HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product has 2 active ingredients: Testofen, a fenugreek seed extract, and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). Fenugreek is a legume seed traditionally used to support sexual function and help manage blood sugar.
PEA is a naturally occurring compound your body makes; here it's meant to support a healthy inflammatory response. The product also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin capsule, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and silica—that hold and deliver the actives.
Does it work?
Not established
For fenugreek: research suggests it's possibly effective for sexual dysfunction and arousal, as well as for dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramping) and diabetes blood sugar control. For PEA: the evidence shows it's possibly effective for osteoarthritis.
The data we hold doesn't rate PEA for migraine headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, or cannabis use disorder—the evidence there is either insufficient or suggests it may not work. Keep in mind that 'possibly effective' means the evidence is promising but not definitive.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fenugreek is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but supplement doses can cause side effects like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and indigestion. Severe allergic reactions (angioedema, bronchospasm, shock) are rare but possible.
PEA is also generally well tolerated; the most common side effect reported orally is nausea. Long-term safety data for PEA are limited.
Neither ingredient should be used during pregnancy—fenugreek can affect the uterus, and there isn't enough safety information for PEA. For breastfeeding, fenugreek is often used to boost milk supply but with limited evidence; discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist first.
PEA lacks safety data for breastfeeding, so avoid it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check it with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix)—fenugreek may have additive effects. Also flag it if you're on diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs (especially metoprolol), theophylline for breathing, phenytoin (Dilantin) for seizures, or sildenafil (Viagra)—fenugreek can interact with all of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may help with sexual function or blood sugar if the research holds up for you, but it comes with real interaction risks—especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes meds, or heart drugs. Talk with your pharmacist before you start, and definitely run your medication list through the checker on this page.

Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response contains fenugreek and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).
Fenugreek has documented interactions with a range of medications; the most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix), where fenugreek may have additive effects or alter how the drug is activated in your body.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fenugreek also interacts with blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs)—it can lower blood glucose on its own, so combining it with diabetes drugs could push your levels too low. It may reduce the effectiveness of theophylline (a breathing medication) and the anti-seizure drug phenytoin (Dilantin).
Fenugreek may also have additive blood-pressure-lowering effects with metoprolol (Toprol) and may reduce levels of sildenafil (Viagra).
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the second ingredient, has no interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 386 individual medications.
Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker on this page—especially if you take any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, heart or blood-pressure medications, or anti-seizure drugs.

Testofen Fenugreek seed extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Some of the constituents in fenugreek have antiplatelet effects in animal and in vitro research. However, common fenugreek products might not contain sufficient concentrations of these constituents for clinical effects. A clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease or diabetes shows that taking fenugreek seed powder 2.5 grams twice daily for 3 months does not affect platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic activity, or fibrinogen levels .
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypoglycemic effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that fenugreek seed can reduce fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might alter the clinical effects of clopidogrel by inhibiting its conversion to the active form.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 200 mg/kg daily for 14 days increases the maximum serum concentration of clopidogrel by 21%. It is unclear how this affects the pharmacokinetics of the active metabolite of clopidogrel; however, this study found that concomitant use of fenugreek seed and clopidogrel prolonged bleeding time by an additional 11%.
Metoprolol (Toprol)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypotensive effects when used with metoprolol.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 300 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9% and 11%, respectively, when administered alone, and by 15% and 22%, respectively, when given with metoprolol 10 mg/kg.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might decrease plasma levels of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week decreases maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of phenytoin by 44% and 72%, respectively. This seems to be related to increased clearance. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Theoretically, concurrent use of sildenafil and fenugreek might reduce levels and therapeutic effects of sildenafil.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week reduces maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of sildenafil by 27% and 48%, respectively. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Theophylline
Theoretically, fenugreek may reduce the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that fenugreek 50 grams daily for 7 days reduces the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of theophylline by 28% and the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) by 22%.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects with warfarin and increase the international normalized ratio (INR).
Some fenugreek constituents have antiplatelet effects, although these might not be present in concentrations that are clinically significant. In one case report, a patient taking warfarin experienced an increased INR when starting to take fenugreek in combination with boldo.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.
