Friday Favorites: Fenugreek Benefits for Sexual Function, Painful Periods, and Milk Production

The hormonal benefits of fenugreek extend beyond the muscle-bulking testosterone boost. My other videos on fenugreek are Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-fenugreek-seeds/), Side Effect of Fenugreek Consumption (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/side-effect-of-fenugreek-consumption/), and The Benefits of Fenugreek for Preventing and Treating Diabetes (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-benefits-of-fenugreek-for-preventing-and-treating-diabetes/). CORRECTION: Thanks to the eagle eyes of our fact-checker, the dosing in the galactagogue study in the video was way off (due to confusion over per capsule or per diem dosing). So, it should be: “In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which breastfeeding women who took about a half teaspoon of both fenugreek and ground ginger, along with about a quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric every day, doubled their milk production within a month.” New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift.
