Black Seed 

Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) is a traditional herb that has been used for centuries to promote health and general well-being.

Also known as Black Cumin, Black Caraway, or the "Blessed Seed", Black Seed has a rich and diverse chemical composition containing the phytochemicals thymoquinone and cryatalline nigellone, antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium.

Over 500 peer-reviewed studies at international universities and countless journal articles have been published on this incredible herb, and many of Black Seed's components are still being discovered and researched.

Two studies, one in 90 women with obesity and the other in 72 adults with type 2 diabetes, found that taking 2–3 grams of black seed oil capsules per day for 8–12 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) and total cholesterol levels.

Another study in 90 people with high cholesterol levels observed that consuming 2 teaspoons (10 grams) of black seed oil after eating breakfast for 6 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
