What is in the capsules, and why does the description mention thymoquinone? — Black Seed Oil Capsules 300 mg, 100 pcs - VITATEKA

The capsules are based on Nigella sativa (black cumin) seed oil. The other ingredients are tocopherol extract (antioxidant), gelatin (capsule shell) and humectants (glycerin, water).

Key components of the oil:

• Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are a type of fat involved in the function of cell membranes and in metabolic processes. They are essential: the body cannot synthesise them itself, so they have to come from food or supplements.
• Thymoquinone is a natural compound characteristic of black cumin in particular. It is largely because of its presence that Nigella sativa attracts interest as an ingredient in food supplements and in the traditional plant culture of the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

It is important to understand that the supplement is not a medicine and is not intended to treat or prevent any disease. It is a source of plant fatty acids that can be included in the diet as an addition to balanced nutrition. If you take medication or have chronic conditions, consult a specialist before you start taking it.
