Article Synopsis
- The systematic review examined the effects of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) on glycemic index in adults, analyzing data from 30 randomized controlled trials.
- Results indicated significant reductions in fasting blood sugar (FBS) and hemoglobin A1c (HA1c) levels with N. sativa supplementation, but no impact on insulin levels or HOMA-IR.
- Further research is needed to establish optimal dosage and duration for effective N. sativa supplementation in improving glycemic markers.
Aims: Several meta-analyses have revealed that probiotics could lower blood pressure (BP), but the findings were inconsistent. In this regard, an umbrella meta-analysis was carried out to provide a more accurate estimate of the overall impacts of probiotics supplementation on BP.
Data Synthesis: We searched the following international databases till November 2021: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
