Fenugreek, who’s name means “ram’s horn clover”, is an herb that has been used by many cultures for its medicinal properties. It has been shown to be effective in treating everything from loss of appetite to digestive disorders to diabetes.

However, it is particularly noted for its ability to improve sexual performance in men.  Researchers are not entirely sure how it works, but it is thought to increase male hormones by releasing saponins.  Saponins are phytochemicals found in many plants that carry an abundance of health benefits.

Due to fenugreeks reputation for boosting testosterone it is now being included as the primary ingredient in many testosterone boosting supplements.  Many of these supplements are marketed primarily to men looking to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.  Naturally elevated testosterone levels promote high energy levels, heart health, weight control and increased muscle mass.
