Black seed oil capsule Aliksir now available in Bangladesh

Punava Limited, a subsidiary of pharmaceutical company Renata Limited, has launched the black seed oil capsule Aliksir recently. The launching event was held at Asgar Ali Hospital in Dhaka.

The capsule was officially launched by Chief Executive Officer of the hospital Professor Dr Jabrul SM Haque. Present on the occasion were Rinat Rizvi, Additional Manager Renata Limited and officials of Purnava Limited.

Dr Jabrul SM Haque and Rinat Rizvi both spoke highly of the health benefits of black seed oil.

Several research studies have been done about the black cumin properties (mainly on these active components: thymoquinone, dithymoquinone and thymol). There is increasing interest in learning more about its effects on prevention and treatment of different diseases.

Whole or ground black cumin seeds are often used as a spice.

Black cumin oil contains more than a hundred active principles (iron, phosphor, enzymes, carotene, vitamin E, etc.), but notably nigelline (bitter principle, stimulating for the digestive and intestinal systems) as well as nigellone (bronchodilator and with an action similar to an antihistaminic drug).

Additional Manager of Renata Limited, Rinat Rizvi said, 'Black seed oil is highly popular due to its health benefits. Unfortunately, it has some characteristic side effects (flatulence, heartburn, stomach upset, belching etc.) if taken raw. To overcome these unpleasant effects, we have developed enteric coated soft gel capsule which is a unique formulation worldwide. To prove the efficacy of this unique brand Aliksir, we have run a human clinical trial and it was proven successful.'

Several specialist doctors of Asgar Ali Hospital were also present at the event. They also spoke about the health benefits of black cumin oil. The said, it reduces bad cholesterol and increases high-density lipoprotein, control blood pressure, improve joint health, controls blood sugar level in diabetes and improves coughing, wheezing and lung function in people with asthma.
