I started back on black seed oil due to gut issues - fungal, bacterial, ropeworm - and am up to 10 drops 2x day. Bottle is getting low and thinking of switching to the seeds.

I think some of you take this long term. However, my understanding is this is potent stuff that will alter the microbiome. I am thinking it may harm beneficial bacteria, etc, as well, similar to grapefruit seed extract (GSE). Is it harmful to GI health to take this long term? Do I need to take breaks from it? If so, on what schedule?

Looking for guidance here. Thx

hey faith. taking black seed oil is in no way destructive to your GI in fact you can take it daily for the rest of your life and not have any ill health effects from it.

i've been on it for months at a time and on it now doing about 30 drops 3x/day. i'd do more but i'm on the highest potency black seed oil from the best provider around Blessed Seed Oil. don't get it from anywhere else but here if you ask me.

Black seed oil is a very potent antifungal it'll knock candida out real quick I've had personal experiences with going too fast on this stuff. also a very good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

the reaction people seem to get from this is from killing off the candida which we all have in more than small quantities if you've ever been on long term abx.

here's a good research paper on its efficacy against candida. as you can see i'm a big fan.

Ive only used it month on/ week off ect for anti- tumor supplement.. Now ive been two months off.

As someone with several gut issues in the past, this did nothing negative to me that I could tell.

I have a question—how long does black seed oil keep for? I have some that's 6 months to a year old in the fridge.

almost all will say 2 years but you can use it longer. if you throw in fridge it extends the shelf life. just put in a dark place that isn't hot and you're good.

I wouldn't think 10 drops would do anything. Whenever I take it, I take a pretty good swig straight from the bottle. I am not sure if it helped me, but it certainly didn't hurt and I took lots of it daily for several months straight. A big swig in the morning and a big swig at night. Unfortunately, the crap is sooo expensive and I can only get a bottle to last a week or so. It gets cost restrictive.
