HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Currant Extract by Herbadiet
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product is pure black currant fruit extract powder — just one active ingredient. The extract contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and other compounds from the black currant berry, concentrated into powder form.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for black currant extract is thin across the board. We hold data on its use for Alzheimer disease, liver disease, upper respiratory tract infection, cough, and atopic dermatitis (eczema), but in each case the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it actually works.
That doesn't mean it's ineffective — it means the research isn't solid enough yet to say.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Food amounts of black currant berry are considered safe, but concentrated supplements like this powder are much less studied. The facts advise caution and recommend checking with your doctor first before using a supplement form.
In a trial of over 2,000 patients taking black currant seed oil, a small number reported mild diarrhea, which appeared 2 to 10 days after starting. Pregnancy and lactation data isn't on file for this ingredient, so you'll want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others) — black currant may increase bleeding risk. Also confirm the dose if you take antipsychotic medications (phenothiazines), as there's a theoretical concern about seizure threshold.
These are the main medication types to double-check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Black currant extract may appeal to you if you're interested in supplements from whole-fruit sources, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established yet. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or antipsychotics, this one needs a careful check with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.
The concentrated form is less studied than the berry itself, so clarify the safety profile with your healthcare provider.

Black Currant fruit extract powder monograph & interactionsBlack Currant Extract by Herbadiet Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbadiet Black Currant Extract is a single-ingredient powder that does interact with certain medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel). Black currant contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which has antiplatelet properties — meaning it may thin your blood further and raise your bleeding risk if you're already on these medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
There's also a moderate concern with antipsychotic medications called phenothiazines. Theoretically, the GLA in black currant might lower your seizure threshold when combined with these drugs, though there's no direct evidence this has happened in practice.
Altogether, these interactions span 140 individual medications. Before you start this supplement, run your exact medications — especially any blood thinners, antiplatelet agents, or antipsychotics — through the checker below with your doctor or pharmacist.

Black Currant fruit extract powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding if used in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a constituent of black currant seed oil, appears to have antiplatelet effects.
Phenothiazines
Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of seizure in patients receiving phenothiazines.
Black currant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is some concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines, although there is no evidence that black currant seed oil causes seizures. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with GLA, although none experienced an actual seizure. In another report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose 4 grams daily, which contains GLA, was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures.
