!! Thickness of hair, PMS, and TOM
*by C***Y on March 20, 2014*

Listen up to know more! I use this supplement for thickening my hair, reduce pms symptoms and help with my period. It does all three so well! I couldn't lie if I wanted to do, this is the miracle vitamin for women. It's lightening my cramps, pain, and flow. Also keeps my hunger from the monthly monster at a low! What I do to maintain this is: I eat right, and treat myself to the unhealthy food occasionally! Exercise every day even if its 30 mins a day. (blood circulates at the scalp when you get it going!) Vitamins! I take Black currant oil, Country hair maxi life, iron, biotin, and vitamin E to achieve a staple for working on the inside of my body for hair growth. My hair has grown almost 5inches total in 6months. It's thickened as well. I'd say from putting my hair up from 7 months ago to now the band width has thickened by half an inch to a whole inch! Doesn't sound like much to some, but I have worked so hard to achieve this result and cant wait to have my hair at my desired length! Don't give up, just takes some patience!
