Most of the pharmacological effects of nigella sativa oil are due to the content of the volatile oil. Thymoquinone is the most scrutinized component of the volatile oil as it is the major bioactive one responsible for most of the therapeutic properties. The more volatile oil there is, the more thymoquinone we can expect to be present and therefore, the more healing capabilities. Our findings reveal that the volatile content of the black seed can vary widely, depending on the hybrid, the growing conditions and the location of the crop.
All our oils are analyzed immediately after pressing and we have sourced black seeds with the highest amount of volatile oil. Our Mild oil has a volatile oil percentage of about 1.2, comparable to most other oils on the market, which are generally between 0.3 and 1.2%. Our Original oil has 1.5-1.7% of volatile oil, but the jewel in our crown is our Strong blackseed oil. This typically contains between 4.3 and 4.9% volatile oil – 4-5 times more powerful than most other black seed oils available. This is 100% pure oil with absolutely no additives remains unprecedented.
