It is about black cumin, whose seeds have properties that can be beneficial for weight management and reducing obesity, according to Comments.ua.
Black cumin seed extract significantly reduces fat accumulation in cell models without causing toxic effects, according to a study published in the journal Food Science & Nutrition.
Researchers say that active substances in black cumin can inhibit the activity of genes responsible for the formation of body fat.
Promising natural remedy for weight management
The effects of black cumin were also tested in a clinical trial. Participants who took 5 grams of powder from such seeds daily for eight weeks experienced an improvement in their blood lipid profile.
Levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol and “bad” low-density lipoproteins decreased in volunteers after administration.
At the same time, the amount of lipoproteins “useful” high density increased. In the control group that did not receive the supplement, there were no significant changes.
The results obtained suggest that black cumin could be a promising natural remedy for weight management due to its combination of lipid-lowering and anti-adipogenic properties.
We remind you that the oil extracted from black cumin seeds has an immunomodulatory action and is beneficial in increasing the body's general immunity.
