Organic black cumin oil
Black cumin oil: a natural jewel appreciated for thousands of years.
The oil from Nigella sativa, the black cumin, is known as the oil of the pharaohs. Nutty, herbaceous, peppery. Black cumin oil brings a very special touch not only in taste, but also in content. However, in order to extract the coveted traditional oil, it is necessary to get up early for the first time: Even before sunrise, the fruit capsules of the true black cumin (Nigella sativa), studded with oil seeds, are harvested to protect them from the moisture of the morning dew or fog.
The roots of the heat-loving black cumin plant can be found in the West Asian region. From the Bosphorus, Nigella sativa made its early foray into North Africa, Southern Europe, India and Pakistan, establishing itself in local cuisines as a spice, oil and in seed form. Soon the people of these regions also recognized the inner values of the velvety-black seeds and their cold-pressed oil, consumed the natural jewel specifically to accompany food and applied it for external care.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
