Research
Over the past 40 years, extensive research has highlighted the potential health benefits of Black Cumin Seed. Findings are particularly promising in areas related to supporting the general functioning of the immune system, as well as contributing to the maintenance of brain and liver wellness (Ahmad et al., 2013).
The immune-supportive potential of Black Cumin Seed extract is believed to be due to its bioactive components. These components have been studied for their role in naturally supporting the body’s immune response, including a healthy inflammation response and support for respiratory wellness, by influencing the release of inflammatory mediators from human immune cells (such as T-lymphocyte and monocyte cells) and supporting bronchial health•.
