Fenugreek helps stimulate milk production in lactating women. Research has shown it can increase milk production within 24 to 72 hours of consumption. It can also stimulate uterine contractions and induce labor, therefore it is not recommended during pregnancy. The mucilage in Fenugreek seeds helps soothe the gastrointestinal tract by coating the lining of the stomach and intestines. 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 Studies Show Curcumin Reduced Muscle Damage & Soreness H eavy exercise can damage muscle and delay recovery. In this study, 20 healthy young men took a placebo or 800 mg of maritime pine extract per day, for 14 days before, and two days after, an exercise test designed to damage muscle. The test involved lower body exertion until the men reached maximum oxygen capacity exhaustion. Before and after the exercise, doctors measured levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a compound that increases when fatty acids in the body oxidize. For up to 48 hours after the exercise test, MDA levels increased for the placebo group and decreased significantly for those taking maritime pine extract. Reference: Journal of Dietary Supplements; 2019, 1578847, Published Online Exercise: Bounce-Back P rior studies found curcumin reduced oxidative stress and inflammation after exercise. Doctors wanted to test its effect on muscle damage and soreness. In this study, 19 men took a placebo or 1,500 mg of curcumin, which contained 69 mg of curcuminoids, per day, for 28 days. Before and after taking curcumin, the men performed an eccentric muscle-damaging protocol that contracted muscle while extending under load. Although there were no differences in signs of oxidative stress and inflammation after taking curcumin, doctors did find a 31.4 percent decrease in levels of an enzyme that signals muscle damage, called creatine kinase, compared to levels in the placebo group. Muscle soreness was also 14.2 percent lower for curcumin compared to placebo. Discussing the findings, doctors said curcumin reduced muscle damage and perceived soreness while allowing the natural inflammatory response that follows exercise.
