Black seed oil (5:1) 1000mg

Discover HSN black cumin oil

Black cumin oil (5:1) 1000 mg from EssentialSeries is a food supplement made from the seed oil of Nigella sativa, a plant known as black cumin.

We’ve developed this concentrated product to offer a convenient way to enjoy the natural characteristics of black cumin seed oil in an easy-to-take softgel. Each softgel provides one gram of black cumin oil, obtained by cold pressing and concentrated at a 5:1 ratio, setting it apart from other black cumin products on the market.

5:1 concentration: more than a conventional oil

The 5:1 ratio means that the oil has undergone a concentration process, so the amount of oil obtained is equivalent to the oil content of five times as much black cumin seed.

In practice, one softgel provides 1000 mg of concentrated black cumin seed oil, equivalent to 5000 mg of seed. It’s an example of the care taken when processing the raw material: mechanical methods produce a high-quality, concentrated product without damaging the original ingredient.

Cold pressing: a key process for oil quality

Vegetable oils obtained from seeds require particularly careful processing to preserve their natural characteristics. That’s why we use cold-pressed black cumin oil in this product.

Cold pressing is a mechanical extraction method that obtains the oil without using high temperatures. This helps preserve the oil’s natural profile and properties, maintaining the quality of the raw material.

With seed oils, the extraction method matters because it directly affects how well the final product is preserved and the experience of taking it.

A plant-based formula in softgel form

We’ve chosen veggie softgels as a convenient, easy-to-take alternative to liquid oils.

Although they’re softgels, we’ve used a plant-based shell without gelatine, making this food supplement suitable for vegan routines. The formula contains cold-pressed black cumin oil (5:1), along with the additives needed to make a firm, easy-to-take softgel, without using ingredients of animal origin.
