What is Black Currant Oil with GLA?
Fortifeye® Black Currant Oil is a premium nutritional supplement designed to deliver one of the most overlooked nutrients in the modern diet: gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Extracted from the seeds of the black currant berry (Ribes nigrum), this unique oil provides a concentrated source of GLA along with other essential fatty acids that play a vital role in eye health, skin hydration, joint comfort, and immune balance.
Unlike many supplements that only offer a minimal amount of GLA, each Fortifeye capsule delivers 140 mg of GLA—double the strength of most competing formulas. This clinical dosage helps ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.
Why GLA is the Missing Ingredient in the American Diet
The standard American diet (SAD) is high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids and low in anti-inflammatory nutrients. GLA is a rare, beneficial omega-6 that actually works with omega-3s (like EPA and DHA) to reduce inflammation. Once inside the body, GLA is converted into prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that supports circulation, nerve function, and cellular health.
Because very few foods naturally contain meaningful amounts of GLA, supplementation with Fortifeye Black Currant Oil helps restore balance and fight the inflammatory cascade linked to:
- Dry eye disease
- Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rough or dry skin)
- Joint stiffness and discomfort
- Hormonal imbalances
- Generalized inflammatory stress
Eye Health Benefits of Black Currant Oil with GLA
Research has shown that GLA can significantly improve symptoms of dry eye syndrome, especially when combined with high-quality omega-3 fish oil. At the Lange Eye Institute and many dry eye centers , Fortifeye Black Currant Oil is often recommended alongside Fortifeye Super Omega to provide a “double defense” against dry eye by:
- Supporting the tear film’s lipid layer, reducing evaporation
- Improving meibomian gland function
- Reducing ocular surface inflammation
- Promoting long-term eye comfort for patients on digital devices or in dry climates
Many patients also notice secondary benefits such as stronger hair and nails, improved skin elasticity, and better overall vitality.
