HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Currant Seed Oil 1070 mg by NusaPure

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: black currant oil and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, a fatty acid found in black currant). Black currant oil is the primary active component; it's made from the seeds of the black currant plant.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and purified water — these are inactive ingredients that hold the oil together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Black Currant product and its label doesn't state a use — see Black Currant's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we have on black currant seed oil for the conditions listed — including Alzheimer disease, liver disease, upper respiratory infections, cough, and eczema — is insufficient to establish whether it works. That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the available studies aren't solid enough yet to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Currant

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Black currant as a food is considered safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less well studied. The safety data we hold advises caution and suggests you check with your doctor before starting.

In one trial of people with high cholesterol taking 1.8 grams twice daily for 6 weeks, a small number reported mild diarrhea within 2-10 days of starting — this was considered related to the supplement. We don't have safety information on file for pregnancy or breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Black Currant

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Black Currant.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 140 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — there's a moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also clear it first if you're on a phenothiazine antipsychotic, as there's a theoretical concern about seizure threshold.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Black currant seed oil is an option if you're interested in its potential benefits, but the evidence for those benefits isn't yet established. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, or if you're on an antipsychotic medication, you'll want to clear this with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

The supplement is generally well tolerated in short-term use, though mild diarrhea is possible early on.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

Where does this information come from?

Does black currant seed oil actually work for anything?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works reliably for the conditions it's marketed for — Alzheimer disease, liver disease, respiratory infections, cough, or eczema. That means the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it helps or doesn't.

Is this safe to take while pregnant or nursing?
We don't have enough information on file to say. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement makes sense for you if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant — they can give you personalized advice.
