“High thymoquinone content.”
The Supplement Facts panel declares no thymoquinone amount or percentage. Whatever the oil contains, the label does not commit to it.

MAJU markets its black seed oil on thymoquinone strength and a light, drinkable taste. The panel we read supports the second claim and not the first: 5 g of cold-pressed black cumin seed oil per teaspoon, 45 servings per 8 fl oz, with GMP, third-party tested, vegan, gluten-free, paleo and made-in-USA marks, and no thymoquinone amount or percentage anywhere on it. At around $37 it is the most expensive liquid on the list.
How we built the SAC Product Score™ — 7.4/10
Thymoquinone Disclosure & Dose30%6/10
No thymoquinone amount or percentage on the panel; the high-TQ claim lives in the listing, not on the label. A teaspoon is 5 g of oil.
Extraction & Freshness20%8.4/10
Cold-pressed oil in a plastic bottle; unrefined is not printed.
Purity & Testing20%8.8/10
GMP and third-party-tested marks on the panel, the most complete quality row among the liquids; no organic seal.
Form & Dosing Accuracy15%8/10
A teaspoon of liquid with a lighter taste than most, which helps compliance.
Value15%6.6/10
About $0.82 per serving and $0.16 per gram of oil, the most expensive liquid here.

Marketing claims vs. reality
Verified
“Third-party tested, GMP.”
Both marks are printed on the panel, which is more than most liquids here manage.
Verified
“Light taste.”
The front panel states it and the oil is noticeably milder than the unrefined competitors; the trade-off is that a lighter taste can indicate a lower thymoquinone fraction.
What our test actually found
01The marketing and the panel disagree
MAJU's listing is built around thymoquinone potency. The label is silent on it. We score the label, and on the label this is an undeclared oil with good manufacturing marks.
02You pay a premium for seals, not for strength
GMP and third-party testing are worth having. They are not worth a third more per teaspoon than Amazing Herbs, which declares 48 mg thymoquinone and costs less.
Pros & cons, no sugar-coating
Pros
- GMP and third-party-tested marks on the panel
- Milder taste than most raw oils
- Vegan, gluten-free and paleo marks
- Turkish-grown seed, made in USA
Cons
- No thymoquinone declared despite the marketing
- Most expensive liquid on the list
- Plastic bottle, not organic
Well made, well marked, over-priced for what the label commits to
If the testing marks are what you buy on, MAJU is the liquid with the most of them. If you buy on thymoquinone, as the brand asks you to, the panel gives you nothing to hold it to. Amazing Herbs does, for less.
