Fenugreek
Small signals for glycemic control. Free-testosterone claims are thin.
EFFECTIVE DOSE
500–600 mg/day of a standardized extract if used at all
HOW IT WORKS
Contains saponins; theorized aromatase modulation — weak evidence in humans.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
- Small blood-glucose signal
- Marginal libido effect in a couple of small trials
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
- Not a testosterone booster in trained men.
- Watch for interactions with diabetes medications.
SIDE EFFECTS
- Maple-syrup body odor at higher doses
