EFAs are omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids which cannot be synthesized in the body. They are important constituents for the generation of immune cells and for the growth and maintenance of the nervous system.
Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) : Amino Acids are building blocks of proteins. Black Cumin Seeds contain 15 amino acids, 8 of which are Essential Amino Acids that cannot be synthesized in the body.
Nigellone : This is potent anti-histamine, which is responsible for the anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic properties of Black Cumin (Nigella).

Thymoquinone and other Volatile Oils : Thymoquinone is the potent anti-cancer agent found in black seed, which was demonstrated to significantly inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer cells, one of the most invasive cancers affecting man. It does this by augmenting the process of apoptosis or programmed cell death. Other volatile oils include p-cymene, limonene and carvone. All these have potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Immunomodulators : These are substances that rectify imbalances in the immune system thereby preventing the occurrence of auto-immune diseases.
Vitamins : Contains many of the water soluble and fat soluble vitamins, especially carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, which is a potent anti-oxidant.

Fatty acid analysis of the extracted oil
56% linoleic acid
24.6% oleic acid
12% palmitic acid
3% stearic acid
2.5% eicosadienoic acid
0.7% linolenic acid
0.16% myristic acid
Omega 6 and 3 EFAs
The perfect balance in the body the omega 6 and omega 3 should be in a ratio of 3:1 respectively. Nigella sativa (Black Seed) oil helps maintain this ratio through the production of Prostoglandin E1. Studies have determined this is probably brought about by the component thymoquinone (contained in Nigella sativa oil).ThymoquinoneThymoquinone is an antioxidant, which inhibits the formation of undesirable prostoglandins, is anti-inflammatory and has a pain killing effect. It has a choleretic effect (stimulates the production of bile) and is good for fat metabolism and detoxification. It has a bronchodilating effect and is thereby protective against asthma attacks. It has been reported that it inhibits the secretion of histamines and could be a true alternative to cortisone based therapies for certain allergy sufferers.Thymoquinone is proven to be a natural, very potent anti-oxidant. When oxygen isn™t broken down completely in the cell membrane, which can be due to alcohol intake, drugs, bad diet and environmental pollution,the formation of free radicals results.
This can lead to a number of diseases including : cataract, heart disease, weakened immune system, Parkinson™s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer™s disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.Production of Prostaglandin E1The Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded for research done on prostoglandins in 1982. The fatty acids are up to 50% polyunsaturated and therefore essential for human beings. Nigella sativa (Blackseed) oil can be compared to Borage and Primrose oil for this high essential content yet it has further healing components and is more versatile. It is the essential fatty acids combined with the volatile oil that play the vital role of forming prostoglandin E1 that harmonizes the immune system.Prostaglandin E1 Has Numerous Actions In The Human Body
It regulates the brain functions, nerve conduction, and release of transmitter substances and messenger substances.
It lowers the blood pressure and vasodilation and prevents the clumping of the little blood platelets (thrombocytes)
It regulates the immune system and activates the T-lymphocytes, which are essential for the body defense against illness.
It inhibits allergic processes
It normalizes inflamed skin
It has a bronchodilating effect
It increases hormonal secretion for the thyroid hormone and insulin, for example.
It regulates the female sexual hormones, especially during the corpous-luteum phase of the cycle, pregnancy and menopause.
It has an anti-inflammatory effect by preventing the release of certain enzymes that cause inflammations.
Prostoglandin E1 has a regulating and harmonizing effect on the immune system. This creates a calming effect when there is an overreaction, as is the case with allergies and asthma, which Blackseed oil thymoquinone also supports the anti-inflammatory, bronchodilatory, and secretagogic effect of prostoglandinE1. Similarly, Black Seed oil also regulates the weakened immune system by increasing its capability of eliminating free radicals, tumors and cancerous cells.NigellonNigellon, another compound found in Nigella sativa, is also bronchodilatory and has an antispasmodic and warming effect. This is another reason why Nigella sativa can help treat respiratory disorders such as asthma and whooping cough. Research has also confirmed that it has anti- histamine qualities comparable to thymoquinone.Saponin Melathin (Anti Parasitic)Saponin Melathin (found in Nigella sativa (Black seed) oil has strong cleaning properties and is used as a laxative and for destroying parasites. It is effective in destroying parasites in infants where most herbal remedies would be too extreme, for example, a common herbal treatment is wormwood, a severe cleansing herb and cannot be used in sensitive applications.In food, Saponin Melathin promotes the absorption of nutrients. It increases secretion and is considered mucolytic and expectorant providing liquefication of bronchial secretion and quick removal of bronchial mucous. It supports the bitter principle nigellin’s curative effect on metabolism for stimulating the appetite and as a digestant aid (this is due to the increased secretion of gastric juices). It promotes intestinal cleansing and encourages an overall eliminating action.Beta-sisterol (also found in Nigella Sativa) reduces cholesterol levels.Essential Oils and Lymphatic drainageEssential oils have the holistic effect by smells triggering release of hormones and messenger substance. Also they are digested directly through the lymphatics helping to clear any congestion in the lymphatic system. This leaves the lymphatic system free to perform it™s function of purifying the blood (essential during any illness).Vitamin B Complex : Nigella Sativa oil is rich in vitamin B complexVitamin B2 : It is required by the body to use oxygen and the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates.Thiamine (Vitamin B1)It is another one of the B complex. It plays an important role in helping the body convert carbohydrates and fat into energy. It is essential for normal growth and development and helps to maintain proper functioning of the heart and the nervous and digestive systems.Niacin (Vitamin B3) Another B complex is essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. It maintains muscle tone along the digestive tract and promotes the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver.SeleniumSelenium is also found in Nigella sativa. Studies have shown that mortality (death) from cancer, including lung, colorectal, and prostate cancers, is lower among people with higher selenium blood levels or intake. Antioxidant selenium is believed to reduce the risk of cancer, prevent blood clots, to be antiviral, anti-bacterial and inhibit chromozone damage. It is also said to counteract the effect toxins and heavy metals.Selenium is also used for standard external application for skin problems to experimental and theoretical applications in nutrition and internal medicine. Naturopaths use selenium supplements to treat asthma, acne, tendinitis, infertility problems in men, and postmenopausal disorders in women.B-Carotene : B-Carotene is converted by the liver into vitamin A, the vitamin known for its anti-cancer activity.Arginine : It is essential for infant growth.Fifteen amino acids make up the protein content of Nigella sativa (black seed), including nine of the nine essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized within our body in sufficient quantities and are thus required from our diet. Nigella sativa is also a source of calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Required only in small amounts by the body, these elements main function is to act as essential cofactors in various enzyme functions. With all these compounds and nutrients, it becomes less of a mystery as to why Nigella Sativa is so effective in the treatment of so many chronic, debilitating diseases.Note : NOT TO BE TAKEN DURING PREGNANCYSpecifications
