The Efficacy of Fenugreek Supplementation on Men's Health
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Aging, Testosterone Deficiency
In brief
1. The problem: There is limited research on the use of herbal supplements in general, and fenugreek specifically, to improve male health, particularly to increase testosterone levels. As well, no located studies have examined the effects of fenugreek supplementation on healthy men's health-related quality of life, anxiety levels, and body composition. 2. Relevant research examined the effects of fenugreek supplementation with healthy men aged between 43 and 70 years of age. The researchers found that both total serum testosterone and free testosterone increased compared to placebo after 12 weeks of active treatment. The researchers concluded that fenugreek supplementation was a safe and effective treatment for reducing symptoms of possible androgen deficiency, improves sexual function and increases serum testosterone in healthy middle-aged to older men. Another study found that fenugreek supplementation improved aging male symptoms and testosterone levels remained in a normal range in healthy men aged 25 to 45 years. 3. The importance of this study: The importance of this study is to help determine if fenugreek supplementation affects testosterone levels, body composition, health-related quality of life, anxiety, and aging symptoms in healthy men aged 21 - 45 years.
