Kalonji. Nigella Sativa. The Blessed Seed. Revered in Islamic medicine as a cure for everything except death. Our cold-pressed extraction preserves thymoquinone — the primary bioactive compound responsible for its extraordinary pharmacological properties.
Thymoquinone (TQ) — the primary compound in black seed oil — has been the subject of over 1,000 published studies examining its effects on immunity, inflammation, cancer cells, blood sugar, and more.
Black seed oil's unique value comes not from its fat profile (which is unremarkable) but from its extraordinary phytochemical content — particularly thymoquinone.

Most clinical studies use 1–3 ml (¼–½ tsp) per day. Starting with smaller doses is advisable. The oil has a strong, slightly peppery taste — mixing with raw honey or warm water makes it more palatable.
Black seed oil has a millennia-long history of daily use in traditional medicine across the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. Modern clinical trials confirm its safety at therapeutic doses. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before use as it may affect uterine contractions in high doses.
We test every batch for thymoquinone content via HPLC — most brands don't. We use cold pressing (heat destroys TQ). We bottle in dark amber glass with nitrogen flushing. And we source only from verified high-TQ cultivars.
It is not recommended for high-heat cooking as thymoquinone is degraded by heat. Use it raw — as a supplement, in salad dressings, or added to dishes after cooking.
If taking 1–3 ml daily, a 100ml bottle lasts 1–3 months. Shelf life is 24 months unopened. After opening, consume within 6 months and store refrigerated to preserve TQ content.
