Osterly Market Black Seed Oil

Cold-pressed Nigella sativa. Thymoquinone percentage stated.

Cold-pressed black seed oil with the thymoquinone content on the label — the active that most black seed products stay carefully quiet about.

What it's for

Black seed oil comes from Nigella sativa, used across the Middle East and South Asia for centuries. Its most studied component is thymoquinone. Modern research covers immune function, respiratory comfort and metabolic markers, with a lot of small trials and few large ones. The thymoquinone percentage is what separates a real product from an expensive bottle of seed oil.

How to take it

• One softgel daily with food
• Fat-soluble; food improves absorption
• Most trials run eight to twelve weeks
• It may lower blood pressure and blood sugar modestly — worth knowing if you are medicated for either

On the label

• Cold-pressed Nigella sativa oil
• Thymoquinone percentage stated
• Vegan softgels
• 120 softgels

What this is not

• Not solvent-extracted
• Not a cure for anything, despite what the internet says about black seed
• Not flavourless if a capsule breaks

The straight answer

Thymoquinone content varies enormously between black seed products and is almost never printed. When it is missing, assume it is low.
