Black Cumin Extract

Black cumin extract has been used in alternative medicine since the ancient Greeks, when it is was used for treatment of headaches and toothaches.

As many other so-called superfoods, the health enhancing effects of the extract have been associated with the wide range of health enhancing compounds found in the extract.

Research has found over one hundred different chemical constituents, including abundant sources of all the essential fatty acids from the extract.

In research, Black cumin has stimulated neutrophil activity. These are the short-lived immune cells that are normally found in bone marrow but called into action when there is a bacterial infection.

The spice extract has also been shown to modulate production of interleukins, similarly to some other well-known herbs, including ginseng, astragalus, mistletoe, garlic, and cat's claw.
