Fenugreek

Diabetes Management
A research review was conducted in 2016 evaluating the potential effect of fenugreek on hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes. While study authors found that the herbal medicine may have a significant impact on fasting blood glucose, HbA1c levels, and total cholesterol levels, they also noted that only ten studies were evaluated. They also noted that some studies were of poor quality.

Improved Cholesterol Levels

Relief From Menstrual Cramps
One of the more popular uses of fenugreek is for relief from pain during menstruation, also called dysmenorrhea
.
Improved Lactation
Another Cochrane review evaluated the possible effect that fenugreek (and other herbal or medicinal treatments) may have on milk production in women who are breastfeeding. Some early studies had suggested that fenugreek may provide a mild effect to promote milk production, especially in the first few days postpartum.
Increased Strength
One study published in 2010 investigated whether a fenugreek supplement may be able to improve upper and lower body strength and body composition in healthy men.
Results indicated that fenugreek supplementation had a significant impact on both upper- and lower-body strength and body composition in comparison to placebo with no clinical side effects.

Sexual Enhancement
One of the most popular uses of fenugreek is to enhance sexual function. There have been two studies (conducted by the same researchers) suggesting that taking 600 milligrams of a proprietary fenugreek seed extract may increase interest in sex in healthy younger women with a low sex drive. It may also improve sexual ability and interest in sex in older men that have started to lose interest and in healthy younger men.
