The
unique treatment
in,
1) Dyslipidemia,
(Hyper Cholesterolaemia
& Triglyceridemia)
2) NIDDM
(Especially
in obese patient)
As you know
Doctor, Coronary
artery disease
and atherosclerosis
is associated
with elevated
levels of
total cholesterol
i.e. VLDL,
LDL and triglycerides
in the blood
plasma. Brihans
pharmaceuticals
offers a pure
herbal hypochlestraemic
remedy - Fenucaps.
Fenucaps contains
pure extract
of Fenugreek
seeds. |

1) Fenugreek
exerts hypo-cholesterolemic
action through excretion
of faecal bile acids
& neutral steroids.
Enhanced excretion
of bile acids is
associated with
cholesterol stores
depletion carried
out by liver. The
gum isolate, saponins
& fiber contents
present in nugreek,
exerts hypo-cholesterolemic
actions. Now it
is proved that fenugreek
reduces LDL &
VLDL components
of total cholesterol
without altering
HDL. So it helps
in coronary heart
diseases.
2) In case of NIDDM,
Fenucaps proves
to be the effective
solution. Fenugreek
increases molar
insulin binding
sites of erythrocytes
and improves peripheral
glucose utilization.
(Japi) Vol. 46,
Jan’98) Fenugreek
contains high fiber
thus it increases
insulin sensitivity
(Reiser 1979) Gaur
Gum is used as antidiabetic
agent. Fenugreek
also contains 19.2%
gumisolate which
resembles guar gum
in chemical structure
and has been shown
to have strong Hypocholesteromic
activity. ( Hypolipidemic
Effects of Fenugreek
seeds by Q.C.Raghuram
& A.Salbaba.

Fenucaps helps in
regularising the
lipid metabolism
hence also proves
to be effective
in mild to moderate
hypertension.
