The amount is common in studies and various successful nbe programs. Human studies often but not always err towards the low end though. Rats are given more than double the above mg/kg extract in studies without any adverse effects (and beneficial effects). Men can use it for testosterone and I’ve used a little more for many years. Physicals come out normal. Including tests related to blood sugar and insulin. Hypoglycemics are more sensitive and shouldn’t use any at all, not even smaller amounts.
Around 10g or a tbsp. whole seeds per serving is a common Indian side dish. Not an extract obviously.
I do remember a forum user who kept using fenugreek for a long time even though she had hypoglycemia, trying to find ways to mitigate the low blood sugar. And then passed out from low blood sugar in spite of the efforts as her sensitivity to it worsened. Iirc she only used a few grams (whole herb not extract) even though 10-30g is commonly given to people in human studies.
