Black Seed Extract Oil
Nigella Sativa Seed Extract Oil, also known as black seed extract oil, is derived from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant, which is a flowering plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family. The extract is rich in bioactive compounds such as thymoquinone, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, proteins, and fatty acids.
Nigella sativa (black caraway, also known as black cumin, nigella, kalonji, charnushka) is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to eastern Europe (Bulgaria and Romania) and western Asia (Cyprus, Turkey, Iran and Iraq), but naturalized over a much wider area, including parts of Europe, northern Africa and east to Myanmar. It is used as a spice in many cuisines. Nigella Sativa Extract has a long history of documented use dating back 2,000 years in traditional and Ayurvedic medicine systems. The name "Black Seed" is, of course, a reference to the color of this annual herb's seeds. Aside from their reported health benefits, these seeds are also sometimes used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The Nigella Sativa plant itself can grow up to about 12 inches tall and its flowers are usually pale blue but can also be white, yellow, pink, or light purple. It is believed that thymoquinone, which is present in Nigella Sativa seeds, is the major active chemical component responsible for Nigella Sativa's reported health benefits.
Nigella Sativa Seed Extract is believed to have various potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating properties. It has been traditionally used in herbal medicine and is also incorporated into dietary supplements, herbal remedies, and natural health products.

Composition Of The Nigella Sativa Seed
Nigella Sativa seeds contain a well-balanced composition of proteins, fatty acids and carbohydrates. A specific subset of the fatty acids, known as the essential oil, is considered the active part of the Nigella Sativa seed as it contains the main bioactive component Thymoquninone. While the oil component of a Nigella Sativa seed usually comprises 36-38% of its total weight, the essential oil component usually only accounts for .4% - 2.5% of the Nigella Sativa seeds total weight. A specific breakdown of the composition of Nigella Sativa's essential oil is as follows:
Thymoquinone
dithymoquinone (Nigellone)
Thymohydroquinone
Thymo
p-Cymene
Carvacrol
4-terpineol
Longifoline
t-anethole
Limonene
Nigella Sativa Seeds also contain other non-caloric components including Thiamin (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Folic Acid, Potassium, Niacin, and more.
While there are a number of active compounds found in Nigella Sativa including thymohydroquinone, p-cymene, carvacrol, 4-terpineol, t-anethol, and longifolene and others listed above; it is believed that the presence of the phytochemical Thymoquinone is largely responsible for Nigella Sativa's reported health benefits. Thymoquinone is then converted to a dimer known as dithymoquinone (Nigellone) in the body. Both cell and animal studies have suggested that Thymoquinone may support cardiovascular health, brain health, cellular function, and more. Thymoquinone is classified as a pan-assay interference compound that bind to many proteins indiscriminately.
The primary difference between black seed extract powder and black seed extract oil lies in their form and composition.
Black seed extract powder is typically a concentrated form of the active compounds found in black seeds, including thymoquinone, and is often used in dietary supplements or for incorporation into various products. On the other hand, black seed extract oil is the lipid-based extract obtained from the seeds through a pressing or extraction process, and it is commonly used in culinary, skincare, and haircare applications, as well as in traditional medicine.
While both the powder and oil forms may contain the same percentage of thymoquinone, the powder form is typically more concentrated and may be easier to standardize for specific dosages, while the oil form provides the benefits of the lipid-soluble components and is more suitable for topical or culinary use.
It’s important to note that the specific applications and benefits of each form may vary, and individuals should consider their intended use and consult with a healthcare professional or product expert to determine the most suitable form for their needs.
