NATURE'S ANSWER FENUGREEK SEED 90 GEL CAPS Promotes Digestive Health An annual plant, Fenugreek Seeds have been used fro centuries as a culinary spice and their extracts as flavorings. Fenugreek Seeds have a long history of folklore use as a food soothing to the stomach. Whole or ground fenugreek (foenum-graecum is Latin for 'Greek hay') is traditional in Mediterranean and Indian cooking, found in most Indian curries and chutneys. A favourite Indian dish is 'methi aloo' or pan-fried potatoes flavoured with fenugreek. It is also a basic Indian pickling spice. Fenugreek is also sprouted and used in salads, providing an excellent source of Vitamin E. Fenugreek's steroidal saponins account for many of its beneficial effects, particularly the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and synthesis. The seeds are rich in dietary fiber, which may be the main reason they can lower blood sugar and cholersterol levels. This remarkable property has been confirmed in more than one modern study. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Fenugreek seed for 'Internal: Loss of appetite.
