Each serving provides 0.6% (27 mg) of thymoquinone, the key phytochemical in black cumin that provides its therapeutic effects. Standardizing the oil to thymoquinone ensures its medicinal benefits. Nature's Way is a guaranteed source of thymoquinone, which sets it apart from other black cumin oils that don't provide this active ingredient!
Main effects of black cumin oil:
→ Contributes to accelerating the recovery processes in case of impaired liver function. Supports its regeneration during treatment with heavy medications, regular alcohol consumption or liver diseases.
→ It may help partially regenerate pancreatic beta cells, increase serum insulin concentrations, and lower serum glucose. Studies have shown that it alleviates symptoms in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. According to some researchers, it may improve glucose tolerance almost as effectively as some medications.
→ It benefits heart function and helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
→ It exhibits activity against many multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially staphylococci and methicillin-resistant strains of the superbug Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Studies have shown that several strains of MRSA are sensitive to the components (especially thymoquinone) in black cumin seed oil, which may inhibit the overgrowth of this pathogen.
→ Aids digestion and relieves gas, bloating and stomach pain. A suitable remedy for intestinal parasites. The active components in its composition counteract Helicobacter pylori – the bacterium that can cause ulcers.
→ A natural immunostimulant, suitable even in cases of autoimmune diseases. It increases immune function, but does not provoke the immune system to react against healthy body tissues.
Topical application of black cumin oil – hair and skin
→ Thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial properties, black cumin seed oil supports the condition of hair follicles, reduces dandruff and controls sebum production. It relieves skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
→ Its most important ingredient, thymoquinone, exhibits natural antihistamine properties. Antihistamines are often prescribed to patients with androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata. That is why the oil is a great solution for reducing hair loss without the need for medication.
→ It is considered one of the most effective natural remedies against premature graying of hair, which is not caused by genetic factors, but is a result of stress, nutrient deficiencies, etc. It penetrates deep into the hair follicles and helps retain pigment cells in the hair, encouraging their main activity – to produce melanin.
→ It is rich in amino acids and other hair-strengthening components. It has very good effects on oily scalp and dry ends – it normalizes sebum production and at the same time “nourishes” the hair from root to tip.
You can add a few drops of the oil to massage oils, body lotions, shampoos, conditioners or hair masks, or apply it on its own. It combines perfectly with other natural oils.
