Fenugreek and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia: Fact or Fiction

    TLDR Fenugreek seeds lack strong evidence for treating hair loss.
    This review evaluated the efficacy of fenugreek seeds in managing androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and found that, despite a few small studies suggesting potential benefits, there was no strong evidence to support its routine use for AGA. It highlighted the importance for trichologists to be aware of fenugreek's potential interactions with antiplatelet, antiarrhythmic, and anti-hypoglycemic drugs. Additionally, patients with a history of consuming fenugreek should be advised to discontinue its use 5 days before surgery.
