We recognized the potential of this herb long ago and were sure to include in TestoFuel.<\/p>\n<p>Having numerous positive effects on the body, Fenugreek is a great addition for\u00a0your testosterone levels as it helps regulate blood sugar metabolism. This keeps blood glucose and insulin levels low which allows testosterone levels\u00a0to rise to their optimum levels.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop there, clinical tests have shown Fenugreek to have the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Raises Testosterone<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Boosts Libido<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cuts Fat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotes Free Testosterone<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a strong anti-oxidant that can help improve overall health, and give your body the lift it needs to raise testosterone.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally used in Indian cooking, there are more than a few good reasons why you should be adding this herb to your diet.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you should be supplementing Fenugreek<\/h2>\n<p>Unless you regularly dine on Asian cuisine, the chances of you getting a lot of Fenugreek in your diet is minimal. Plus many of the dishes that uses it like curry can be high in fat and salt contents.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to keep a healthy diet and still ensure your reaping the benefits from fenugreek, we recommend supplementing it. There have been numerous clinical tests that prove its benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing that Fenugreek is good for is regulating blood glucose, which leads to lower insulin levels [1]. With lower levels of insulin, your Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) also drops &#8211; a protein that binds to free testosterone and strips it of all anabolic potency.<\/p>\n<p>With fewer SHBG proteins in the blood stream, your free testosterone increases, allowing you to enjoy more of the male hormone to help out your lifting goals.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will it help you get big, there may be evidence that fenugreek can get you cut too. A study performed on college age athletes that supplemented Fenugreek showed a decrease in body fat, without affecting the subjects&#8217; overall weights [2].<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, regular doses of Fenugreek also has also been proven to help improve\u00a0libido &#8211; which can really liven up how you do things in the bedroom\u00a0(<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21312304\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a><\/strong>).<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fenugreek-testosterone.jpg\" alt=\"fenugreek-testosterone\" width=\"550\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fenugreek-testosterone.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fenugreek-testosterone-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fenugreek-testosterone-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The best source of Fenugreek<\/h2>\n<p>Without indulging in regular Indian cuisine, it can be difficult to get enough Fenugreek in your diet to fully benefit from its effects.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure you&#8217;re not losing out, we&#8217;ve added 100mg of the traditional herb to the daily contents of TestoFuel &#8211; this just adds another component to the long list of proven nutrients used in our T-Booster that will boost your testosterone levels and help improve your gains.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/ingredients\/\">You can see the full list of what goes into TestoFuel right here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>References<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[1]\u00a0Abdel-Barry JA, Abdel-Hassan IA, Jawad AM, Al-Hakiem MH.
