Nuba Black Seed Meal – 2.8kg

Black Cumin (Nigella sativa L.) is a powerhouse of valuable compounds, including fatty acids, proteins, alkaloids (such as nigellimine and nigellina — from which its Latin name is derived), saponins, and flavonoids (notably quercetin). However, the star ingredient that deserves special mention is thymoquinone, a bioactive compound whose healing effects have been scientifically validated.

While much of the focus is on the oil, the black cumin cake (the solid residue left after the oil is pressed) is also an excellent addition to horse nutrition. It contains a high concentration of beneficial ingredients, as many of the fats remain in the cake after the oil is extracted.

Black Cumin for Horses:

Black cumin offers numerous health benefits for horses, including:

• Allergies (such as eczema, summer dermatitis, itching, and cough): The compounds in black cumin help inhibit immunological autoaggressive reactions. Regular use of black cumin oil for 6-8 weeks has shown significant improvement in allergy symptoms.

• Digestive Disorders and Intestinal Flora Imbalances: Black cumin can help support gut health and restore balance to the intestinal microbiome.

• Peptic Ulcers: Black cumin promotes the secretion of mucin in the stomach lining, which helps protect and heal the gastric mucosa in cases of peptic ulcer disease.

• Muscle Mass Deficiency: Due to its favorable amino acid profile, black cumin supports muscle growth and helps maintain optimal muscle mass.

• Weakened Immunity: After 3-10 days of use, black cumin has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogens, thereby boosting the immune system.

• Liver Overload and Post-Drug Therapy: Black cumin aids in detoxifying the body by supporting liver function and eliminating harmful toxins.

• Sports Horses: It helps reduce oxidative stress, making it beneficial for performance horses under intense training or competition.

• Cancer: Black cumin has anti-carcinogenic properties, reducing the growth and size of tumors while stimulating the synthesis of cytokines to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells.

• Parasite Infestation: Black cumin creates an environment that is hostile to certain parasites, reducing their growth and proliferation.

• Underweight or Lean Horses: Due to its high fat and protein content, as well as a rich amino acid composition, black cumin can help horses gain healthy weight.

The Beneficial Effects of Black Cumin:

Black cumin has a wide range of health benefits, including:

• Antioxidant: Protects cells from oxidative damage.

• Anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation and promotes overall wellness.

• Antihistamine: Helps alleviate allergy symptoms by reducing histamine levels.

• Anti-carcinogenic: Inhibits the growth of cancer cells and prevents tumor development.

• Organoprotective: Protects vital organs from damage, especially during detoxification or post-medication recovery.

• Antidiabetic: Supports healthy blood sugar levels and insulin function.

• Immunomodulatory: Strengthens and regulates the immune system for better disease resistance.

• Antibacterial: Fights bacterial infections and promotes overall health.

• Antifungal: Helps combat fungal infections and supports skin health.

• Antiparasitic: Creates an environment that discourages the growth and spread of parasites.

Incorporating black cumin into your horse's diet can provide a natural, holistic approach to a wide variety of health issues, enhancing both overall vitality and specific treatments for chronic conditions.
