It Is Good for the Brain
Studies show [8] that thymoquinone present in black seed oil may help reduce neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation is the swelling of tissue in the brain. Research shows [9] that this is a problem associated with several brain diseases [10] like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The effect of black seed oil on neuroinflammation means it may help protect your brain from these diseases.
While in vitro and animal studies show promise, there is a paucity of research with human participants. A study in 40 healthy seniors [11] found that using 500 milligrams of black seed capsules twice daily for nine weeks led to great improvements in cognition, memory, and attention.
