It acts as a muscle relaxant by targeting the nervous system, specifically the spinal cord, to reduce muscle stiffness and spasms
Key areas of investigation include: Gastrointestinal : Demonstrated protection against NSAID-induced ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease models, and esophageal damage in multiple animal studies Musculoskeletal : Accelerated healing of transected Achilles tendons, quadriceps muscles, and medial collateral ligaments in rat models Neurological : Neuroprotective effects in models of traumatic brain injury, nerve crush injury, and dopaminergic system damage Organ protection : Hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and nephroprotective effects demonstrated in various toxicity models The primary limitation is that all evidence comes from animal models
Neuroprotective effects of thymoquinone by the modulation of ER stress and apoptotic pathway in in vitro model of excitotoxicity
This dual action allows to eliminate toxins, retained fluids and subcutaneous fats, reducing cellulite formation and improving the overall appearance of the skin
