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 chemical 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 available for purchase.
Nigella Sativa health benefits and uses may include:
Nigella Sativa seeds contain a well-balanced composition of proteins, fatty acids and carbohydrates. A specific subset of the fatty acids, known as the essential oil, is considered the active part of the Nigella Sativa seed as it contains the main bioactive component Thymoquninone. While the oil component of a Nigella Sativa seed usually comprises 36-38% of its total weight, the essential oil component usually only accounts for .4% - 2.5% of the Nigella Sativa seeds total weight. A specific breakdown of the composition of Nigella Sativa's essential oil is as follows:
Nigella Sativa Seeds also contain other non-caloric components including Thiamin (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Folic Acid, Potassium, Niacin, and more.
While there are a number of active compounds found in Nigella Sativa including thymohydroquinone, p-cymene, carvacrol, 4-terpineol, t-anethol, and longifolene and others listed above; it is believed that the presence of the phytochemical Thymoquinone is largely responsible for Nigella Sativa's reported health benefits. Thymoquinone is then converted to a dimer known as dithymoquinone (Nigellone) in the body. Both cell and animal studies have suggested that Thymoquinone may support cardiovascular health, brain heath, cellular function, and more. Thymoquinone is classified as a pan-assay interference compound which bind to many proteins indiscriminately.
Thymoquinone and Dithymoquinone Structures
Yes, this Nigella Sativa Extract powder contains a minimum of 5% or 10% Thymoquinone content.
One of the main active compounds in black seed oil which is responsible for its reported benefits is Thymoquinone. In regular black seed oil it is often only present at levels of around 1%. However, we have been able to source a Nigella Sativa powdered extract which has a whopping 5% or 10% Thymoquinone! Not only is this black seed oil powder very high in Thymoquinone, the fact that it is a powder makes it a lot easier to use. Oils are oftentimes messy to handle, however, powders can be far more easily contained and used in a variety of ways in which the oil cannot. For example, if you make your own powder blends with other ingredients, especially if you are making your own capsules then using the black seed oil powder is ideal.
The black seed oil powder is especially useful if you are trying to target a specific amount of Thymoquinone. With black seed oil, the maximum concentration of Thymoquinone as mentioned earlier, is often times at around 1%. That means a common dose for black seed oil is around 500 mg to 1,000 mg which yields 5-10 mg of Thymoquinone. With this Nigella Sativa powdered extract, 500 mg of the powder would contain a very large amount of Thymoquinone: 25mg for the 5% Thymoquinone extract and 50mg for the 10% Thymoquinone extract. This means we can dose the powder much lower in comparison to black seed oil. A dosage that is equal to 10mg of Thymoquinone would only be 200mg of the Nigella Sativa Extract powder with 5% Thymoquinone. In the case of Nigella Sativa Extract Powder with 10% Thymoquinone, 100mg would yield 10mg of Thymoquinone.
The powdered Nigella Sativa Extract should also be slightly more stable than the Black Seed Oil during long term storage. So, if you are looking to enjoy the benefits of black seed oil, look no further than Nootropic Depot’s Nigella Sativa powder with 5% Thymoquinone.
5% Thymoquinone: As a dietary supplement, take 200mg of Nigella Sativa Extract powder once daily. | 10% Thymoquinone: As a dietary supplement, take 200mg of Nigella Sativa Extract powder once daily.

ND 10% thymoquinone is hands down the best I've tried in my years of taking BSE and the powder is an even better deal. I will say that the taste isn't that pleasant so if you are adverse to bitter, you may want to pay the extra for the capsules. If that isn't a factor, then the powder is the way to go.
I use this black seed oil extract powder with actual black seed oil to get an extra boost. I take it when I get sinus infections which I’ve been dealing with lately, it also helps with anxiety and possibly helps with bringing back you’re GABA A receptors after drugs have wrecked them. Either way, a great product to have in your cupboard for the general health. Taking this will not do anything negative in your body, if anything it will make you healthier. The capsules are dosed too low for my liking, yes they are convenient but it takes less than 5 seconds to pop 1/2 teaspoon into your mouth and swallow. I ordered black seed oil from The Blessed Seed and it was confiscated at customs, the only reason they would do this is because this product is considered a “miracle” health product that would benefit me greatly. They don’t want you to be healthy.

This product one of my personal favorites!
