Now I've been supplementing it for a few weeks so I want to share everything I've learned about this product in this time. Most importantly I'm going to talk about the benefits, the effects I noticed and a few things you should be careful about. So if you're ready let's just begin. Now the black seed, scientifically known as Nigella Sativa, goes by many names. Black cumin, Roman coriander, black caraway and even fennel flower, all refer to the same thing. Now the black seed is native to Western Asia and Eastern Europe and that's exactly where I come from as you probably noticed from my accent. Now the black seed oil can of course be found in stores globally. Now what these seeds are is the product of a native shrub that produces fruits. Now black seed in its various forms has been known for its medicinal properties, inviting it into our big white world of supplements. Now a great fact about black seeds is that most of their benefits are strongly supported and backed with scientific evidence now. Rest assured this is a natural remedy you can trust. Now let's talk about its main benefits. On a side note have you ever experimented with black seed oil? If so let me know what you think about it below in the comment section. Now to start things off, the benefits that have been scientifically proven are abundant so there is a lot to talk about here. First off, black seed oil is rich in antioxidant content. This plant-based compound helps protect your body cells against damage and prevents inflammation and diseases from developing. Overall health and well-being, check. Then black seed oil can also help lower both your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It reduces your LDL and cholesterol levels, which means it can even naturally help you lose weight while you're taking it. Black seed oil can be consumed in liquid or capsule form, making it easier to incorporate into your diet. Weight loss and blood levels? Check. Now this one requires a little more research but there is evidence that black seed oil has the potential to combat neuroinflammation, which is inflammation in the brain. This could prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and certain cancers. So brain health and performance? Check. And last but not least, black seed oil can help calm skin conditions like acne, dry skin, psoriasis and similar. It is also a healthy option for your hair to strengthen it. So hair and skin health? Check. But not every black seed oil supplement is equally effective. In fact, many won't provide any benefits. And here is why. Now obviously, when you're buying the right black seed oil, the only content it should have is the oil extracted from the black seeds. It's the only ingredient you need and any additives that might be in it means it's not all-natural. So, instead of talking about ingredients, let's talk about what you can find in all-natural black seed oil. It has vitamin and mineral content and contains up to 9 essential amino acids. It has both unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. There are, however, different variations in black seed oil content. What this basically refers to is the extraction method which determines the levels of purity of the oil. As you may already know, oils are commonly extracted through three different methods, including steam distillation, cold compressed and solvent extraction. But the best method to extract black seed oil is slow, cold compressed. Why is that? Simply because the Nigella cetiva seed oil must retain its original components and the optimal method will preserve the active or volatile components the best. Let me explain how. Since this potent oil is a mix of different components with several chemical properties, any method using heat for extraction will likely cause the volatile compounds to evaporate. Even a fast, cold compressed can be damaging as it generates heat which will eventually reduce the quality of the oil. This makes slow, cold compression the ideal method for extraction for black seed oil. So among the different varieties, the strongest black seed oil will be 100% pure oil with absolutely no additives. This oil contains the highest value of volatile oil being around 4%. In many cases, it is prescribed to treat respiratory and chronic diseases. Then there is organic variety. Now organic black seed oil is a medium range oil with less volatile oil and it's less pungent as well. Now this oil is easy to consume and you can use it directly without a carrier oil. Oh and not to forget the key component of black seed oil is thymoquinone. This is where the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties come into play. Now as you can see, black seed oil has a lot to offer so I wanted to test it out for myself and see if I can experience the benefits too. And here is what I found.

Now I've been testing this supplement from Tricutra. They were nice enough to send me a bottle of black seed for this particular test. Now with this supplement you get 500mg of potent black seed oil extract per one liquid capsule. But this supplement also contains a few other compounds like vitamin E, like olive oil, beeswax and HBMC. Now I didn't have any particular expectations before trying it but I still wanted to see if anything happens. Now in just a few days I lost all my grey hairs, I lost 10kg of pure fat and my energy grew exponentially. Nah, just joking. To be honest I didn't really notice any short term effects while trying it out. But as I mentioned before you need to take it for a few months to really notice the benefits. Now this is quite a potent product especially if you want to boost your immunity. Also be smart about taking it. I'll talk about its safety soon but let's first mention the optimal dosage. And this is where things get a little bit blurry. So there is no standard dose for black seed oil. The best option is to consult your health professional. Now the correct daily dosage for you can range between 200mg to 2000mg. It all kind of depends on your purpose for taking black seed oil and how long you intend to take it. Now I didn't experience any side effects at 500mg daily but whether this is the optimal dosage it's hard to say.

Most studies on black seed oil are researched in the short term. There is no evidence of side effects during a 3 month span. However beyond this time frame there are chances of bloating and nausea. Now to learn more about the potential risks watch my video up here. Now how about its price? You can buy black seed oil from anywhere basically and you're looking at an average price of 20-30 dollars per 1 bottle. Now this product I've tried, this one from Triketra, costs about 23 dollars. But you can use my discount code below, you can find it in the description for an additional 10% discount. So what's my final verdict? Now looking at the research alone I can conclude that the benefits are plentiful. Black seeds have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Black seed oil is amazing for your health, skin and hair making it an all around health benefit. It can be bought in both capsule and liquid form and the benefits are backed by scientific research. Now the biggest drawback is that we don't know the long term effects of black seed oil. There could be potential detriments we don't know about simply because we haven't done the research on it yet. So for better measure always consult a health professional beforehand. Now my user experience tells me that this may be a great product but you won't really notice any short term effects. But if you care about your immunity I would definitely recommend trying it out. And if you're looking for a strong brain booster whose effect you'll definitely feel then watch my next video up here.
