McDowells Herbal Treatments - Fenugreek Ground

Fenugreek is a highly nutritious herb increasingly recognised in equine care for its potential to support healthy blood sugar regulation. Rich in alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, mucilage, protein, and essential vitamins A, B, and C, along with beneficial volatile oils, fenugreek seeds provide valuable nutritional support for horses. They are often used to encourage healthy weight gain, making them particularly helpful for underweight horses or those recovering from illness.

Research suggests that fenugreek may help enhance insulin activity and reduce sugar absorption in the digestive tract, supporting more stable blood glucose levels—an important factor for horses prone to metabolic imbalances or insulin resistance.
