Fungreek

Were you looking for information about
 Fenugreek? Fungreek is a common misspelling of fenugreek.
 
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), a type of herbal supplement, is claimed to have several medicinal benefits, such as treating high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar levels. This supplement contains several compounds that may help stimulate the secretion of insulin, slow down the digestive tract, and thin the blood. However, there is no scientific evidence suggesting that fenugreek is effective for any use. Because fenugreek may not be safe for everyone, make sure to talk to your healthcare provider before taking this supplement.
