R47.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Fenugreek Seeds contain the dried seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum, a plant belonging to the Fabaceae family with a long history of culinary and traditional herbal use.
Fenugreek Seeds have a distinctive warm, slightly bitter and nutty flavour and are widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern and North African cooking. The seeds may be used whole, toasted, soaked or ground depending on the preparation.
Traditionally, Fenugreek has been used as a digestive and nutritive tonic, particularly to support appetite and general digestive wellness.
Fenugreek has also attracted interest for metabolic wellness, including support for healthy glucose and lipid metabolism. These applications should be viewed as supportive and do not mean that Fenugreek treats diabetes or high cholesterol.
The seeds naturally contain galactomannan-rich soluble fibre, steroidal saponins, flavonoids and the amino acid derivative 4-hydroxyisoleucine.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Fenugreek Seeds?
Fenugreek combines culinary versatility with traditional digestive, nutritive and metabolic applications.
Its seeds contain substantial amounts of soluble fibre, particularly galactomannans, together with naturally occurring saponins and other phytochemicals.
Fenugreek is also traditionally associated with breastfeeding and milk production, although evidence for this use is variable and it should not automatically be considered appropriate for every breastfeeding mother. Professional guidance is recommended before using medicinal amounts for lactation support.

Fenugreek may lower blood glucose. Consult a healthcare practitioner before medicinal use if you have diabetes or take insulin or glucose-lowering medication.

The high fibre content may cause gas, bloating, diarrhoea or other digestive discomfort, particularly in larger quantities.
