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 T his is the first study to measure antioxidant vitamin levels in those with oral cancer. Doctors in this study theorized cancer develops through oxidative stress and inflammatory processes linked to metabolic disorders. Doctors measured CoQ10, beta-carotene, and metabolic factors in 194 people with oral cancer. More than half of participants had high blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipids, and abdominal obesity, regardless of the stage of their tumors. Nearly all—94 percent—were deficient in CoQ10, and 46 percent were deficient in beta-carotene. Those with higher levels of CoQ10 or beta-carotene were less likely to have abdominal obesity, elevated lipids, or metabolic syndrome. Doctors also found, as the cancer advanced, levels of antioxidant enzyme activity decreased, and levels of inflammatory markers increased. Discussing the findings, doctors said, “Since patients with oral cancer suffer from high oxidative stress and inflammation, supplementation with antioxidant vitamins such as ubiquinone (CoQ10) or beta- carotene could be beneficial.” Reference: BMC Cancer; Article No. 310, 2020 P eople can lose vision from several conditions affecting the retina of the eye, including loss of blood flow to the optic nerve. In this study, doctors gave 48 people with one of several retinal blood vessel diseases 100 mg of CoQ10 per day, then followed up for an average of 43 months. Using a standard measurement, called the Visual Field Index (VFI), doctors ranked annual changes in the percentage of the field of vision available to participants, with a score of 100 percent representing a perfect age- adjusted visual field. Overall, all participants who took CoQ10 improved in measurements of VFI at least 9.3 percent per year, and as much as 22 percent per year, depending on the blood vessel disease affecting the retina. VFI scores decreased when one participant discontinued CoQ10, and increased after resuming CoQ10.

Its interesting that the CoQ10 was given at 100 mg. I would have thought that a higher dose, probably 200 mg. was called for. Coq10 is available at Willner Chemists from many suppliers at dosages from 50 mg. all the way up to 400 mg.
