Marketing Claims Vs. Reality
1,300 mg black seed oil per serving.
Printed on the front label, but the Supplement Facts panel is not shown in the listing, so the serving size behind that figure is unverified.
Lab verified.
The front carries a lab-verified mark, but with no panel or certificate visible there is nothing to verify it against.
100% pure virgin unrefined cold pressed.
Printed on the front; consistent with the category, but the ingredient line that would confirm 'nothing else' is on the panel we cannot see.
What Our Test Actually Found
A listing without a panel is a listing we cannot fully score
Our method starts from the Supplement Facts. Zhou's gallery has none, so serving size, thymoquinone and excipients are unknown. The score is low because the information is missing, not because we found a problem.
The vegetarian niche is real
Both other capsules here are gelatin. If you need a plant-based capsule, Zhou is the only choice on this list, and the front-label claims about pressing and purity are the right ones.
Full analysis: all pros & cons (6), buy if / skip if

- Cold-pressed, unrefined virgin oil
- Lab-verified and Non-GMO marks on the front
- No Supplement Facts panel visible in the listing
- Serving size and thymoquinone unverified
- Highest cost per gram of oil here
- You need a vegan or vegetarian capsule
- You want cold-pressed, unrefined oil in a capsule
- You are comfortable buying without seeing the panel
- You want to see the Supplement Facts before you buy
- You want thymoquinone declared
- You want the cheapest capsule; Horbaach and Bio Nutrition cost less
Every other product on this list let us read its Supplement Facts. Zhou's listing does not show one, so the serving size, the thymoquinone content and the other ingredients are unknown to us. What the front promises is good: cold-pressed unrefined oil, veggie capsules, lab-verified. What we can score is limited, and the score reflects that.
Zhou's black seed oil is the vegetarian option here: 1,300 mg of 100 percent pure, virgin, unrefined, cold-pressed oil per serving in veggie capsules, 60 capsules described as a one-month supply, lab-verified, vegan and Non-GMO on the front. That is all we can confirm, because the Amazon gallery contains no Supplement Facts panel. We read the front label and inferred a two-capsule serving from the month's supply; nothing else is verified.
The vegan capsule, scored on an unread panel
We rank what we can read, and Zhou shows us only the front. If you need a vegetarian capsule it is your option; check the panel on the bottle when it arrives, and let us know what it says. Until then Bio Nutrition, with a declared 9.6 mg thymoquinone, is the capsule to beat.
If This Doesn’t Fit — Try These
01Amazing Herbs Black Seed Oil
Thymoquinone is why black seed oil works, and this is the one liquid that tells you how much you are getting.
02Nature's Way Organic Black Seed Oil
If organic certification is a must, this is the black seed oil to buy: standardised thymoquinone, a fatty-acid breakdown and a USDA seal on one panel.
03Bio Nutrition Softgels
A declared thymoquinone amount, the exact trial dose and no taste, for about thirty-three cents a day.
Quick Answers
How many Zhou capsules are in a serving?
The listing shows no Supplement Facts panel, so we do not know. The front says 60 capsules and a one-month supply, which implies two a day; treat that as an inference.
Does Zhou black seed oil declare thymoquinone?
Not anywhere we could see. The front label lists 1,300 mg of oil, cold-pressed and unrefined; a thymoquinone figure, if it exists, would be on the panel the listing does not show.
