Fenugreek is supportive in many conditions such as Atherosclerosis, Constipation, Diabetes, High cholesterol and Hypertriglyceridaemia (High Triglycerides). Many of Fenugreek\'s beneficial activity arise from it\'s active constituents, the steroidal saponins. They inhibit cholesterol absorption and synthesis. Fenugreek seeds are also rich in dietary fibre, and this may explain it\'s ability to lower the blood sugar levels in diabetes.
