Fenugreek
Fenulife®
FenuLife® is a patented galactomannan fiber extract made from fenugreek seeds standardized to 85% soluble fiber.
Key Functions & Health Benefits
Creates a raft that prevents stomach content from flowing back up.
How It Works
Natural galactomannans, standardised to 85% soluble fiber, form a raft within 2 minutes of contact with stomach contents. This raft is located at the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), preventing acidic content from flowing back into the oesophagus and inhibiting excessive acid production, providing symptomatic relief.
Clinical Evidences
Shantkriti, Srinivasan., Pavithra, Uthayasooriyan., Balasubramani, Govindasamy., Murugan, Athiappan. (2023). Extraction, purification and assessment of galactomannan from fenugreek seeds. Biomedicine Fenugreek seeds are rich in therapeutic compounds such as 4-hydroxy isoleucine, proteins, and galactomannan, an edible gum polysaccharide with notable foaming, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. These compounds collectively offer significant health benefits, particularly for digestive health. Galactomannan in fenugreek has a unique molecular structure, where each mannose molecule is substituted with a galactose unit, creating a 1:1 ratio of galactose to mannose. This structure sets it apart from other common sources of galactomannan, such as guar gum, which has a 1:2 ratio, and locust bean gum, which has a 1:4 ratio. Due to its distinctive composition, fenugreek galactomannan acts more quickly than other fibers. In the stomach, it binds with water to form a thick and viscous mass, which absorbs moisture and provides multiple benefits for digestive health. This mechanism helps regulate digestion, supports gut health, and relieves digestive discomfort effectively.
