Fenugreek Extract

Fenugreek is a clover-like herb native to the 

Mediterranean region, southern Europe, and 

western Asia. Its seeds, which smell and taste 

like maple syrup, have been used in cooking 

and as medicine. Fenugreek is used as an 

ingredient in spice blends and a flavoring 

agent in foods, beverages, and tobacco. 

Fenugreek extracts are also used in soaps and 

cosmetics. In North Africa, Asia, and southern 

Europe, fenugreek was traditionally used for 

diabetes and to increase milk supply in women 

who were breastfeeding. Today, fenugreek is 

promoted as a dietary supplement for 

diabetes, menstrual cramps, and other 

conditions and to stimulate milk production 

during breastfeeding.
