Fenugreek Seed Products

Using Herbal and Superfood powders on a daily basis is simple, easy and can be really delicious. The simplest way is to rehydrate the powder in a little filtered water to make a shot, this can easily be prepared once, twice or three times per day if you are taking the herbs therapeutically. However sometimes the herbs can be bitter so the botanical powders can be added to a superfood smoothie instead of just water. The smoothie can be made with a base of nut milk, seed milk or non-dairy milk such as rice milk. Alternatively the main body of the smoothie can be created with fruit or vegetable juices. 

Additional superfood and herb powders can be added to fortify the smoothie with extra beneficial properties. The powders are largely dissolvable and can be scooped in and then blended, shaken or stirred until fully mixed with the liquid. Any true Superfood smoothie disciple would advise that the list of possibilities is endless with the goal to feel great and potentially replace a meal with this glass of super goodness.

Manufacture Process

When the Fenugreek plant has reached full maturity and the seed pods have started to go brown and harden, the plant can then be harvested. After harvest the plants are screened and identified before the seed is separated from the pods. The seed then goes through a mechanical vibration machine to remove any dust particles and other pollutants. The clean seed can then be milled into a fine powder and is made ready for testing. Only the very best powder makes it into Indigo Herbs Fenugreek Herbal Powder. All Fenugreek Powder batches are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants before being packed and made ready for shipping. 

Use of more than 100 grams of seeds daily can cause intestinal upset and nausea. Otherwise, fenugreek is extremely safe.

Taking herbal remedies in a Tincture or Fluid extract preparation is simple and easy. The tincture can be measured out into the small ml measuring cup that comes with each bottle. (A medicine cup or spoon could also be used) and the tincture can be taken directly.

However some people do find the bitter tincture taste to be too strong, so it may be a good idea to dilute the drops in water or fruit juice. For children, the elderly, those with a sensitive constitution or those avoiding alcohol, the alcohol can be evaporated from the tincture. This can be done by putting the drops in boiling water and leaving for 10 minutes to evaporate. For full instructions go to our How to take Herbal Tincture page.

 Manufacture Process

When the Fenugreek plant has reached full maturity and the seed pods have started to go brown and harden; the plant can then be harvested. After harvest the plants are screened and identified before the seed is separated from the pods, cleaned and then made ready to undergo the process of cold percolation in order to extract the active constituents into tincture form. The cold percolation method employs a gradient circulation of the solution which keeps the plant ingredients in perpetual contact with the ethanol. This technique is faster and more efficient than maceration and ensures there is less waste of precious plant materials. This premium quality product is manufactured to GMP standards and Quality Assured by Indigo Herbs. It is 100% pure botanical ingredients, completely free of synthetic ingredients with absolutely nothing added.

Do not exceed stated dose. If taken in large quantities Fenugreek may result in an up-set stomach and nausea. Please consult a Herbal practitioner for the amount that is right for you.
