Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) is a medicinal herb and a green leafy vegetable used all over the world. It is mostly grown in India, Africa, Egypt, Pakistan, and other parts of the world. Vitamins, minerals, proteins, alkaloids, flavonoids, fibers, gums, and volatile chemicals are all found in abundance in fenugreek. It's been employed as a preservative in foods including pickles, chips, and bakery goods. Fenugreek has anti-cancer, anti-obesity, cardiac protective, gastroprotective, antifungal – antimicrobial properties, cholesterol-lowering agent, anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, and helps in lowering blood sugar levels, improving sexual function, and galactogogue functions, among other therapeutic pharmacological effects. The purpose of this page is to examine the many investigations, papers, and publications that look into fenugreek's therapeutic pharmacological effects, health advantages, and chemical ingredients.
