Black Seed Oil | Organic | Cold-Pressed | Nigella sativa | 120 Softgels

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the primary bioactive monoterpene ketone inNigella sativaseed oil, accounting for 18–24% of the volatile oil fraction. It is the most extensively studied component of black seed oil in clinical research on lipid metabolism and blood sugar regulation. Non standardized black seed oil products contain highly variable thymoquinone content ranging from as low as 0.5% to over 3% depending on seed origin, growing conditions, and extraction method. Standardization to 2% thymoquinone ensures that each 1,000mg serving delivers a consistent 20mg of thymoquinone the same potency in every softgel, every bottle, aligned with the clinical research literature.

Black seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds ofNigella sativa a flowering plant native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean, used in traditional medicine for over 2,000 years across Islamic, Ayurvedic, and Egyptian healing traditions. The primary bioactive compound is thymoquinone (TQ), a monoterpene ketone that is the most extensively studied component ofNigella sativain the peer reviewed literature. Helps support normal LDL cholesterol, normal blood triglyceride levels, and healthy blood sugar and glucose metabolism.

Nigella sativaseed oil and its primary bioactive compound thymoquinone have been studied for their effects on lipid metabolism in multiple randomized controlled trials. The Health Canada licensed indication for NPN 80147806 includes support for normal LDL cholesterol and normal blood triglyceride levels. Use for a minimum of 8 weeks to see beneficial effects, as lipid metabolism changes require consistent supplementation over time. Ask a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks.

Thymoquinone has been studied for its effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in clinical research. The Health Canada licensed indication for NPN 80147806 includes support for healthy blood sugar and glucose metabolism. Ask a healthcare practitioner before use if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia, as black seed oil may affect blood sugar levels. Stop use and ask a healthcare practitioner immediately if you experience sweating, paleness, chills, headache, dizziness, or confusion these may be symptoms of serious low blood sugar.

Cold pressing extracts oil fromNigella sativaseeds without heat, preserving the full volatile oil fraction including thymoquinone, thymol, carvacrol, linoleic acid, and oleic acid. Heat extraction and solvent extraction methods use elevated temperatures or chemical solvents that degrade heat-sensitive volatile compounds, reduce thymoquinone content, and may leave solvent residues in the finished oil. Cold pressed black seed oil retains the complete bioactive compound profile of the seed the form most consistent with the traditional use and clinical research literature onNigella sativa.

Taking black seed oil with food reduces the likelihood of digestive upset, which is a known potential side effect noted in the Health Canada product monograph for Nigella sativa supplements. Fat soluble compounds in black seed oil, including thymoquinone and essential fatty acids, are also better absorbed when taken with a meal containing dietary fat, as bile secretion triggered by food intake supports fat soluble compound absorption.

Organic certification means the Nigella sativa seeds used in this formula are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. For an oil product, organic sourcing is particularly important because oil soluble pesticide residues concentrate in the oil fraction during extraction. Organic cold-pressed black seed oil provides the purest possible oil free from synthetic agricultural chemical residues maintaining the integrity of the thymoquinone and volatile oil profile from seed to softgel.

Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking medication for high blood pressure or have hypertension, have a known immune disorder, have diabetes or hypoglycemia, or are taking any prescription medications. Stop use immediately and ask a healthcare practitioner if you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (sweating, paleness, chills, headache, dizziness, confusion) or if a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
