Nature's Blends: cold-pressed black seed oil and natural remedies from the UK

Nature's Blends is a UK-based online retailer of natural health products. Its catalogue is built around black seed oil (Nigella sativa) sourced from Ethiopia and cold-pressed raw, which the company presents as its flagship product. The range extends to raw honey, shilajit, coconut oil, ashwagandha, vinegar and cupping supplies, all sold through its own e-commerce site.

Black seed oil at 2.5% thymoquinone

The company states that its Ethiopian black seed oil is tested to contain a minimum of 2.5% thymoquinone (TQ), the active compound it highlights as the differentiator from lower-potency alternatives on the UK market. The oil is described as raw, virgin and cold-pressed. It is sold in liquid form in 100 ml and 50 ml bottles, and in capsule form. A further product combines black seed oil with natural glucosamine capsules.

According to the product information, the capsules contain the same Ethiopian cold-pressed oil as the liquid range and are positioned for people who want to avoid the strong, peppery taste of the oil, prefer a pre-measured dose or need to take it while travelling.

Product range beyond black seed oil

Alongside black seed oil, the shop lists raw honey, shilajit, coconut oil, ashwagandha, vinegar and cupping products. The site organises these into a collection of best-selling natural supplements and wellness products, and also maintains a blog.

Quality and certification claims

Nature's Blends states that its products are lab-tested and certified, and that the black seed oil's thymoquinone content is verified by an independent laboratory. The company also indicates that its products are halal and that it holds food hygiene registration with Blackburn Council. These are claims made by the company on its own site.
