What people say about Black Seed Oil and anxiety
“Substances that helped along the way were saffron extract, black seed oil, bacopa, magnolia & rosmaric acid (probably my favourite).”
“Black seed yes. I'm taking capsules of both strengths. I was hoping it would help with exczema/skin health. But so far it's mainly good for immunity, anxiety. Good all rounder but not sure I'll get it again.”
“i've tried CBD oil, black seed oil and NAC to help with the glutamate / gaba imbalance but I can't say any of these have significantly made my symptoms better.”
“I started taking BSO a few days ago and I’m blown away, my anxiety, depression, muscle aches, etc. have all improved significantly.”
