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.
Hydroelectric energy is a very important energy source, both nationally and worldwide. About 19% of the world's total electricity production comes from hydroelectric energy and about 7% of the power in the U.S. When we look at hydroelectric energy for the U.S. in terms of renewable energy sources (so comparing this to things like solar power, wind power, geothermal energy and biofuels), it makes up 96% of renewable energy electricity production.
