With the rise of blood sugar problems comes the rise of the number of people on permanent treatment by the mainstream medical community. These people then have to suffer the side effects — like stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, weakness, muscle pain, headache and even upper respiratory infections — that come afterwards.
The good news is that there's a plant effective at knocking down blood sugar, but without the nasty side effects.
The pods of the Nigella sativa plant are small black seeds also called black cumin seeds. These contain thymoquinone (TQ), THQ, and thymol among other compounds, which act on our cells and helping them to maintain their potency and health.

The wonderful thing about cumin seeds is that they have general health benefits you wouldn't normally encounter in an herb. For example, researchers discovered, much to their surprise and my own when I read about it, that if you have extra fat around the middle, simply ingesting cumin seed extract will banish loss of libido (affected 84% of men), forgetfulness (89%), high appetite (73%), aches and soreness (74%), sleeplessness (54%), and loss of energy that comes with extra fat cells. A placebo induced no such changes.
Scientists at the Desert Medicine Research Center (Indian Council of Medical Research) set out to test the performance of the seeds against a spike in blood sugar.
Thymoquinone (TQ), induced what they called "antidiabetic activity." Specifically, it helped reduce appetite, glucose absorption in the intestines, blood glucose level, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, body weight and it simulates the secretion of insulin from beta-cells in the pancreas.
It also helped improve glucose tolerance as efficiently as any treatment from your doctor, while showing no significant adverse effects. It also stimulated partial regeneration of pancreatic beta-cells. Those are the cells in your pancreas that store and release insulin and produce hormones that slow the rate of sugar entering your bloodstream to better control your blood sugar levels.
In other words, the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant appear to help the body keep blood sugar completely normal.
Nigella sativa is also known by a number of other names you may recognize.
These include:
• Black cumin
• Black sesame
• Onion seed
• Black caraway
• Roman coriander
It's also simply referred to as "black seed" or in the case of the oil, "black seed oil" or "golden oil." That's because the oil itself has a golden color and has been used for health purposes since the time of the Pharaohs.

The source of the Nigella sativa oil I use is called Peak Golden Oil™. It gives you 2,000 mg of pure oil pressed from organic black Nigella Sativa seeds. That organic factor is something I always look for in any plant-based supplement, as you don't want to take the risk of polluting your body with the toxins that come from conventional farming methods. I suggest that you take the supplement with a meal to ensure maximum absorption.
