Reported Benefits
Black seed oil effects on lipid profiles and glucose in healthy volunteers
Not specified in source
Administration of Nigella sativa oil (5 mL/day) to healthy volunteers for 8 weeks induced significant decreases in fasting blood cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, glucose, and HbA1C levels. In healthy female volunteers, both crushed seeds and formulated oil caused significant reductions in prolactin, glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels.
