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.

Evidence For Conditions

Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, diarrhea)
  • Maple syrup odor in sweat and urine
  • Allergic reactions in individuals with peanut/chickpea allergies (cross-reactivity)
  • May increase appetite

Drug & Supplement Interactions

  • Diabetes medications (may enhance hypoglycemic effects)
  • Anticoagulants (fenugreek contains coumarin compounds)
  • Thyroid medications (fenugreek may affect thyroid hormone levels)
  • Oxytocin and uterine stimulants (traditionally used as galactagogue — consult provider if pregnant)
