Fenugreek aids digestion

Fenugreek contains potent antioxidants that have beneficial effects on the liver and pancreas, making it useful in the treatment of diabetes, high cholesterol, and digestive disorders. Mucilages released from the herb keep the stomach from emptying quickly, with the result that glucose enters the bloodstream more slowly after a meal. In addition a amino acid present in fenugreek stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. ^{Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) Phyllis A. Balch}

Side Effects:

If you wish to use fenugreek to lower blood sugars, it is better to use the powder rather than the whole seed. The powder releases more vanadium as it is digested. Avoid fenugreek if you are allergic to chickpeas, and Fenugreek should not be taken medicinally when pregnant, however moderate use in food should be fine. ^{Mountain Rose Herbs (2008-06-22)}
