Fenugreek seeds contain a specific amino acid known as 4-hydroxy isoleucine that is able to stimulate the pancreas to generate insulin when blood sugar levels rise. By taking a supplement of fenugreek seeds, diabetics will find it easier to handle occasional spikes in the levels of glucose in their blood. Research has also indicated that fenugreek can lower cholesterol levels in diabetics, a property not found with non-diabetics.

Fenugreek seeds are known to contain substances that can inhibit digestion, and when taken with food can reduce the rate at which glucose is introduced into the bloodstream. This is an important property to diabetics, since it suggests that spikes in sugar levels can be controlled by taking a fenugreek seed supplement. Several tests on human subjects have indicated that fenugreek seeds regulate the majority of metabolic problems experienced by diabetics by reducing the amount of glucose in the blood and by improving glucose tolerance

Fenugreek seed extract is available in a number forms suitable for use as a supplement. Fenugreek offers a number of health benefits, and one of the more important of these is connected with the health of your heart. Fenugreek seed extract helps you maintain a healthy heart in two major ways: by lowering blood cholesterol and by preventing free radical oxidation of the low density lipids that help carry cholesterol around your bloodstream.

Cholesterol is not bad - in fact it is an essential raw material for the production of sex hormones such as testosterone and also a few other biochemical components involved in your metabolism. It is also used by your body to repair the wear and tear of your blood vessels throughout your life. Nevertheless, too much is not good for you, particularly when the LDL cholesterol is oxidized by the free radicals that are by-products of your metabolism and cellular respiration. These small molecules oxidize the lipids and deposit them on your internal artery walls, narrowing them and eventually blocking them leading to heart failure and strokes.

Fenugreek seeds prevent this oxidative stress, as it is known, by chemically reducing the free radicals and effectively neutralizing them. Fenugreek also contains choline and lecithin that reduce your overall blood cholesterol levels so there is less to oxidize and block up your arteries. A regular supplement of fenugreek seeds or their extract will protect you from heart disease and potential strokes by preventing some of the processes that lead to them.

As a dietary supplement, take 2 or 3 capsules two times a day with meals or a glass of water.
