ETHIOPIAN BLACK SEED OIL (HABACHIYA) - 100ML

Black seed (Nigella sativa) and its cold-extracted oil come from the same plant, but differ significantly in concentration, bioavailability and use.

Both are beneficial, but their effects are not comparable: the oil is the most concentrated and active form.

1. Black seed: the raw, traditional form

Black seeds have been used for centuries in traditional Eastern and Ayurvedic medicine.

They naturally contain fibre, essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, as well as thymoquinone, the main active compound.

However, when consumed whole or simply ground:

• their absorption is limited, as the shell protects some of the nutrients;
  
• their effect is gradual and moderate, better suited to ongoing or culinary use than a dedicated course.
  

They are therefore ideal for maintaining digestive health, flavouring dishes or supporting general wellbeing, but their potency remains lower than that of the oil.

2. Black seed oil: the concentrated, fast-acting, bioavailable form

Cold-pressed black seed oil is obtained from the seeds without chemical treatment.

This process extracts all the fat-soluble active compounds, particularly thymoquinone, polyphenols and essential fatty acids.

This makes it:

• highly concentrated,
  
• readily absorbed by the body,
  
• and more effective on immune, skin and hair functions.
  

While the seed works slowly, the oil works quickly and deeply, particularly on:

• strengthening natural defences,
  
• and skin and hair vitality.
  

3. In practice: which form should you choose?

Choose the oil if you want a comprehensive, fast action on health, skin, hair or immunity.

It offers optimal bioavailability and concentrates all the active compounds in black seed.

Choose the seeds for culinary or preventive use, adding them to dishes, infusions or baked goods.

They remain useful for maintaining digestive comfort and providing mild antioxidant support.

Combining both forms is ideal: seeds in cooking for everyday use, and oil taken internally as a course or applied externally for a targeted action.

4. In summary

• The seed is the raw, natural and gentle form, suitable for prevention and culinary use.
  
• Black seed oil is the concentrated and highly bioavailable form, with a much stronger effect on health and vitality.
  
• The oil works faster and more powerfully thanks to its high thymoquinone content.
  

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian Black Seed Oil, made from 100% pure seeds and cold-pressed, embodies the most authentic, potent and natural form of black seed, ideal for a complete health course or quality cosmetic care.

Black seed oil, also known as nigella seed oil or black cumin oil, is a vegetable oil obtained by first pressing of black cumin seeds.

Our Ethiopian black seed oil is produced with a constant concern for quality and authenticity.

Black seed oil is a versatile product that can be used in different ways depending on your needs.

Here are some tips on using it:

Internal use:

• As a food supplement: Take a teaspoon of black seed oil per day, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach or before meals. You can take it on its own or mix it with honey, orange juice or a drink of your choice.
• In your dishes: You can also add black seed oil to your cooking. It brings a distinctive flavour to dishes, especially salads, sauces and vegetable-based dishes.

External use:

• For the skin: Apply a few drops of black seed oil to the skin, massaging gently. It can be used to moisturise the skin, soothe irritation and support blemish-prone skin.
• For the hair: To promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles, massage black seed oil into the scalp before washing your hair. You can also add a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner.
• For the nails: To strengthen brittle nails, apply black seed oil to the nails and cuticles. This may help prevent breakage and promote nail health.

For inhalation: For a moment of respiratory wellbeing, add a few drops of black seed oil to hot water and inhale the steam.

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian black seed oil can be taken internally to enjoy its full benefits for health, immunity and general vitality.

Obtained through cold pressing and unfiltered, it retains all its essential fatty acids, antioxidants and natural active compounds, particularly thymoquinone, the main molecule responsible for its effects.

1. The ideal dosage for your needs

The recommended dose depends on your goal and digestive tolerance:

• Maintenance or immunity course: 1 teaspoon per day, in the morning on an empty stomach.
  
• Complete course or periods of fatigue/stress: 2 to 3 teaspoons per day, spread between the morning (on an empty stomach), afternoon and evening before bed.
  

This spacing allows gradual absorption and maintains continuous immune system support.

When using it for the first time, always start with ½ teaspoon per day for a few days to give your body time to adjust.

2. Why take it on an empty stomach?

Taking black seed oil on an empty stomach optimises its intestinal absorption and enhances its effects:

• Thymoquinone enters the bloodstream more quickly.
  
• Digestive enzymes are activated more effectively.
  
• The liver benefits from a gentle, natural detox effect from the morning.
  

This is the ideal time to strengthen the immune system and stimulate digestion.

3. How to take it every day

Black seed oil can be:

• taken on its own, directly from a spoon (slightly bitter and spicy taste),
  
• mixed with a spoonful of honey to soften the taste and enhance immune support,
  
• added to cold dishes (salads, cooked vegetables or plain yoghurt), without heating it, to preserve its active properties.
  

It is recommended never to cook it, as heat destroys some antioxidants and alters thymoquinone.

