id="Fenugreek.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Fenugreek is an herb prepared from the dried seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum which is used for its antioxidant and glucose- and cholesterol-lowering effects in the treatment of fever, vomiting, poor appetite, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Fenugreek has not been implicated in causing liver injury.</p></div><div id="Fenugreek.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Fenugreek is an herb extract prepared from the dried seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum (sicklefruit fenugreek), a plant belonging to the pea family (Fabaceae). It is native to India and northern Africa and is one of the oldest medicinal plants is continuous use. In Chinese medicine, fenugreek seeds were used as a tonic; in Indian medicine, as a stimulant to lactation; and, in many folk medicines as an aid to digestion and treatment of baldness. Investigation of its activity in animal models suggested that fenugreek extracts have antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic and hypoglycemic activities. Constituents of fenugreek extracts include dietary fibers, mucilages, steroid saponins, flavonoids, trigonelline, and volatile oils. The lipid- and glucose-lowering effects of fenugreek have been attributed to saponins. The benefits of fenugreek therapy in hypercholesterolemia and diabetes in humans have not been proven in rigorously designed prospective clinical trials. Nevertheless, fenugreek is widely used, often in combination with conventional therapies. The usual doses used to aid in the management of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia are variable, ranging from 2 to 100 grams daily taken in 2 or 3 divided doses either as capsules or as powder to prepare teas. Fenugreek preparations contain high levels of fiber, which may represent 50% of its constituents. Fenugreek is also used topically and in foods as a flavoring agent. Side effects of oral fenugreek are minor and include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and allergic reactions with facial edema, wheezing, dizziness and shock.</p></div><div id="Fenugreek.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Despite being widely used, fenugreek has not been implicated in cases of clinically apparent liver injury and, in prospective studies, has had no effect on serum enzyme levels. In vitro studies have demonstrated hepatoprotective activity of fenugreek extracts in several animal models. Because of the high fiber content, estrogenic and coumadin-like effects of fenugreek, it has a potential to cause herb-drug interactions particularly if taken in high doses with antiplatelet drugs and warfarin.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p><p>Other Names: Alholva, Bird’s Foot, Bockshornklee, Fenogreco, Greek Clover, Greek Hay, Hu Lu Ba, Methi, Trigonella, Woo Lu Bar.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/?report=reader">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a></p></div></div><div id="Fenugreek.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Fenugreek_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Fenugreek.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
