Hormone-related claims evidence brief
Fenugreek is a seed extract used in some testosterone, libido, and body-composition supplements. Claims vary widely by extract type and often go beyond the evidence.
Some strength and body-composition studies are positive, but evidence is extract-specific and not strong enough for broad testosterone or muscle-gain claims.
Reviews: plausible testosterone/libido signal; extract-specific, not a broad muscle claim.
Study extracts differ by saponins, glycosides, and standardization. Generic seed powder does not inherit branded-extract claims.
Keep cardiometabolic, libido, testosterone, and training outcomes separate; do not treat all fenugreek products as interchangeable.

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
Send the disputed claim, source link, and why it changes the practical verdict. Corrections that materially affect the claim, dose, caveat, or rating are prioritized.
