The species, source and extraction method all deserve a closer look. Explore the choices behind each oil in our capsules.

Origanum vulgare · leaf essential oil
Wild-grown oregano from the Mediterranean.
Wild-grown
Our oregano grows wild in its Mediterranean environment, without applied pesticides. It is gathered from wild-growing plants rather than cultivated as a farm crop.
Carvacrol levels also depend on the plant’s genetics, growing conditions and harvest. Wild-grown alone does not guarantee a higher percentage. That’s why we pair the sourcing story with constituent testing.
Unadulterated
Our oregano essential oil retains its natural mix of constituents. We do not add isolated carvacrol to boost the headline percentage.
Carvacrol is one part of a wider oil profile. Keeping that profile together is our formulation preference; a single percentage cannot describe the whole oil.
Standardisation can be used legitimately for consistency. The useful question is how it was achieved, and whether anything was added, removed or substituted.
About botanical standardisation ↗
Species
We use Origanum vulgare, selected for an oil profile rich in naturally occurring carvacrol with a low thymol level.
The name “oregano” can refer to different plants, and even the same species can produce different constituent profiles. The botanical name identifies the plant; the batch analysis tells you more about the actual oil.
We consider thymol as part of that full profile, alongside the amount of oil in each capsule and the labelled dose.

Nigella sativa · fixed seed oil
Cold-pressed black seed oil from Central Anatolia.
Cold-pressed
Our Nigella sativa seeds are mechanically cold-pressed to release their oil, with minimal heat exposure.
We choose this approach to help retain the oil’s naturally occurring thymoquinone and wider oil profile. Cold pressing describes the extraction method; the constituent report shows what is actually present.
Unadulterated
We use black seed oil with its naturally occurring mix of compounds, without adding isolated thymoquinone to increase the percentage.
Thymoquinone is one component of the oil, alongside fatty acids and other naturally occurring constituents. Our preference is to preserve that wider profile.
If a product is standardised, ask how. A higher number alone doesn’t tell you whether the oil was selected, blended, concentrated or fortified, or how well the finished product works.
Species
Our black seed oil comes from the seeds of Nigella sativa grown in Central Anatolia.
“Black seed” is a common name. The botanical name and plant part tell you exactly which ingredient is used. Knowing the source and reading the batch documentation helps you make a more informed comparison.

04 / A few useful questions
Ask every brand.
Including us.
You should be able to understand what the product contains and what its supporting documents cover.
Are the percentages for the finished capsules?
The percentages shown here relate to the oregano oil and black seed oil master batches. These master batches are what are used in each bottle!
Why are there two reports?
There are two separate ingredient master batches: one for oregano oil and one for black seed oil. The oregano document supports the oregano constituent result; the black seed document supports the black seed constituent result.
Is the biggest number the whole story?
A useful comparison also includes the botanical species, ingredient amount, serving size and what the test sample actually was. Check those details before comparing headline numbers.
How do the documents relate to my bottle?
Contact our team with the batch number printed on your bottle and ask how the ingredient documentation relates to it. You can email support@solutions4health.com.au.
