This GMP-certified, double-strength formula supports skin vitality, hair strength, and menstrual comfort, making it a must-have for proactive wellness enthusiasts. ## 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: 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! Review: Helps with severe menstrual cramps - I had severe menstrual cramps, to the point of being concerned about how I could live a normal life. Then, I after reading about how GLA could reduce menstrual cramps, I started this black currant oil about 2 weeks before my period and noticed that my severe cramps were under control with ibuprofen. I hope that it was not a fluke! 3 months later update: My severe menstrual cramps are GONE. It could be a combination of many factors: plant-based diet, high dietary fiber intake, exercise. But, I had implemented the dietary changes for about 6 months prior to starting the black currant oil. After I started the black currant oil, my severe cramps were gone. It didn't reduce the large amount of blood flow or the tiredness but (thank goodness!) the cramps were gone. I am beyond happy with this product and so very thankful that it is around! About a year later update: I thought I could try resveratrol in place of this thinking that it could do the same thing as well as other added health benefits but I was wrong! I truly think black currant oil has worked the best in reducing my severe menstrual cramps. I will never forgo my black currant oil again! ## Features - 140 mg GLA: Black currant oil is extracted from black currant seeds to produce a valuable nutritional oil with 14% GLA. - EXPELLER-PRESSED, HEXANE-FREE: The omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are both considered essential fatty acids. - 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. - GMP Quality Assured: NPA A-rated GMP certification means that every aspect of the NOW manufacturing process has been examined, including our laboratory/testing methods (for stability, potency, and product formulation). - Packaged in the USA by a family owned and operated company since 1968. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A8PJC4C | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Dairy Free, Egg Free, Non-GMO, Soy Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,465 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #2 in Black Currant Oil Nutritional Supplements #2,133 in Sales & Deals #2,793 in Diet & Sports Nutrition | | Brand | NOW | | Brand Name | NOW | | Color | Amber | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,636 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Dosage Form | Softgel | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Item Dimensions | 2.7 x 2.7 x 4.75 inches | | Item Form | Softgel | | Item Weight | 6.72 ounces | | Manufacturer | NOW Sports - Nutrition and Wellness | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1717 | | Material Features | Natural | | Model Name | Black Currant Oil 1000 mg Double Strength with 140mg of GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) | | Model Number | 1717 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | Black Currant Oil | | Recommended Uses For Product | Omega Fatty Acids | | Special Ingredients | Black Currant Oil | | Total Servings Per Container | 100 | | UPC | 733739017178 | | Unit Count | 100 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** NOW Foods - **Diet Type:** Kosher - **Flavor:** Unflavored - **Item Form:** Softgel - **Item Weight:** 6.72 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.7 x 2.7 x 4.75 inches - **Primary Supplement Type:** Black Currant Oil - **Special Ingredients:** Black Currant Oil - **Unit Count:** 100 Count ## Images ![NOW Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1,000 mg with 140mg GLA, 100 Softgels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iBQ3Wko2L.jpg) ![NOW Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1,000 mg with 140mg GLA, 100 Softgels - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71i15xSFaDL.jpg) ![NOW Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1,000 mg with 140mg GLA, 100 Softgels - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613+eXokXWL.jpg) ![NOW Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1,000 mg with 140mg GLA, 100 Softgels - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81j8gGHfXCL.jpg) ![NOW Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1,000 mg with 140mg GLA, 100 Softgels - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fQHGpAPOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this double strength currant oil smell fishy?

It's helped my eyes, my Crohns, and my joints! This product is a godsend! It's easy to swallow. It's about the size of a fish oil pill so a little big (they look exactly the same), there's no taste or burps though, it's very effective! ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Supplements, Black Currant Oil 1000 mg Double Strength with 140mg of GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid), 100 Softgels - NOW Foods Supplements, Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg with Essential Fatty Acids and Phytosterols, Cold Pressed, 200 Softgels - NOW Foods Supplements, Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU, High Potency, Structural Support*, 240 Softgels --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7110439-now-supplements-black-currant-oil-1-000-mg-with-140mg](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7110439-now-supplements-black-currant-oil-1-000-mg-with-140mg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
