About





            

                
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds contain furostanol saponins that may inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity. A small number of clinical studies suggest fenugreek extract may support hair density and reduce self-reported hair thinning, though larger trials are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Furostanol saponins (e.g., protodioscin) inhibit 5-alpha-reductase; phytoestrogens may modulate hormonal balance; rich in protein and nicotinic acid for follicle nutrition.
