Fenugreek Seed, Lowering Blood Sugar Cholesterol, Improving Metabolism
Traditionally used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an herb with thousands of years of documented health benefits. Also used to flavor many dishes in Indian cuisine, fenugreek is used as a cooking spice, giving food a nutty flavor profile while adding nutritional value with healthy vitamins and minerals.
Just one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds provides three grams of fiber, three grams of protein, and 20 percent of iron’s daily recommended value. Often found in powder or seed form, fenugreek can be easily added to your daily dietary routine.
What Are the Health Benefits of Fenugreek?Fenugreek has many indications for supporting better health in both human and animal studies. Lowering blood sugar and cholesterol, improving metabolism, and aiding in digestion and labor induction are just a few of the health benefits fenugreek may have.
1. Fenugreek May Lower Blood SugarOne study found that the addition of 15 grams of powdered fenugreek seed soaked in water significantly lowered glucose levels of non-insulin-dependent diabetics (NIDDM) after eating. Insulin levels decreased after the study participants consumed fenugreek powder.
Fenugreek has also helped to support more balanced fasting blood sugar levels in diabetics. An additional study found that type 1 diabetics who took 50 grams of fenugreek seed powder for ten days twice a day at lunch and dinner had lower total and LDL cholesterol levels with improved blood sugar levels.
2. Fenugreek May Lower CholesterolThere is evidence that fenugreek may lower cholesterol levels. Doses of 2.5 grams given twice a day for three months significantly decreased total cholesterol and triglycerides for patients with both NIDDM and coronary artery disease (CAD). The same dose significantly lowered both postprandial and fasting blood glucose levels.
Another study found Type-1 Diabetics that took 50 grams of fenugreek powder twice a day for ten days had lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and lower total cholesterol.
3. Fenugreek May Improve Digestive HealthFenugreek studies have revealed that this ancient herb may have antiulcer properties. Those with ethanol-induced gastric ulcers got treated with a fenugreek supplement. The gel extract made from fenugreek seeds showed significant ulcer protective effects.
These protective properties got attributed to fenugreek’s anti-secretory action plus the rise in the antioxidant potential of the stomach lining which lowered injury to the mucus membrane. This study also determined that the fenugreek seed gel was more effective than omeprazole, a pharmaceutical medication, at preventing the formation of stomach lesions.
