In your experience what is the most potent ND product and what effects did it have for you?

Blessed Seed is what he is referring to. And it's what I take also. NDs extract is potent but expensive and if BS's BSO is even 1/4 as potent as it says it is I'm getting still more Thymoquinone than the equivalent with NDs product.

How are you calculating that? They don't even standardize to thymoquinone, and I only found one instance on their site making the claim that their most potent oil they carry contains 3.52% thymoquinone. Our lowest standardization is 5%, then we also have the 10%. I'll go buy some of all their stuff right now to run through the lab to see what is actually in there. Also, their extra strong one that made the claim of 3.52% thymoquinone is $32.59 for a 100ml bottle. If you take a half teaspoon that is only 40 doses. That's $0.81 per dose. Our 5% is $19.99 for a 60ct bottle. That's $0.33 per dose. Ours is more potent and cheaper...
Their % claims on all their bottles are for the volatile oil, not thymoquinone. So their extra strong one contains 6.3% of volatile oil. The volatile oil of Nigella sativa seeds contains around 28% thymoquinone on average. So if you go by the claims they are actually making on their bottles, the strongest one they have should have around 1.76% thymoquinone. Their original strength should have about 0.42% thymoquinone. Those are in line with other oils we have tested. I will buy all their stuff to see what we see in the lab, though. However, there is no way any of their products are more potent than our 10%. I would bet money on it.
