Methodology
Systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of RCTs reporting metabolic syndrome indices with fenugreek supplementation.
Key Findings
Fenugreek reduced fasting glucose, total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides; effects on blood pressure and HDL were not significant.
Conclusions
Fenugreek improves several metabolic syndrome components, mainly glycemic and lipid indices.
Limitations
Heterogeneous preparations and doses; many small trials at risk of bias.
Supplements Studied

Outcomes Measured
Fenugreek supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and improved lipid indices of metabolic syndrome.
