Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: build muscle and support healthy inflammatory response.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Muscle strength, muscle recovery, post-exercise inflammation — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Fenugreek is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Fenugreek is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength.
  • Also on file: Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fenugreek Palmitoylethanolamide (pea)

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

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.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Fenugreek Palmitoylethanolamide (pea)

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Fenugreek.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 389 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

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.

Testofen9 drug types · 389 drugs

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 .

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
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%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Does Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response has a known interaction with 389 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Testofen & Healthy Inflammatory Response contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help with sexual performance?
Fenugreek is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction and sexual arousal based on the research we hold. Results vary from person to person, so talk to your pharmacist about what to expect.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Fenugreek shouldn't be used medicinally during pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and it's been known to cause an unusual body odor in newborns if taken before delivery. There isn't enough safety data for palmitoylethanolamide during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so you should avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What side effects might I get?
The most common side effects from fenugreek are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, nausea, and low blood sugar. Palmitoylethanolamide most commonly causes nausea. Serious allergic reactions are rare but can occur with fenugreek.
Is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
Fenugreek is often used to boost milk supply, but the evidence is limited and you should talk with your provider first. Palmitoylethanolamide doesn't have enough safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it.
Can this help with joint pain?
Palmitoylethanolamide is possibly effective for osteoarthritis. The fenugreek in this product isn't rated for joint pain in our data.
Can this help with diabetes?
Fenugreek is possibly effective for diabetes—it can lower blood sugar levels. If you already take diabetes medications, though, you'll need to check with your pharmacist first because fenugreek may add to their effects.
