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.

Proven effective : According to http://www.Drugs.Com/npp/fenugreek.Html a review of 5 human randomized trials show a 15-33% reduction in cholesterol & many animal studies also confirm this. Doses range from 5 grams to 2 oz.- see http://www.Ehow.Com/how_5724440_reduce-cholesterol-fenugreek.Html fenugreek seeds are quite safe.
