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 is a fenugreek extract used for sexual function and general wellness.
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a compound studied for its role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response and joint comfort. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and silica.
Does it work?
Not established
Fenugreek (Testofen) is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction and sexual arousal, and also possibly effective for diabetes and menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). Palmitoylethanolamide is possibly effective for osteoarthritis.
For other uses listed in the research—spinal cord injury, cannabis use disorder, autism spectrum disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, and migraine—the evidence we hold is either insufficient to rate or shows it may be ineffective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fenugreek is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but supplement doses may cause side effects. The most common ones are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, nausea, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Rare but serious allergic reactions—including severe swelling, breathing problems, and shock—have been reported. Fenugreek may affect the uterus, so medicinal use during pregnancy isn't advised; if taken before delivery, it can cause an unusual body odor in newborns.
It's often used to increase milk supply, but evidence is limited and you should discuss it with your provider first. Palmitoylethanolamide is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited.
Nausea is the most common side effect. There isn't enough safety data for palmitoylethanolamide during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so those uses should be avoided.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this, check if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel—fenugreek may increase bleeding risk. If you take diabetes medications, heart drugs like metoprolol, asthma or breathing medications like theophylline, anti-seizure drugs like phenytoin, Viagra (sildenafil), or warfarin (Coumadin), run them through the search tool on this page first.
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 and joint comfort in some people. If you take any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, heart medications, anti-seizure drugs, or other prescription medications, check with your pharmacist first—fenugreek interacts with quite a few.
Avoid medicinal amounts during pregnancy. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response by GNC AMP contains fenugreek (Testofen), which has documented interactions with multiple medication types.
The most serious interactions are Moderate in severity. Fenugreek may add to the effects of blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix), potentially increasing bleeding risk.
It can also lower blood sugar (glucose) levels when used with diabetes medications, so you'd need closer monitoring if you take those drugs. Fenugreek may reduce how well your body absorbs or processes theophylline (an asthma and breathing medication), phenytoin (an anti-seizure drug), and sildenafil (Viagra), possibly making them less effective.
It could also add to the blood-pressure-lowering effects of metoprolol (a heart medication). Additionally, fenugreek might increase the effect of warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner, by raising your INR (a clotting measure).
The second ingredient, palmitoylethanolamide, has no interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 386 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Testofen
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.
