Indications:
Fenugreek seeds are used as a traditional spice in Asia and Europe. They have a slight maple taste and are often used in production of imitation maple flavorings. Fenugreek seeds contain a high proportion (40%) of a soluble fiber known as mucilage. This fiber forms a gelatinous structure (similar to guar gum) which may have effects on slowing the digestion and absorption of food from the intestine. Because fenugreek seeds contain estrogen-like saponins, blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides can be reduced (with no change in HDL) providing an important heart benefit.
1. Immune regulation
Studies have shown that fenugreek can help stimulate immune regulation and activate the phagocytic activity of macrophages.
2. Lower blood sugar
Fenugreek is an herbal medicine whose seeds are known to have wind-repellent, tonic and anti-diabetic properties, scientific studies have shown that they lower blood sugar and, in some doses, have anti-ulcer properties. Other studies have also shown that soluble dietary fiber can inhibit carbohydrate digestion and absorption and reduce postprandial blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
3. Improve dyslipidemia
Fenugreek is also a good way to lower cholesterol. Scientific studies have shown that fenugreek can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol.
4. Anti-tumor effect
Fenugreek seeds have anti-tumor effects. Studies have shown that extracts from fenugreek seeds can inhibit the growth of 70% tumor cells and increase the number of macrophages, which has obvious anti-inflammatory effects and may be used as anti-tumor drugs in the future.
