What the Label Data Shows

Black Seed Oil is a compact, 5-ingredient fat/fatty acid supplement from Approved Science, sold in softgel capsule form, cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD). These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, other, fat, non-nutrient/non-botanical, protein, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

With only 5 ingredients on the label, 5 of 5 fall outside the FDA's reference-intake system -- a tight formula built mostly from botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds without a set Daily Value benchmark, which is routine for a focused label like this one.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2024-11-22. An on-market listing means the product is currently sold in the United States; the DSLD catalogs the label as submitted but does not independently verify the claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
