I have been taking 2000 mg's of Black Currant oil (4 capsules) a day for 9 weeks now. I initially started taking it for shedding/thinning/brittle hair. Then I discovered that it was REALLY lessening the intensity of my HOT FLASHES! HALLELUJAH!!! Since taking BCO my (AA 4C) hair has dramatically stopped shedding/thinning and is becoming really, really thick! REALLY! I was prepared to...

I use BC for Sjogrens. It's done wonders for my dry eye, but even better it's given me control over my hot flashes! I had a Hyster in 2019 and they left my ovaries, but I am now almost 50 and it's gotten overwhelming. I am so much more comfortable in regard to my eyes, arthritis and hot flashes while taking this and it's safe which is even better.

Jan-June 2018 saw me starting to get intense menopausal hot flushes at least twice a day and uncomfortable at night too.. Was starting to interfere with work. I went to a well woman clinic to ask about HRT and the nurse suggested to research natural remedies first as I am still occasionally menstruating. So, I discovered the reviews for menopause relief mentioned blackcurrant oil as an effective remedy. I started with a high dose of 1000mg per day mid June 2018. Within 5 days of taking, my flushes became very mild and within 2 weeks the crazy intense flushes had stopped entirely. 6 months on, I have not had a hot flush... If I miss a few days dosage, I notice the heat trying to rise... So now carry them everywhere in case I am caught without! To me, it is a little miracle.... Who knows if it is a coincidence or not but I am a convert to it! Read More Read Less

Black currant seed oil was recommended by my chiropractor. It significantly reduces my arthritis pain in the winter months.

I started taking black currant oil because I read an article in readers digest about it. It has helped me so much. I suffered from excruciating menstrual cramps and since I've been taking this I no longer experience the cramping.

This is for moms with fussy babies. my son was suffering from stomach issues, not knowing what was causing his pain and not wanting to use prescription medicatino to treat possible symptoms of reflux, lactose allergy, colic, etc I took him a NUCCA doctor. He was alinged and I was told about Black Currant Seed Oil for colic. He went from a cross, very uncomfortable and unhappy baby to a perfect gem. He now sleeps 11 hours consistently with two naps a day and does not spit up or complain of stomach pain like he used. What I thought was stomach pain, still do not know for sure what was wrong but he's PERFECT now at 4 months old!!!! Read More Read Less

Then I discovered that it was REALLY lessening the intensity of my HOT FLASHES! HALLELUJAH!!! Since taking BCO my (AA 4C) hair has dramatically stopped shedding/thinning and is becoming really, really thick! REALLY! I was prepared to wait for at least 3 or 4 months for noticeable results, but it's only been 9 weeks and I can honestly say that these capsules are working. And I'm so, so, so, very relieved, because my hair has seriously thinned out and the shedding was causing a torrent of tears. I suggest ANYONE should give it a try. Hope you're all as successful as I've been.Read More Read Less

I am taking black currant seed oil capsules 3x a day for hot flashes. This is the only thing that has worked for me effectively reducing the # per day and intensity by about 50-70% depending on the day.

In age related and repetetive task muscle and joint pain,I've noticed this Black Currant Seed Oil has made a generally effective in relief for back and neck with soreness issues. I am currently taking analgesic pain relievers and anti-seizure medicine for nerve and back with neck pain and it's only been about two weeks at 1000-1500 mg in divided doses and it has made a noticeable improvement.Started with a 1000 mg each day and stayed with that for a week after which I felt I was able to enjoy some mood or general well being feeling and so I increased to 1500. I am also glad to say I am using a reputable source for the more quality supplement.I will try to stay with this to let my hope for other symptom relief remain optimistic, as I have been on agressive measures for the back pain and neck pain with chronic fatigue for about four years and will expect the benefits to continue. If cost becomes problematic I may try borage oil. But I have read alot about BCSO. Read More Read Less
