07 May 2019 --- Israel-based TriNutra has developed the first cold-pressed Nigella sativa oil – black cumin seed – standardized to 3 percent thymoquinone, its main active phytochemical compound. ThymoQuin 3% has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which may promote cardiovascular and respiratory health and regulate blood-sugar levels, Morris Zelkha, CEO of TriNutra tells NutritionInsight. The company, which specializes in the R&D of natural nutritional supplements, spent several years developing a Nigella sativa breeding program to yield a high-concentration of thymoquinone varieties with up to five times more thymoquinone content.
