Mitochondria are the energy-producing structures inside your cells- or as we know it, the “powerhouse of the cell.” Because cells make up every tissue in the body, from the brain and gut to skin and muscles, mitochondrial health plays a foundational role in how the entire body functions.

When mitochondrial function declines, cells become less efficient at producing and managing energy. Over time, this can contribute to:

• Lower energy levels

• Reduced metabolic efficiency

• Decreased stress resilience

• Increased inflammation

• Accelerated effects with aging and exhaustion

Thymoquinone, the primary active ingredient in Thymogenix, helps support how your cells make energy at the source. Instead of acting like a stimulant, Thymogenix supports your body’s natural energy production, helping cells work more efficiently and stay balanced.

“Standardized” thymoquinone means that our black cumin seed oil is intentionally produced to consistently deliver a specific, verified amount of one the active compound responsible for benefits, rather than allowing natural variation from batch to batch.

Why this matters:

• Thymoquinone is widely regarded as the primary bioactive compound responsible for many of black cumin seed oil’s researched effects.

• Many products may contain some thymoquinone, but the amount can vary dramatically.

• A standardized oil ensures predictable potency, consistency, and repeatable results, which is especially important for people using it as part of their daily routine.

In short: standardization separates therapeutic-grade formulations from commodity oils.

Not all black seed oils are created equal- and low quality choices, while they may save you a few dollars, directly affect stability, shelf life, efficacy, and how the oil behaves in your body.

Key things to look for:

• Declared thymoquinone content (rather than vague “black seed oil” labeling)

• Low free fatty acid (FFA) levels

• Controlled extraction methods (commonly cold-pressed)

• Stability-focused packaging, such as dark or opaque bottles

Red flags:

• Missing or absurdly high thymoquinone percentage

• High acidity or no disclosure of fatty acid levels

• Clear bottles exposed to light

• Missing quality metrics

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are a key quality marker in oils- and are one of the most overlooked quality factors with! They are a sign of careful sourcing, handling, and formulation. Unfortunately, many black seed oil products on the market have very high FFA levels.

When free fatty acid levels are too high, they:

• Reduce stability

• Interfere with the activity of thymoquinone

• Shift the oil from an antioxidant to a pro-oxidant environment
