Niellane – Nigella (Black Cumin) & Vitamin E Capsules

Black seed oil is a divisive issue: bottles and capsules. Our choice is clear. For daily use, capsules win.

Why? Nigella sativa oil oxidizes quickly when exposed to air. Its peppery and bitter taste puts many people off. Capsules solve both problems at once. Still hesitating between the two forms? Our guide compares black seed oil and capsules.

Niellane is this oil in its most stable form. An Egyptian oil, cold-pressed, standardized to 0,95% thymoquinone. Nothing else.

A cold, solvent-free extraction

Industrial oils are processed through chemical solvents. Not ours. Niellane is extracted using simple mechanical pressure, at low temperature.

This gentle process preserves a "living" oil. Its fatty acids and volatile compounds remain intact, without denaturation. The seeds themselves come from Egypt, the benchmark terroir for nigella.

0,95% thymoquinone, guaranteed in every batch

Thymoquinone is what gives black cumin its value. It is its rare active compound, the one that researchers are studying the most.

Here's the problem: in bulk oils, its content varies from one harvest to the next. Niellane eliminates this variability. Each batch is analyzed and then standardized to 0,95% thymoquinone. Same dose, capsule after capsule.

Vitamin E: the double antioxidant shield

We add natural vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol). It plays two roles at once.

First, it protects the oil from going rancid inside the capsule. Second, it helps protect your cells against oxidative stress. This action is recognized by the EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority.

Nigella, the "blessed seed" since antiquity

Nigella ( Nigella sativa ) has beautiful nicknames: "blessed seed" ( Habbatul Baraka ) or "black cumin".

Its history commands respect. Nigella oil was found in Tutankhamun's tomb, a testament to its importance in the lives of the pharaohs. In the Middle East, ancient texts mention it as a source of support for the body against daily stresses. Niellane extends this legacy, in a modern, pure, and standardized version.

FAQ – Niellane

Why capsules rather than bottled oil?

Black seed oil oxidizes very quickly. The capsule isolates it from the air and preserves its freshness. However, its taste remains peppery and bitter in a bottle. The capsule spares you this inconvenience, without losing any of its benefits.

What does "standardized to 0,95% thymoquinone" mean?

Thymoquinone is the main active compound in black cumin. Standardization ensures that each capsule contains the same amount. In contrast, the composition of a typical cooking oil varies from harvest to harvest.

Are there any side effects?

At the recommended doses, Niellane is well tolerated by adults. Some people experience mild digestive upset at the start of treatment. If this happens, reduce the dose to one capsule per day. If you are undergoing heavy medical treatment, consult your doctor before starting.
