Though the Black Seed is most commonly known as a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), this plant also contains high levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, serving as a valuable source of protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, C and niacin as well as minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc. One of its specific active components, thymoquinone, has been studied for its potential benefits in helping fight several chronic illness: neurological and mental illness, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes, respiratory disorders, inflammatory conditions, digestive conditions, to support kidney and liver function, as well as various infectious diseases due to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections.

HAIR & SKIN SUPERFOOD

HEART & ARTERY SUPPORT
Components of black seed extract work to help support cardiovascular health by reducing inflammation, while the powerful omega fatty-acids, vitamins, and polyphenols in our black seed extract can improve blood sugar and blood pressure in people with diabetes. Research has demonstrated that it might also improve cholesterol levels, increasing ‘good’ high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and reducing total cholesterol, "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and blood fats called triglycerides in people with borderline high cholesterol.
JOINT & DIGESTIVE COMFORT
Studies suggest that black seed extract may help support joint health and mobility by lessening joint swelling and stiffness. And, it’s ideal for people with poor digestion by helping to maintain intestinal flora, along with its anti-inflammatory properties that may help calm intestinal muscles, ease indigestion, provide digestive comfort, and curb appetite, so you stay fuller longer.
