Macerat 14 sweet wormwood in black cumin oil 200ml

Oil macerate of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), in 100% cold-pressed black cumin oil (Nigella sativa). Dry matter represents 20% of the macerate by volume, 1:5 by volume.

Sweet wormwood, or its dried leaves on the inside of the stem, where the most artemisinin is found, are immersed in cold-pressed black cumin oil for six weeks, which "binds" or macerates their properties. Black cumin oil combines the effects of sweet wormwood and black cumin in the best way, because black cumin is the only oil that releases essential oil, such as thymoquinone, when cold pressed.

This macerate has arguably the highest concentration of artemisinin compared to other preparations, as much as 100 mg in one Macerat 14 bottle (200 ml) or 6.17 g of extremely purified dry leaf of sweet wormwood with 1.7-1.9% artemisinin (common plants have about 0.3-0.5%). Gluten free.

In addition to artemisinin, sweet wormwood also contains other substances such as carvacrol and quercetin.

Macerat 14 – Matičnjak's original product designed in 2015 by phytotherapist and apitherapist Mr. Iva Bačlija .

The properties of Matičnjak macerate come from the combined action of several components that have been selected based on many years of experience in making herbal preparations. When making macerate, the principle is adopted in which the whole is more important than the component parts.

What science says about black cumin

A plant that ancient peoples say " heals everything except death ".

• The premise of the research is that black cumin increases the activity and number of T-lymphocytes and NK cells that form a natural defense mechanism against viruses, bacteria and fungi (1,2,3,4,5,6).

• With its multiple nutritional and phytochemical compounds, black cumin oil becomes one of the better ingredients for balancing and supporting innate and acquired immune function ( 7,8,9).

What science says about sweet wormwood

It is traditionally used in Chinese medicine for various purposes.

• This medicinal plant is best known for treating malaria (10), but it is also used to reduce fever and swelling (10). However, recent studies also point to the potential of artemisinin and related compounds from sweet wormwood, commonly called artemisinins, in fighting viral infections, inflammation and certain types of mutated cells and formations(11).

• Initial studies indicate positive effects of artemisinin in combating SARS-CoV-2 infection or symptoms associated with COVID-19 and clinical studies under the supervision of the WHO on the potential of artemisinin in the fight against COVID-19 are currently ongoing (11).
