This makes it helpful for a variety of digestive disorders including indigestion, constipation, and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach). According to Nutrition Focus, “Fenugreek seeds contain alkaloids (mainly trigonelline) and protein high in lysine and L-tryptophan. Its steroidal saponins (diosgenin, yamogenin, tigogenin, and neotigogenin) and mucilaginous fiber are thought to account for many of the beneficial effects of fenugreek. The steroidal saponins are thought to inhibit cholesterol absorption and synthesis, while the fiber may help lower blood sugar levels. One human study found that fenugreek can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels in people with moderate atherosclerosis and non-insulin- dependent (type 2) diabetes. Preliminary and double-blind trials have found that fenugreek helps improve blood sugar control in patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) and non- insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes. Double-blind trials have shown that fenugreek lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, This has also been found in a controlled clinical trial with diabetic patients with elevated cholesterol. Generally, fenugreek does not lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels. Fenugreek is commonly used as a food, spice and source of dietary fiber throughout the world.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements I n celiac disease, for those with a genetic predisposition, consuming gluten damages the small, fingerlike projections (villi) that line the intestinal wall, and that are responsible for absorbing nutrients into the body, eventually leading to nutritional deficiencies and often retarding growth. There is no treatment available other than observing a strictly gluten-free diet. Researchers have recently looked at the possible role of certain nutrients–Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Probiotics–in alleviating this condition. This first study followed 102 children, aged 9 to 13, weighing between 36 and 50 pounds, about half of whom had celiac disease. Doctors measured levels of vitamin A and found 33 percent of kids with celiac disease were deficient compared to none of the healthy children. For vitamin D, 61.5 percent of the celiac kids were deficient compared to 4 percent for healthy kids, and nearly all, 92.3 percent, of the celiac kids had insufficient levels of vitamin D compared to 18 percent of the healthy kids. Reference: BMC Pediatrics; April, 2018, Published Online Am I the only one, by the way, who reads about studies like this, and cannot help but think about those “nobody needs vitamins” articles that appear regularly in the press and TV? - Don Goldberg The second study looked at the role of probiotic immune support. In order to detect celiac disease, doctors measure levels of an autoimmune antibody called tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTGA). In this study, 78 children with a genetic predisposition to celiac disease took a placebo or the probiotics L. plantarum plus L. paracasei. After six months, doctors found lower levels of tTGA in the probiotics group, while tTGA levels increased for placebo. Discussing the findings, doctors said the probiotics had a "surprisingly consistent" effect of suppressing celiac autoimmunity and gluten intolerance, and that probiotics appear to support the immune response and may delay the onset in children genetically predisposed to celiac disease.
