Can I combine taking the natural supplements Ginseng and Nigella for my blood sugar? I am not taking any medication.

Hello,

Taking two natural supplements that affect blood sugar can be risky. Be sure to do so with the understanding that a sudden drop in blood sugar levels is possible, and that it can be dangerous. Also, there is very little literature about interactions between natural health products.

I recommend that you talk to a professional and provide them with your blood glucose levels, not just your glycated hemoglobin, to see how much and at what time of day you can take Nigella (black cumin).

We look forward to seeing you,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
