Did You Know You Can Improve Your Cholesterol With A Little Black Seed?

This tiny black seed can safely improve your cholesterol.

Black cumin (Nigella sativa), also known simply as black seed, can safely

improve your cholesterol according to this just published study.

Black seed is a powerful herb with a multitude of uses. This new double-blind

study set out to confirm its benefits for cholesterol. It gave either no treatment or

5g of black seed powder a day for 8 weeks to people with borderline and high

cholesterol who were not being treated with medication.

The black seed was able to significantly lower total cholesterol, the heart harmful

LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while significantly increasing the heart healthy

HDL cholesterol: everything you would want a cholesterol treatment to do.

Actually, there’s one more thing you would want it to do: you would want it to do

all this safely. The black seed did that too. There were no adverse effects.

This study adds black seed to the list of herbs that can safely improve

cholesterol.
