| Effect | Decrease |
| Trial Design | Randomized trial |
| Trial Length | 1-6 months |
| Number of Subjects | 71 |

Supplementation of 1-3g nigella sativa seeds (no placebo group used) noted that the 2g dosage, over the course of three months, was associated with significant reductions in blood glucose, HbA1c (1.52%), total cholesterol (11.1-15.2%), triglycerides (17.4-22.2%). While the HDL:LDL ratio increased, this was due to a decrease in LDL-C as HDL-C was unaffected.
