Fenugreek is a nutritious herb rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids and sterols. [1] Its leaves, seeds, and sprouts have been an important part of traditional medicines in many cultures across the world. Modern scientific studies also vouch for fenugreek’s effectiveness in combating diabetes and promoting lactation in breastfeeding mothers. [2]
Where Does Fenugreek Extract Come From?
The fenugreek extract in Morpheme Remedies Fenugreek 500mg comes from the seeds of fenugreek plant, which also goes by its botanical name, Trigonella foenum-graecum. This plant is native to India, North Africa, and Mediterranean countries. It can grow up to three feet tall. When in blossom, the plant is lush with leaves and pods. The pods contain yellow-brown aromatic seeds. These seeds are processed in GMP certified facilities to obtain the extract that is the essential ingredient of Morpheme Remedies Fenugreek 500mg.
Benefits Of Morpheme Remedies Fenugreek 500mg
The health benefits of fenugreek come from three best-characterized bioactive compounds in it. They are Diosgenin, 4-Hydroxyisoleucine, and soluble dietary fiber.
Beneficial Spice for Diabetics
Blood sugar (or glycemia) is the presence of excess glucose in the blood. Glucose is like a fuel for body cells, but it needs insulin to enter the cells. Lack of insulin causes excess glucose (sugar) in the blood, leading to blood sugar. Fenugreek is scientifically proven to help regulate fasting blood glucose. A meta-analysis of 10 trial studies found that “fenugreek significantly changed blood glucose levels”. [4] The analysis also found that the extracted seed powder from fenugreek “decreased postprandial (after a meal) glucose levels” as well. These studies point towards the efficacy of fenugreek extract against blood sugar or diabetes.
Fenugreek Promotes Lactation In Breastfeeding Mothers
Fenugreek is a recommended supplement for women’s health. It is particularly beneficial in post-natal days for breastfeeding mothers as it encourages lactation or breast milk production. [7] A galactagogue is a drug or food that enhances the production or flow of mother’s milk. Fenugreek’s galactagogue property has been validated in a study conducted on 66 mother-infant pairs. The mothers that were given the galactagogue herbal tea containing fenugreek showed significantly higher breast milk production than those getting a placebo. Not just this, even the infants regained their birth weight earlier than those in placebo group. [8] Echoing the same results is another study conducted on 75 women over a period of two weeks. The result of the study showed that fenugreek herbal tea was “useful for enhancing breast milk production” in the early days after childbirth. [9]
Fenugreek Helps Reduce Heartburn
Fenugreek has traditionally been used to improve digestive function and studies show that it can help reduce heartburn. Heartburn, often experienced after meals, is a burning sensation in the chest which is caused due to stomach acid. A pilot study conducted on people with frequent heartburn shows that a fenugreek fiber product taken half an hour before meals over a two-week period “diminished heartburn severity.” [10]
