BOOSTD Black Seed Oil UK — Ancient Remedy, Modern Purity
BOOSTD Nutrition Black Seed Oil UK is a pure cold-pressed Nigella Sativa oil from the seeds of the Nigella Sativa plant. Used for over 2,000 years across Islamic medicine, Ayurveda, and traditional healing systems, black seed oil is one of the most researched natural remedies in history. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said it is “a cure for everything except death” — a testament to its enduring significance across cultures and centuries.
The active compound in black seed oil is thymoquinone (TQ), which modern research has examined extensively for its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. BOOSTD Black Seed Oil is cold-pressed to preserve the full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, independently tested for Thymoquinone content, and presented in a 100ml glass bottle.
This is not a trend product. Black seed oil has earned its place in traditional medicine through thousands of years of use and is increasingly examined by modern researchers. BOOSTD sources only from suppliers who meet our standards for purity, cold-pressing, and independent testing.
Why Thymoquinone Percentage Matters
Not all black seed oils are equal. The quality and potency of black seed oil is determined primarily by its Thymoquinone (TQ) content — the compound responsible for the majority of its studied properties. Many black seed oils on the market contain between 0.5% and 1.5% TQ. BOOSTD Black Seed Oil has been independently verified at 2.55% Thymoquinone by Eurofins Consumer Product Testing GmbH — one of the world’s most recognised independent analytical laboratories.
This result was achieved through HPLC testing — High Performance Liquid Chromatography — the industry standard method for measuring compound concentration in oils and supplements. The certificate of analysis is available to view and download below.
What Black Seed Oil May Support

Product Questions
What is black seed oil?
Black seed oil is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the Nigella Sativa plant, native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. It has been used in Islamic medicine, Ayurveda, and traditional healing systems for over 2,000 years. Its primary active compound is thymoquinone, which modern research has examined for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. Research on black seed oil is available via the National Institutes of Health research database.
What is Thymoquinone and why does the percentage matter?
Thymoquinone (TQ) is the primary active compound in black seed oil, most extensively examined in modern research for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. The higher the TQ percentage, the more potent the oil. Many black seed oils on the market contain between 0.5% and 1.5% TQ. BOOSTD Black Seed Oil has been independently verified at 2.55% TQ by Eurofins Consumer Product Testing GmbH — tested using HPLC, the industry standard analytical method.
How do I use BOOSTD Black Seed Oil?
Take 1 teaspoon (5ml) daily, either directly or mixed into food, juice, or a smoothie. Can also be applied topically to skin or hair. Best taken consistently — traditional use emphasises daily practice for cumulative benefit. Start with half a teaspoon if you are new to black seed oil to assess tolerance.

BOOSTD Black Seed Oil is for adults seeking natural daily support for immunity, digestion, skin, hair, and inflammation balance. It is particularly suited to those drawn to traditional remedies with a long history of use. Suitable for daily use as a food supplement.
Who should not take black seed oil?
Pregnant individuals should avoid black seed oil as it may stimulate uterine contractions. Those on blood thinning medication or diabetes medication should consult a healthcare provider before use.
