Apollo Black Seed Oil Gummies — 500 mg Nigella sativa oil per gummy, in a blackcurrant chew

Black seed (Nigella sativa), also known as black cumin or kalonji, is one of the oldest remedies in traditional medicine across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia — valued for so long that it earned the name "the seed of blessing." Each blackcurrant gummy delivers 500 mg of black seed oil, the same time-honoured ingredient, without its famously sharp, bitter taste.

Per gummy: Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) 500 mg. Vegan, sweetened with monk fruit, natural blackcurrant flavour, free from artificial additives.

How black seed oil works — thymoquinone

Almost everything black seed oil is studied for comes back to one compound: thymoquinone. It's a potent antioxidant, and antioxidant activity is the thread running through black seed's traditional uses — supporting the immune system, a healthy inflammatory response, and skin and respiratory health. Put simply, the oil is the delivery vehicle; thymoquinone is the active worth caring about. See Immunity and Antioxidants.

What actually matters — the thymoquinone question

This is the part most black seed products don't tell you. The milligrams of oil on the label say very little on their own, because the thymoquinone content of black seed oil varies enormously — independent testing of commercial oils has found anything from a trace (around 0.1%) up to roughly 2%. The reason is that thymoquinone is fragile: it's sensitive to heat, light and oxygen, so oil that's cold-pressed from fresh seeds and kept away from heat holds far more of it than mass-produced, heat-extracted oil sitting on a shelf. That's also why the taste is a clue — black seed oil's sharp, peppery bite comes from the same volatile fraction that carries its actives. A gummy is the easy, everyday way to take it; if you want a measured, verified potency, Apollo also offers a cold-pressed black seed oil standardised to 2% thymoquinone.

Why a gummy

Anyone who has taken black seed oil by the spoon knows the taste — sharp, peppery and lingering. A blackcurrant gummy is the reason many people finally stick with it day to day, delivering the 500 mg without the aftertaste.

Who it may suit

Anyone wanting daily antioxidant and immune support, or drawn to a traditional wholefood remedy for skin and respiratory wellbeing, who prefers a chew to the oil.
