Roughly 15% of the fatty acid content is 8 saturated fatty acids and 80% of total fatty acid content is a combination of 18 different unsaturated fatty acids.The unsaturated fatty acids include linoleic acid (omega-6) and two important omega-3s, EPA and DHA, which are usually found in animal products like fatty fish. It also contains a form of omega-3 called eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), which is rarely found in food at all.Omega-6 and omega-3 are essential fatty acids because your body can€™t make them. They are the predominant Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) in our diet but we actually don€™t need a lot of them.The unusual combination of fatty acids in black seed oil is an antidote to oxidation. Along with the thymoquinone, the EPA, DHA, and ETA support the body against a host of degenerative/age-related diseases. Diseases which are often caused caused by chronic, low-level inflammation.ThymoquinoneIt is a powerful, natural antioxidant and can inhibit the formation of undesirable prostaglandins and free radicals. It provides anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce pain too. It also has a choleretic effect (stimulates the production of bile) and is therefore good for fat metabolism and detoxification.It can help alleviate symptoms of asthma through its broncho-dilating effect and can support the body by helping to inhibit the secretion of histamines.Production of Prostaglandin E1Black seed oil is comparable to Borage and Primrose oil in terms of essential fatty acid content. Both omega-3 and omega-6 are precursor molecules necessary for the production of prostaglandin E1. E1 is an important hormone-like substance that is one of the chemical regulators involved in inflammation, immune function and many other biological processes. Prostaglandin E1 is vital for regulating and harmonising the immune system.Saponin Melathin (Anti-Parasitic)Has strong cleaning properties and is used as a laxative and for destroying parasites. It is suitable for treating parasites in infants whereas most other herbal remedies would be too extreme. For example, wormwood, a common herbal treatment, is effective but unsuitable for the sensitive.Promotes the absorption of nutrients from food. Stimulates appetite, aids, digestion, promotes intestinal cleansing and facilitates bowel movements. It increases secretion and is considered mucolytic and expectorant, helping to quickly remove bronchial mucous.Vitamin B2The body needs it to use oxygen and for the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates.Thiamine (Vitamin B1)It is one of the B complex vitamins. It plays an important role in helping the body convert carbohydrates and fat into energy. It is required for normal growth and development. It helps to maintain proper functioning of the heart, nervous, and digestive systems.Niacin (Vitamin B3)Another B complex, essential for the breakdown of fats and protein. It maintains muscle tone along the digestive tract. It promotes the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver.B-CaroteneB-Carotene is converted by the liver into vitamin A, a vitamin known for its anti-oxidant and eye-supporting activity.ArginineArginine, or L-arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, is required for many metabolic processes. It can support the immune system, improve blood flow and sexual health. It also assists in stimulating the release of human growth hormone and insulin.Fifteen Amino Acids15 amino acids make up the protein content of the black seed, including all nine essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised within our body in enough quantities, so they are required from our diet.Suggested UseAdults: Take 1/2 a teaspoon daily for 1 week (may increase gradually to 3 teaspoons daily). Or rub externally on body for skin health and improvement to many known conditions such as €œcandida rash€ and other irritable rough skin issues.Children: 5 years + – half the adult dosageChildren under 5 and sensitive people administer in drops.Caution: Not to be taken during pregnancy.
