Sourced from Ribes nigrum (a plant native to parts of Europe and Asia), black currant extract is typically derived from black currant fruit or from the oil of black currant seeds. Black currant extracts are widely available in dietary supplement form. Black currant oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid found to reduce inflammation. In addition, black currant berries (a substance often consumed as a whole food) contain high amounts of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant.
Hydroelectric energy is the cleanest form of renewable generation as it does not release any harmful gases, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants which directly or indirectly affect the environment.
1 A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. 2  A hydroelectric powerplant converts the mechanical energy of water in a storage dam into electrical energy. 3  An internal combustion engine is a heat engine that obtains mechanical energy from chemical energy by burning fuel.
