Hi, I am 28 years old male, recently I came across one article that fenugreek (methi) seeds are good for hair growth. And I understood it is good to consume the soaked seeds of it in the early morning with empty stomach. But, one of my relative told me that fenugreek seeds are not good to consume since it will leads to erectile dysfunction. And, since I am a regular to gym I consume the BCAA (brand chain of amino acids) to reduce the muscle pain and whether it will cause insomnia? So, please tell me doctor whether there will any issue if I have daily a glass of fenugreek seeds water in early morning with empty stomach?

Dear lybrateuser, - You can safely have fenugreek seed water in the morning as it has many health benefits - it doesn't cause erectile dysfunction & insomnia - as regards hair fenugreek leaf paste will be more effective as compared to fenugreek seed water.

Fenugreek are rich in vitamins such as thiamin, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins A, B6, and C, and are a rich storehouse of many minerals such as copper, potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, manganese, and magnesium. Fenugreek leaves are a rich source of vitamin K as well. Drinking soaked methi seeds (1 tsf) water in the early morning with empty stomach makes the hair thicker, stronger and brighter. It also aids in the weight loss, removing pimples, relief from lip cracks and etc. Though large doses should always be avoided.
