Will heat exposure in shipping affect my Better Black Seed Oil?Updated a day ago
Thank you for reaching out!
Black seed oil's key compound, thymoquinone, can be heat-sensitive, so it's a smart thing to ask about. The good news is that degradation only happens at cooking-range temperatures with extended exposure, well above anything a package encounters on its way to you. The oil holds its potency even after weeks of continuous warmth, so a day or two in transit is well within a safe margin. Our softgels and sealed PET bottles add another layer of protection by keeping out the light and oxygen that matter most for this oil over time.
For the best long-term potency, we'd simply suggest storing it somewhere cool and out of direct light once it arrives. Your shipment reaching you a little warm is no cause for concern.
