Furostanol glycosides isolated from fenugreek (Fenu-FG) appear to impart anabolic activity in male rats, according to a study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research.

Gencor Nutrients’ Testofen Fenugreek extract was used in this study, titled “Effect of Furostanol Glycosides from Trigonella foenum-graecum on the Reproductive System of Male Albino Rats.”

The rats were treated with testosterone (10 mg/kg) or Fenu-FG (10 and 35 mg/kg) once daily for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, blood was withdrawn, serum testosterone and BUN were measured. Animals were killed and reproductive organs were excised and weighed. Fenu-FG (35 mg/kg p.o.) showed anabolic activity without androgenic activity. For further information: www.gencorpacific.com
