The Effect of Blackseed Oil on Autoimmunity

A 2014 study looked at fish oil and blackseed oil together to my top three nutrients for autoimmunity in the treatment of vitiligo. Both led to a reduction in the vitiligo area scoring index or VASI, but the benefits of blackseed oil were more significant. The researchers on this paper speculated that thymaquinone or TQ may have been primarily responsible for the effect because TQ protects cells against oxidative damage induced by free radical generating pathologies.
