Fenugreek | From Mummies to Modern Supplements | The Return of an Ancient Mood Booster
Fenugreek boosts mood, enhances motivation and supports your workout recovery. If we were giving superlatives, Fenugreek would certainly win the “team player” award! Many of us are likely familiar with this botanical, due to its incorporation into various foods, most notably curries, and imitation maple syrup. Fenugreek is also famously used for its fitness-boosting effects, with some claiming it enhances testosterone levels. Yet, the nootropic and mood-boosting effects of fenugreek remain relatively unexplored, although murmurs of these effects are sprinkled all over the web.
On this episode we dig deeper into these unique mood, cognition and fitness-enhancing effects, finally getting to the root of what this wonderful botanical is capable of! A big focus of this episode is on the bioactive compounds in fenugreek, specifically, trigonelline and protodioscin, two of the compounds we have standardized our fenugreek extract for. Trigonelline is a compound that is found in relatively high amounts in coffee, and appears to contribute to both the stimulating and mood-boosting effects of this invigorating elixir! It’s a compound we became intimately familiar with during our research for our take on a highly efficacious caffeine stack, which ended up materializing as DynaMAX. Although trigonelline never made it into DynaMAX, it’s a compound we kept in the back of our minds, waiting for a chance to explore it further. Turns out, fenugreek was that chance! Combining the dopamine-releasing properties of trigonelline, with the motivation, and confidence-enhancing properties of protodioscin, resulted in a really unique effects profile. Imagine Tribulus, but tuned down in terms of aggressive energy, and tuned up in terms of mood-brightening properties. Quite the winning combination in our books!
This month, your hosts Emiel and Erika dive into an exciting conversation and discuss:
Our new fenugreek extract and its standardized compounds, protodioscin and trigonelline
How fenugreek boosts focus and motivation
Why trigonelline is an important compound for mood in both fenugreek and coffee
Creating the ideal pre-workout and post-workout stack
The mechanisms for fenugreek’s metabolic health benefits
