    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Black Currant Oil

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • What is black currant oil good for?

      Black currant oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that may support healthy inflammatory responses in the body. It's often used to support skin health, hormonal balance, and joint comfort, and may also contribute to maintaining heart health.

    • What are the side effects of blackcurrant oil?

      Side effects of blackcurrant oil are generally mild but may include digestive discomfort, such as soft stools or diarrhea in some individuals. In rare cases, it may cause headaches or skin rashes. As with any supplement, it's important to use it as directed and be aware of any unusual reactions.

    • How do you use blackcurrant oil?

      Blackcurrant oil is typically taken orally in capsule form as a dietary supplement. It can also be applied topically to the skin, often diluted with a carrier oil, to potentially support skin health. The appropriate use and dosage can vary depending on individual needs and the specific product being used.

    • Can you use black currant oil on your face?

      Black currant oil can be used on the face and may benefit skin health due to its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). It may help in supporting skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. When using it topically, it's often recommended to dilute it with a carrier oil and perform a patch test first.

    • What are the side effects of black oil?

      The side effects of black oil (assuming you mean black seed oil) are generally mild but may include digestive discomfort, such as bloating or nausea in some individuals. In rare cases, it may cause allergic reactions. It's important to use any oil supplement as directed and be aware of any unusual reactions.

    • How long can you leave black seed oil on your face?

      Black seed oil can typically be left on the face overnight or for several hours during the day. However, individual skin sensitivity can vary, so it's recommended to start with shorter periods and gradually increase as tolerated. Always perform a patch test before applying to larger areas of the face.
