Fenugreek Extract

A natural herb seed extract that supports male vitality, healthy testosterone levels, and balanced blood sugar.

What it is

Fenugreek extract is made from the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum, a legume used in cooking and traditional wellness. It contains natural plant compounds called plant compounds (saponins) alongside soluble dietary fibre.

In His-Biotics Testo Boost, fenugreek is combined with zinc, herbs, and Velobiotics friendly bacteria to support vitality and wellbeing.

Also known as: Trigonella foenum-graecum, Fenugreek seed extract, Testofen

Key benefits

  • Supports healthy free testosterone levels and male vitality so you feel energised.
  • Helps maintain steady post-meal blood sugar levels thanks to natural seed fibre.
  • Supports strength and lean muscle tone when combined with regular exercise.
  • Traditionally used to support healthy digestion and appetite balance.

Amplified by probiotics

Fenugreek contains natural plant compounds that are inactive until good gut bacteria transform them. Friendly bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium break off natural sugars from these compounds, unlocking active plant nutrients your body can absorb. In return, fenugreek fibre acts as food for probiotic bacteria, helping them thrive. Probiotics also help keep gut inflammation low, supporting healthy hormone signals.

Typical dose

500–600 mg/day made to a consistent strength seed extract (≈50% plant compounds)

The evidence

Evidence: moderate

Several well-controlled trials of made to a consistent strength fenugreek seed extract (500–600 mg/day for 6–12 weeks) report improvements in libido, sexual-function scores and free testosterone in healthy men; large reviews of many studies of blood sugar trials shows modest reductions in fasting glucose. Effects are moderate and require consistent daily use. (Mansoori A 2020, Phytother Res) (Steels E 2011, Phytother Res) (Neelakantan N 2014, Nutr J)

Safety & who should check first

Fenugreek is well tolerated, though it may cause a mild maple-syrup body odour or slight gas. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist first if you take blood sugar or blood-thinning medications. Avoid during pregnancy, or if you have peanut or chickpea allergies.
