Health from the Sun Black Currant Oil 1000mg 60 Caps
Health from the Sun Black Currant Oil is a rich source of gamma linolenic acid, along with other important fatty acids which are involved in many body functions, such as maintaining body temperature, insulating nerves, cushioning and protecting tissues and creating energy. These essential fatty acids must be present for functions involved with dilating blood vessels, regulating arterial pressure, metabolizing cholesterol, protecting against platelet aggregation, controlling abnormal cell proliferation, and other functions. Prior to the discovery of black currant oil, the other identified sources of GLA were mother's milk and evening primrose oil.
These vital fatty acids are forerunner of prostaglandins, which should be here for purpose concerned with :
- Dilating blood vessels
- Metabolizing cholesterol
- Modifying arterial pressure
- Make active T-lymphocytes
- Defending against platelet agregation
- Managing abnormal cell proliferation
- Many additional functions.
FAQ
Why is GLA so important?
GLA is important because it is the source of prostaglandins, the biological regulators that:
- Regulate the menstrual cycle - including PMS in women.
- Regulate skin problems such as dry, flaky patches.
- Assist in regulating the body's immune system.
- Control every cell and organ in your body on a minute-by-minute basis.
Why essential fatty acids are important?
Energy production- Athletes could exercise longer before reaching exhaustion, recovered more quickly from fatigue, could exercise more often without over-training, healed quicker from injuries, built muscle faster, and had less joint pain.
Brain Function- We have seen consistent improvements in brain function, and research with EFAs from other sources has also shown brain benefits. Among these are elevated mood, lifted depression, increased calmness, better handling of stress, less hyperactivity, better focus, better mental processing, faster learning, increased intelligence, better concentration, and improved motor coordination.
EFAs are required for healthy skin and hair, and are required for normal nail growth. They moisturize skin and prevent dryness.

What are the fatty acids?
|
|
|
Chemically, a fatty acid is an organic compound with an acid group at one end of its molecule and a methyl group at the other end. Fatty acids are typically categorized in the omega groups 3, 6 and 9 according to the location of their first double bond. There’s also an omega-7 group, but these are compartively less important to human health.
|
|
|
|
|
What are the essential fatty acids (EFA)?
|
|
|
The term essential fatty acid (EFA) refers to a fatty acid that the body cannot manufacture and must, therefore, obtain from dietary sources. These EFAs were originally designated as Vitamin F, until it was realized they should be classified with the fats.
There are two fatty acids designated as EFAs: Linoleic acid (LA) (omega-6) and Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) (omega-3). This does not mean the other 15 or so fatty acids found in the omega 3, 6 and 9 groups aren’t important, just that a healthy body can manufacture them as long as it gets enough LA and ALA. Nevertheless, research demonstrates there are health benefits to be had by obtaining some of the other nonessential fatty acids directly.

|
What roles do Essential fatty acids (EFAs) play in our body?
|
|
|
EFAs Plays an important role in our body. The body uses EFAs for the formation of healthy cell membranes, the proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the production of hormone-like substances called eicosanoids (i.e., thromboxanes, leukotrienes, prostaglandins). These chemicals regulate numerous body functions including blood pressure, blood viscosity, vasoconstriction, immune and inflammatory responses. Here are some main functions of EFAs:
- Energy Production
- Diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream
- Brain and nerve tissue development
- Control cell membrane fluids
- Strengthen immune system
- Reduce water retention, by assisting in sodium and water removal
- Calming effect and regulates mood
No doubt, essential fatty acids are of extreme importance. There is more to them though.

What are the benefits essential fatty acids?
|
|
|
EFAs are Critical in maintaining maximum testosterone levels. EFAs also produce good prostaglandins, which can improve the actions of insulin, decrease muscle breakdown, increase growth hormone secretion and optimize growth hormone production. Additionally, essential fatty acids promote healthy cholesterol levels, stimulate tissue repair, combat cortisol and increase the use of fat for energy.

|
|
|
What are the natural sources of essential fatty acids?
|
|
|
The primary sources of essential fatty acids are plants on land and in the sea. Linoleic acid (LA) (omega-6) is found primarily in seeds, nuts, grains and legumes. Alpha linolenic acid (LNA) (omega-3) is found in the green leaves of plants, including phytoplankton and algae, and in selected seeds, nuts and legumes (flax, canola, walnuts and soy). Arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid are obtained directly from animal foods – AA from meat and poultry and DHA and EPA from fish.
Omega 3 (Alpha linolenic acid) (LNA) :
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Trout
- Walnuts
- Flax Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Flax Seed Oil
- Hemp Seed Oil
- Soy Bean Oil
Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) (LA):
- Corn Oil
- Soy Bean Oil
- Sunflower Oil
- Safflower Oil
- Walnuts
- Pumpkin Seeds
You can sprinkle flax seeds in your cereal or salads, eat fish, or grab a handful of walnuts to get your EFAs