4. Course duration and consistency

For a lasting effect, a 1 to 3 month course is recommended and can be repeated several times a year.

Black seed oil works deeply, particularly on:

• immune support,
  
• and cell protection against oxidative stress.
  

Consistency matters more than quantity: 1 spoonful every day for several weeks is better than irregular doses.

5. In summary

• 1 to 3 teaspoons per day, depending on your needs.
  
• Preferably taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
  
• Take it on its own, with honey or in cold dishes.
  
• Do not heat, and favour consistent daily use over several weeks.
  

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian black seed oil, 100% pure and cold-pressed, provides a powerful natural course to support immunity, vitality and overall health.

The taste of black seed oil is very particular and recognizable among all vegetable oils.

It directly reflects its quality, freshness and richness in active ingredients.

A pure, cold-pressed and unfiltered black seed oil, like that of Nutrition•pro, has an intense and aromatic flavor, typical of Nigella sativa.

1. A typical taste: peppery, bitter, slightly spicy and aromatic

Authentic black seed oil presents a vivid and complex flavor, often compared to that of a spicy essential oil.

It releases peppery, bitter and slightly spicy notes, with a warm sensation at the back of the throat due to thymoquinone, the major active compound of the seed.

Its taste profile evokes both:

• black cumin,
  
• caraway,
  
• and certain powerful essential oils such as those of thyme or oregano, but in a softer and earthier version.
  

These pronounced aromas are a guarantee of purity and effectiveness: the more flavor the oil has, the more natural active ingredients it contains.

2. Why some oils have a milder taste

A black seed oil that is too neutral, too light or without bitterness is often:

• over-filtered or heated,
  
• industrially refined,
  
• or cut with other vegetable oils (sunflower, rapeseed, sesame).
  

These processes attenuate the flavor, but also the concentration of thymoquinone and antioxidants.

In other words: the less flavor it has, the less active it is.

3. How to soften its taste daily

For people sensitive to the aromatic power of black seed oil, there are several simple ways to soften its taste:

• Mix a teaspoon with pure honey, for a both softening and synergistic effect on immunity.
  
• Add it to cold preparations (salads, yogurts, smoothies, vegetable juices).
  
• Quickly consume it with a spoon, then drink a glass of water, orange or lemon juice.
  

These tips preserve all its effectiveness, without altering its benefits.

4. In summary

• The taste of black seed oil is spicy, peppery, slightly bitter and similar to an aromatic essential oil.
  
• These characteristics prove a raw, pure and unfiltered oil, rich in active ingredients.
  
• An oil with a too mild or neutral taste is often refined or cut.
  
• To soften the flavor, you can mix it with honey or add it to cold dishes.
  

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian Black Seed Oil, by its intense and natural aromatic flavor, testifies to its exceptional purity and richness in thymoquinone.

It is a living and powerful oil, ideal for internal and external use, in the service of health and overall well-being.

Thymoquinone is the main bioactive compound naturally present in black seed (black cumin seed). It gives black seed oil many of the properties recognised for centuries.

A powerful natural ingredient, thymoquinone is distinguished by its antioxidant effects, helping combat oxidative stress and cellular ageing. It also has recognised protective properties, making it a key component in supporting overall wellbeing.

By acting at the heart of the body's defence mechanisms, it helps strengthen internal balance, while contributing to improved skin and hair appearance when used externally.

This is why the thymoquinone level is an essential quality indicator: the higher it is, the more concentrated in active compounds, and therefore effective, the black seed oil is.

Thymoquinone is the main active compound of black seed oil, responsible for most of its benefits. The higher its level, the more concentrated and potentially effective the oil is. With a level of 4.4%, our oil is among the richest on the market, guaranteeing superior quality and optimal power.

Our primary commitment is to offer top-quality items while adopting a transparent approach.

We take great pride in disclosing the conclusions of the examinations carried out at Eurofins and SAI Chimie laboratories in order to establish the trust of our customers in our product.

The investigations conducted by these renowned laboratories make it possible to verify the purity of cold-pressed black seed oil, as well as its content of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Black seed oil, also known as black cumin oil, is a natural treasure offering a wealth of health and beauty benefits.

It contains a diverse range of chemical compounds contributing to its unique composition. These include thymoquinone, often highlighted for its specific role. It also contains vitamin E, along with molecules such as nigelline and nigellone. Carotenoids, which are natural pigments, also form part of its composition. Black seed oil is also rich in essential minerals, including zinc, iron and magnesium. It contains essential oils that give it distinctive aromatic characteristics. Not forgetting essential fatty acids, such as omega 3, linoleic acid and oleic acid, which complete this oil's biochemical profile.

Together, these compounds make black seed oil a valuable skincare ally, addressing a wide range of needs.

