What can black seed cumin extract do for you?

Well, you should probably ask someone who lives in the Middle East. It comes from there. An ancient Arab proverb calls it the "medicine for every disease except death". And in the pyramid tombs in Egypt, archaeologists discovered black cumin seeds. Only things needed in the afterlife would be buried with the kings.

Actually, you may know black cumin already. It comes from the plant nigella sativa, which has many names:

• fennel flower
• black caraway
• nutmeg flower
• Roman coriander
• black onion seed

Any of those sound familiar?

The flower of this plant is a beautiful pale blue and white...if you ever saw a field of this flower, you would remember it. Also, black cumin seed is used as a spice in Middle Eastern ground meat dishes.

Health Benefits of Cumin

Folklore exalts it as a cure-all. But as we all know, bcaa on Earth can do that. However, this herb is remarkably effective in combating auto-immune disorders. It's especially helpful with asthma and allergies. Middle Eastern people also use it to treat bronchitis.

Cumin Seed Nutrients - Is There Magic Inside?

No, no magic. Just a whole slew of essential nutrients...herbalists say there are over 100 and that's just the ones they know about. Let's list a few:

myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, protein, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, folic acid, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorous

That's a whole bunch of goodness. No wonder black cumin has been used for ages.

How Can You Get This Wonderful Herb?

I recommend getting it through a multivitamin. Any multivitamin worth anything will contain black cumin seed. It's essential.

Why a multivitamin?

Well, do you really want to take a separate pill for each individual nutrient? You'll be natural dmae-bitartrate a handful of pills every morning. Ugh. And it won't even be as effective as taking a multivitamin. Multivitamins are formulated so that each nutrient is fully absorbed by your body. Look for one that contains herbs in the standardized extract form, which is the most potent.

Do that you'll be sure to get maximum black seed cumin extract benefits.
