Black Seed Oil

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.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with subjects having mild hypertension found that those taking black seed supplement (100-200 mg twice daily) had systolic and diastolic blood pressure decrease in a dose-dependent manner after eight weeks, with significant declines in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Administration of Nigella sativa seeds (two spoons/day) to hyperlipidemic patients for 4 weeks significantly increased HDL-cholesterol and decreased body weight. Administration of 2 g/day for 2 weeks decreased blood glucose and cholesterol levels in healthy volunteers.

Research demonstrates that black seed oil provides multifaceted benefits for immune health by inhibiting excessive nitric oxide production and targeting T cells to improve immune responses, with documented effects on both innate and acquired immune function.

Meta-analysis found that Nigella sativa oil supplementation helped support immune health against seasonal challenges in adult participants and helped maintain healthy C-reactive protein levels, with participants experiencing significantly increased total and plasma antioxidant capacity.

A 2021 meta-analysis of four randomized controlled studies focused on black seed supplements for asthma management found that through anti-inflammatory benefits, the supplements appeared to help asthma subjects improve lung function and respiratory markers.
