Someone suggested to me that I should be taking fenugreek to help regulate my blood sugar/insulin resistance, but many places are promoting it to boost testosterone! Does anyone know if it has the same effect in women as in men? I certainly don't want my testosterone any higher than it already is!

After looking at several websites, most of them agree that even though many 'bodybuilding' supplements claim that it raises testosterone, it doesn't raise LH. Most say that Fenugreek has a balancing quality and also lowers blood sugar. So, if you aren't on any medications currently for controlling your blood sugar, it would more than likely be safe to try out and see what happens. A couple of sites to check out are:

This site has a great directory of vitamins, herbal remedies, and botanical names so that you can look up and find out what each thing does. A few sites specifically for Fenugreek are:

Hope this helps!
