Fenugreek is well-known for improving sexual function as well as testosterone. The bioactive in fenugreek are known as saponins, which have been shown to be particularly beneficial for testosterone production. One randomized, double-blind trial, included 30 resistance-trained men that were given either 500mg of fenugreek seed extract, containing 50% fenuside saponins or placebo. The strength and hormone measures of these athletes were measured at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. The results showed a reduction in body fat and increased testosterone in the active fenugreek seed group. Fenugreek extracts positively reduces body fat, increased lean body mass, improved muscle strength and endurance. As well as accelerating the rate of glycogen resynthesis during post-exercise recovery. Fenugreek contains the bioactive furostanolic saponins, which are known to be anti-diabetic.

Fenugreek is a galactagogue which is commonly used by lactating mothers. One study aimed to investigate the effect of fenugreek on breast milk production and weight gain among infants in the first week of life. The mothers in the experimental group were administered 7.5g of fenugreek once daily, for the period of 7 days. The overall result of this study demonstrates that fenugreek was effective in enhancing breast milk production and therefore increased the weight of infants, particularly in the early days of life
