My Fenugreek Experience
Original post in this thread

I added fenugreek to my stack 3 weeks ago at 1 capsule per day and I’ve gotta say there have been positives but more negatives for me.
As far as the positives go, I did notice a bit of a mood boost and also a lowering of my blood pressure into normal range of 120/80 (I usually hover around 130/90, even on my BP medicine). I have felt like I have had good, sustained energy throughout the day as well (no 2pm crash).
The negatives were surprising though. Fenugreek really lowered my sex drive a lot (I assume through some hormonal change), cause me to have erectile disfunction for the first time in my life as a 30yo male, and caused a good bit of acne, which I haven’t had much of since I was a teenager. Also, I smell strongly of maple syrup, which isn’t a negative but I just wanted to add that in.
Has anyone else had this kind of experience with Fenugreek or am I just an oddball?

I think that would be great. I personally didn’t have any GI issues but seems many do unfortunately.
Any ideas on why fenugreek would trash my libido? I am assuming hormone related.

Have you done any blood testing for testosterone or E2? It's hard to say without knowing where your levels are at.
