Préparation et dosage

Nigella seeds: Consume 2 g/day (equal to 1 level teaspoon) given in two times (means 1/2 level teaspoon twice a day). Seeds must be crushed or well-chewed to increase their efficacy; it is also possible to consume them stir-fried, but you should avoid other modes of preparation (baked, cooked for a long time, etc.), as this may alter their hypoglycaemic properties.

Nigella oil: Consume 1 g/day of nigella oil (equal to 1/4 teaspoon), in the form of capsules or bulk.
