Trade Lead Description:
Health Benefits of Fenugreek
The active constituents in fenugreek are alkaloids, lysine and L-tryptophan. It also contains steroidal saponins (diosgenin, yamogenin, tigogenin, and neotigogenin) and mucilaginous fiber which are believed to be responsible for many of the beneficial effects fenugreek exhibits.
The chemical compounds found in fenugreek have the ability to aid the digestive process. Consequently, when taken with meals it is believed that fenugreek is able to slow down the rate at which sugars are absorbed into the body, whereby regulating blood sugar levels. Additionally, studies indicate that 4-hydroxyisoleucine (an amino acid) found in fenugreek may induce or promote the production of insulin when blood sugar levels are elevated.
In studies of animals and humans with both diabetes and high cholesterol levels, fenugreek appeared to not only regulate blood sugar levels but also lower levels of harmful cholesterol. However, in studies of those who did not have diabetes, a similar effect was not reported.
