Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Fenugreek - 60 Tabs

Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Fenugreek is a traditional fenugreek seed powder combined with fenugreek extract rich in galactomannan fibers and 4-hydroxyisoleucine. Galactomannan is a mucilaginous fiber that may benefit the bowel and 4-hydroxyisoleucine is an amino acid derivative that assists the pancreas in production of insulin.

Key Points:

• Promotes healthy blood sugar metabolism
• Enhances natural insulin sensitivity in healthy people
• May assist in the transport of glucose to skeletal muscle
• Promotes lean muscle mass and aids anabolic recovery
• Reduces body fat potential

Fenugreek contain chemicals that slow down the time that food takes to go through the intestinal tract. As one result, sugars are absorbed from foods more slowly and blood sugar levels may not rise as high or fluctuate as much as usual. Fenugreek may further affect blood sugar levels by decreasing the activity of an enzyme that is involved in releasing stored sugar from the liver into the blood.

Also, fenugreek contains an amino acid called 4 hydroxyisoleucine, which appears to increase the body's production of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. For many individuals, higher insulin production decreases the amounts of sugar that stay in the blood In some studies of animals and humans with both diabetes and high cholesterol levels, fenugreek lowered cholesterol levels as well as blood sugar levels. However, no blood-sugar lowering effect was seen in non-diabetic animals. Similarly, individuals with normal cholesterol levels showed no significant reductions in cholesterol while taking fenugreek. Some evidence suggests that fenugreek may also have other medical uses. It may reduce the amounts of calcium oxalate in the kidneys. Calcium oxalate often contributes to kidney stones. In animal studies, fenugreek also appeared to lessen the chance of developing colon cancer by blocking the action of certain enzymes. It may have some ability to protect the liver against damage from alcohol and other chemicals, but much further research is needed to prove or disprove all these possible uses of fenugreek. Topically, the gelatinous texture of fenugreek seed may have some benefit for soothing skin that is irritated by eczema or other conditions. It has also been applied as a warm poultice to relieve muscle aches and gout pain. Fenugreek Extract Give your body the all-natural assistance to maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol balance with the herbal power of Fenugreek Extract. Although chefs know it best as a culinary herb, herbalists have long valued fenugreek for its numerous health benefits. Fenugreek is naturally rich in steroidal saponins that not only support healthy blood sugar metabolism, they also help promote a healthy lipid balance in the bloodstream for cardiovascular maintenance.
