Does Soy foods Affect Fenugreek?
May affect absorption or how you feel
The short answer
Fenugreek's steroidal saponins support testosterone via aromatase inhibition. Soy isoflavones' estrogenic activity may partially oppose this effect.
How to arrange timing
Take fenugreek apart from soy meals for maximum testosterone support.