Here is a list of this valuable oil's potential benefits:

1. Immune system support: Black seed oil is rich in antioxidant compounds, particularly thymoquinone, which may help strengthen the immune system by protecting the body's cells from oxidative damage.
2. Digestive support: Black seed oil may soothe digestive issues such as bloating and gas thanks to its carminative properties, contributing to more comfortable digestion.
3. Soothing properties: Black seed oil compounds are traditionally sought for soothing the body and supporting everyday comfort.
4. Skincare: Applied topically, black seed oil may moisturise the skin, soothe irritation and support blemish-prone skin.
5. Hair growth: Black seed oil may strengthen hair follicles, promoting hair growth and helping prevent hair loss.
6. Positive effects on memory and concentration: Some black seed oil compounds may improve memory, concentration and overall cognitive health.
7. Stress reduction: Black seed oil may help reduce stress and anxiety thanks to its relaxing properties.
8. Digestive health support: In addition to relieving digestive issues, it may help reduce nausea and promote healthy digestion.

Recognising quality black seed oil is essential to enjoying its full benefits.

Origin, purity, extraction method, colour and packaging determine the active compound content, particularly thymoquinone, the molecule responsible for most of black seed's health effects.

1. Origin: Ethiopia, a global benchmark for purity

Not all black seed oils are equal.

Nigella sativa seeds grown in Ethiopia are recognised as having the highest thymoquinone concentration in the world.

They produce an oil that is:

• Richer in antioxidant compounds,
  
• more aromatic and dense,
  
• and naturally more effective for strengthening immunity and supporting vitality.
  

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian black seed oil comes from 100% pure seeds, certified at over 99%, carefully selected for their potency and purity.

2. Extraction: choose cold pressing

A cold-pressed oil retains all its essential fatty acids (omega-3, 6 and 9), vitamins (A, E and B) and natural antioxidants.

This gentle method, without solvents or refining, protects sensitive molecules such as thymoquinone, polyphenols and tocopherols.

Heated or refined oils lose a significant proportion of their nutrients and effectiveness.

Nutrition•pro oil is cold-pressed, without additives or chemical treatment.

3. Colour, smell and texture: key quality indicators

An authentic, unfiltered black seed oil always has:

• a dark colour, from amber to black: the darker it is, the more raw and concentrated in active compounds it is;
  
• a spicy, peppery smell, slightly pungent and typical of black cumin;
  
• a fluid yet slightly thick texture, sometimes with a small natural sediment: a sign of purity characteristic of unfiltered oils.
  

An oil that is too pale, odourless or clear has probably been refined, filtered or diluted with other vegetable oils (such as sunflower), greatly reducing its benefits.

4. Composition and brand transparency

A quality oil should always show on its label:

• the exact botanical name: Nigella sativa,
  
• the geographical origin (ideally Ethiopia),
  
• the extraction method (cold pressing),
  
• and the statement "100% pure", without additives, flavourings or preservatives.
  

A brand transparent about its origin and production method is a sign of reliability and professionalism.

5. Filtration and packaging

An unfiltered oil is often darker and slightly cloudy, a positive sign.

It contains more active microparticles from the seed, enhancing its effectiveness on health, skin and hair.

Packaging is equally essential:

• an amber or opaque glass bottle to protect the oil from light;
  
• an airtight cap to prevent oxidation;
  
• storage away from heat and moisture to maintain thymoquinone quality over time.
  

6. In summary: criteria for premium black seed oil

A high-quality black seed oil should meet all the following points:

• Ethiopian origin: the richest in thymoquinone and active compounds.
  
• Cold pressing: without solvents or refining, to preserve nutrients.
  
• Dark colour (amber to black): a sign of raw, unfiltered, concentrated oil.
  
• Slightly dense texture and possible sediment: an indicator of purity.
  
• Peppery smell and slightly bitter taste: a sign of authenticity.
  
• Opaque amber glass packaging: to prevent oxidation.
  
• Transparent, traceable composition: 100% Nigella sativa, without additives or blending.
  

Nutrition•pro Ethiopian Black Seed Oil meets all these criteria.

Natural, unfiltered, cold-pressed and highly concentrated in thymoquinone, it offers maximum effectiveness in supporting immunity, vitality, skin and hair.

Our black seed oil, being unfiltered and very concentrated, requires some precautions of use:

1. Black seed oil is generally well tolerated by the vast majority of users. However, it is essential to note that it can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to perform a prior patch test before applying black seed oil to a large area of skin. This test consists of applying a small amount of oil to the inner side of the arm or to the elbow, then waiting a period of 24 hours to observe any possible reaction.
2. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, it is strongly advised to seek the advice of their doctor before incorporating black seed oil into their routine.
3. In case of doubt or any adverse reaction, it is imperative to immediately stop using black seed oil and consult a health professional.
4. It is essential to avoid any contact of black seed oil with the eyes, as this may cause irritation.
5. For safety reasons, it is essential to keep black seed oil out of the reach of children.
