- Abstract: The excessive consumption test for the safety of black sesame extract (BSE） was conducted. Eleven healthy adults (male 6,female 5) were orally administered 5 tablets/day of BSE for 4 weeks. There were no abnormal changes in blood and urinary analysis. In addition, no serious adverse effects were observed. These results indicate that the excessive dose of BSE is safe for healthy adults.
