Accepted Answer

No proof effective: Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/mtm/fenugreek.Html. There is no proof that fenugreek is effective at lowering cholesterol. More importantly, there is no 3rd party oversight during its manufacture here in the states where sellers are allowed to say/promise just about anything in order to sell their product (w/o proof of safety or effectiveness). Also check out http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/fenugreek.

Question 5

how does the use of fenugreek seeds reduce diabetic levels?

Accepted Answer

OF COURSE NOT!: Why would you take anything that you don't know what it is, don't know what it's supposed to do for you, don't know how to judge if it's helping and don't know what harm it might do or how it could interact with your medication? Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet. Stick with what your doctor prescribes and that only. It won't help your blood sugar at all.

Accepted Answer

Perhaps, Some: Per: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/2194788 & http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/1186885, some improvement may occur. However, you may notice that these were small, short trials & fall far short of clinical standards routinely required in phase 3 clinical trials for agents, which if they work well enough vs. Downsides, may result in fda approval & not all fda approved products turn out great.

Three times a day: Remember that fenugreek capsules are essentially the crushed up herb, so there is not an exact mg dose.  But in general we recommend two capsules three times daily to increase your milk supply.  Try it in a greek salad too!

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No one knows!: Fenugreek is used for many conditions, but so far, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.

It is also used for conditions that affect heart health such as “hardening of the arteries”  no hard data!