It tastes very bitter, but in sort of a natural and healthy way. It feels like an overal calm boost for immune system, mental clarity and focus, and relaxed mind/body connection. If you don't mind the bitter taste, I just measure it onto a spoonful of yoghurt because I haven't figured out how to put stuff in capsules easily just yet. I look forward to continuing to use this for general health going forward. I haven't used it long enough to report on its effects on sleep, but I feel it is relaxing for the body while slightly stimulating for the mind, so that bodes well for impact on sleep as well.
Not very strong effects, I should try sublingual next time and see if anything changes for stronger mood effects. I'll keep taking it because it has a lot of subtle, but good long-term benefits like fish oil. I think my mood is actually better though after some time, but didn't notice it because I thought Nigella Sativa would have acute effects. I think the skin benefits are strong, but hard to manage. My face is noticeably more flakier and dryer looking up close and get dandruff easier even though I never had those problems before taking it, I think it's because it speeds up skin growth. I still rate it high because of all the long-term benefits and it lasts a while and decently cheap per dose.
This product is excellent I bought it because I found out the blackseed oil that I was using only had less than one percent Thymoquuinone so for nootropics depot to have up to ten percent help so much with my shoulder pain I will definitely be ordering again but this time I’ll get capsules. Thanks Nootropics Depot.
Like the title says, great supp to relax (I'm using 10%) in the evening and wind down. It eases my pains and stress from the day. I tried oral administration for 2 weeks and then switch to sublingual. Sublingual had more pronounced effects but YMMV. I couldn't very it other effects.
This works well for me whenever I feel sick or have digestive issues. In my experience nigella needs to be cycled, so I mostly take it as needed. Works every time. I'm on my third jar now and it is a permanent part of my stack.
Been taking it every day, twice a day for a few weeks. Fewer negative thoughts. No reduction in effect despite taking it daily. Persistent flu/cold went away a couples after starting on this. Could be coincidence. Only negative is that it can keep me awake if I take it in the evening.
This stuff is amazing. Every black seed oil and extract fails in comparison. Great for anxiousness and pain. Gives a nice warm relaxing feeling but not necessarily sleepy which is nice. Tolerance develops quick as well. Only side effect was irritability and depressive feeling, but that's mostly with higher doses. Probably one of the most effective and potent Nootropics I've tried, it wasn't one of those where the effects are so subtle that's it's questionable it's even working. Overall great stuff.
Thus far I haven't noticed any effects. Was really hoping this would help with my anhedonnia and avolition. I'm 3 days in. Maybe it takes time to work. I'm on antipsychotics so this may be the reason why it's not working.
Definitely noticing some positive effects from nigella sativa. I mixed one can with 8 ounces of black seed oil, weighed it and divided the weight by 100 for my dose. Doesn't taste delicious "the oil" reminds me of oregano oil but i don't even mind. Im never one to complain about the taste of a product if what i take it for is health benefits. What i noticed from the first dose is that it makes me very chill. Like im a chill guy but this stuff makes me feel even more so. I am more social when i take it and conversion flows. I can be myself i guess even though i am actually introverted by nature. I felt that it suppressed my appetite if i take it before eating so i stopped because im not looking to lose weight. When i take it before sleep it feels like i sleep deep even though wake up an hour earlier. Also finding some energy boost from it. Ill see if i notice other things in the future because its only my second week taking it.
I thought I would try this - who am I to disagree with The Prophet Mohammed - and he was definitely right about this stuff. As a reviewer wrote below it just makes me feel better in every way possible. I feel more serene and it seems to have worked synergistically with Longvida Circumin and PEA (not phenylethylalimine, the PEA that ND sells) to make a chronic pain condition tolerable that formerly required heavy opioids. I like it enough to have just ordered the capsules as well for convenience.
I love this product as it has many great benefits. Best taken in the morning on empty stomach. Overall it just makes me feel much better in every way possible
This is so much more effective and easy to use than regular black seed oil. I never knew it could come in a powder form, and now I will never go back to oil!
Black Seed Oil (BSO) offers many health benefits, making it incredibly versatile for whatever health goals you have. I have used high quality BSO from other companies for many years but I can definitely say this version of it, as an extract powder, is my favorite. I prefer my supplements to be in bulk powder form & had never seen a BSO powder before. This powder also has the highest Thymoquinone content of any BSO product I have used. This will be a staple in my supplement stack.
