Description
Nigella Sativa Extract Powder | Contains Minimum 10% Thymoquinone Content Nigella Sativa is an annual flowering plant in the ranunculus family (Ranunculaceae) that is primarily found in Southern Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia. Nigella Sativa is also cultivated in a number of other countries including India, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Also known as Black Seed Extract, Nigella Sativa Extract has a long history of documented use dating back 2,000 years in traditional and Ayurvedic systems. The name "Black Seed" is, of course, a reference to the color of this annual herb's seeds. Aside from their reported health benefits, these seeds are also sometimes used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.The Nigella Sativa plant itself can grow up to about 12 inches tall and its flowers are usually pale blue in color but can also be white, yellow, pink or light purple. It is believed that thymoquinone, which is present in Nigella Sativa seeds, is the major active component responsible for Nigella Sativa's reported health benefits. Traditionally, Nigella Sativa Extract has been used due to the belief that it supports general well-being and longevity. While Nootropics Depot offers Nigella Sativa Extract in powder form, Black Seed Oil is another common form of the extract. Why Choose Nigella Sativa Extract Powder Over Black Seed Oil? Traditionally, using a black seed oil supplement will only provide you with an average of 1% Thymoquinone content. This is in stark contrast to the Nigella Sativa Extract that Nootropics Depot carries which has 10 times as much at 10% Thymoquinone content! Not only is the thymoquinone content higher, but it is also available in powder form. This makes incorporating Nigella Sativa extract into a supplement regimen much more convenient.
