Fenugreek
Trigonella Foenumgraecum
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) is a herb traditionally used to enhance libido and masculinity as well as to alleviate blood sugar metabolism problems like diabetes. Fenugreek was also demonstrated to be the number one preferred flavor in horses in a study conducted, and is added to supplements and feeds to stimulate appetite. This herb contains a soluble fiber known as mucilage which may slow the digestion and absorption of food from the intestine. Fenugreek may reduce blood sugar and support healthy metabolic function in insulin resistant horses.
Possible side effects of fenugreek when taken by mouth include gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Fenugreek can cause irritation when applied to the skin.
