That stuff is so cheap that might be an interesting plan. Personally I've done 2-3g of 50% Fenugreek Powder (Testofen) every day, and it gave me some good libido boost.

Good luck with that

That NOW products is 100 capsules at 500mg each for a total of 50g for $3.50. That equates to $0.07/g

Fenugreek Powder 50% (100 grams) By: NutraPlanet

The bulk NP is standardized for 50% and is $0.25/g.

Makes me wonder what the % the NOW product is if it so cheap.

I believe it's just bulk fenugreek seed, whereas the 50% is a concentrated extract for Testofen .

From their site
"

Testofen is a natural solution for promoting Testosterone levels and healthy libido and immune functions.

Fenugreek contains Protodioscin, Pseudo Protodioscin, Gracillin, Protogracillin, Diosgenin, Dioscin and many other saponins and sapogenins. Many of these other saponins are not identified yet.

All the above compounds are well known for promoting Testosterone and healthy Libido Functions. There is enough published data on them.

There is a huge amount of history, studies and references which have shown without doubt that in addition to qualities like healthy sugar support, lipid support, lactation support etc., Fenugreek also promotes healthy libido and testosterone functions. The libido function happens both for women and men and is well recorded.

A lot of these saponins exist as saponin glycosides. Fenuside is a set of potent saponin glycosides unique to us which we have standardised, to give maximum benefits to users. We have done repeated studies and confirmed it's libido promoting properties. In addition to Testosterone support, it also acts like Testosterone by binding to the Testosterone receptor sites and creating Testosterone like activity. So it's activity is two fold. Testosterone is not just like turning on a tap wherein you fill as much of Testosterone as you want. The body has a balancing mechanism and each human body has it's own threshold for basal Testosterone levels. Testofen™ helps promote healthy Testosterone levels. In addition it acts like Testosterone and promotes libido and muscle mass.

Testofen™ has shown remarkable results in rat studies, showing intracarvenous pressure increase leading to healthy erectile functions.

Testofen™ has demonstrated exc ellen t results in animal studies for promoting healthy testosterone and Libido and Muscle Mass.

Testofen™ has demonstrated the following in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled human clinical study of 60 subjects

Promoted healthy free Testosterone levels in the active group of subjects by 98%

Promoted healthy muscle mass

Helped regulate BUN [ Blood Urea Nitrogen ] levels in the active group of participants, signifying regulation in protein catabolism

thanks
i thought kinda the same< i just figured that i could buy more of NOW foods product and take it longer for a smooth longer lasting behind the senes effect
and besides i dont really want cap all of the powder

[B5150]

You do realize that the seed powder is not the same as the 50% extract of Saponins and will likely not produce much if at all besides some insulin management?
