Does taking Fenugreek make one smell?
January 12 2007 at 9:20 PM Anonymous (Login ariesxtreme)
I know of someone and also read that if you take the fenugreek capsules, your body starts to secrete a pungent smell, almost curry like. Has anyone experienced this? Would hate to smell like curry all the time. I'm still doing research before I decide on a program.
TIA!

I've heard the smell compared to maple syrup, but never curry.

Fenugreek makes me reek of curry :-{
It oozes out my pores and my wee-wee pongs badly too :-{
Even on really cold days, I sweat it out heavily :-{
Good job I've given it up.........lol!!
Strange how some people can smell it as being similar to maple syrup and others of us smell it as being pongy curry powder. One of life's many mysteries....heh heh!!

I have wondered this myself as I take it internally all day (3x a day)
I would not be surprised if the fenugreek effects how your sweat smells.
The booby batter I make with it definately smells like syrup and my husband cracks jokes about it all the time. I believe it has inspired those around the person giving off the aroma, to indulge in pancakes and waffles.

When I was taking fenugreek everyday I definitely smelled like maple syrup and of curry. It reminded me of the way some middle eastern people smell, because I think some of them incorporate it into their food. So I can see where the curry association would come from. But the strong smell ultimately is what made me stop using it.

It definitely makes you smell. You can try taking Parsley I think it was, that is meant to neutralise the smell, there are some old threads on this.
Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of sweet fruit can help combat the smell too.
The higher the dosage, the more you smell, so it is worth trying lower dosages first, they may work just as well.

I just started my programme two days ago, and didn't tell my husband. We're lying in bed this morning and my daughter walks in and my husband asked if she had pancakes for breakfast already.."No"....Maybe your brother did..."he's not up"....My husband says..."then why do I keep smelling syrup?"...I had to fess up...lol

When I took fenugreek, I didn't smell like maple syrup. My sweat smelled like curry, and my urine smelled like Old Spice (I kid not). Everytime I would go to the bathroom I would think, "Hmm, is my Dad going out again?"

I take 2440mg of fenugreek a day in pill capsule form and I've never smelled anything at all. Not in my pee, and not in my sweat. But then again, I RARELY ever sweat at all, so, maybe that's why.

It hasn't made me smell, but I imagine like everything else that different people respond differently to things. Although I'd opt for smelling like maple syrup over curry, lol.
