Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed Supplement - 610 mg per Serving

Deenkado: Item came quickly. It did increase my milk supply. Problem was that it gave my baby colic-like symptoms. Extremely bad and painful gas, hiccups, fussiness, and the worst of all, it kept her alert. Constantly awake, disturbed sleep. Once I realized it was the fenugreek and stopped taking it, her symptoms decreased immensely. She is still gassy, but my poor baby can finally sleep again. Just beware and watch for the effects on your baby.

CGR: My husband had been diagnosed with basically borderline diabetes. He was given Metaformin to control it years ago. Metafomin caused him to gain weight and have bladder control issues. He stopped using the medicine and we started in on a low grain / low sugar diet years ago. But his numbers have been creeping up lately.

SO ... within the last month we eventually started him on skullcap first, which dropped his blood from 220 to 140 within the first week. We then added in fenugreek and also magnesium. Guess what? He finally hit 90! We were so happy with this and his others combined that I came back to purchase more.

So ... he is now on a regimen of:
morn: 1 skullcap + 1 fenugreek
even: 1 skullcap + 1 fenugreek + 1tsp natural calm (magnesium)

For him, that did the trick. He just got his blood drawn last week to test for sugar. His fasting sugar was 123 (which is WAY better then what it had been), but his AC1 was 8.5, so I will update at a later time to share what a few months of our combination will do.

We are also trying to combat the "dawn phenomenon", trying Gymnema Sylverate before bed, but so far, haven't fixed the higher morning blood sugar...

Alexa: This product saved me when I went back to work after 3 months post partum. I had a very abundent supply right after birth but my supply dropped dramatically when i went back to work until I bought these. I had been using mothers milk tea to help with my supply since birth , but decided to switch to these pills based on the reviews. Within 24 hours of taking these my supply almost tripled. I took a couple a few times a day and I could feel and see a dramatic difference when I was pumping. These pills were a lifesaver. You can tell when you open the bottle that they have a maple smell to them and they definitly make you smell like maple syrup when you sweat but there are much worse smells! I didnt have to take them everyday but when I started to feel my supply drop, I would just take a few here in there for a day or two and I would be back to where I needed to be. Amazing product.

Brittany S: 9/24/13:
I tried More Milk Special Blend before this, thinking the blend would work best. It didn't do very much for me, so I went the cheaper route and tried plain fenugreek, expensive doesn't = better.

I took fenugreek Sunday night then started doing 3-4 pills 3 times a day. (I did it with and without meals, no noticeable difference) I chart my pumping out put in an excel doc and using that I can tell that I went from 2.5-3 oz during my at work pumpings to 3.5-4.5oz regularly. I only pump 3 times at work (7/8am, 10/11am, 1/2pm depending on work load). My first pump since starting fenugreek is generally 4oz, second is 3-3.5, and third is 4-5oz. I still dont pump enough at work to feed my boy so I pump once in the evenings and once when I get up at 4am to have enough for daycare.

So I would say that this supplement works, not a HUGE jump but it's only the first few days of taking it so theres a possibily of it increasing. Oh! I dont smell like maple syrup (yet), but when I burp I taste it. I'll try to write an update if anything changes.

Update 10/8/13: So I haven't been on this for a whole month yet but I now pump 4oz at each work pumping which gives me...

StayathomeMom: I started taking fenugreek 1 pill 2 - 3 times a day after I went back to work. I was having a hard time producing and pumping at work. I didn't like pumping anyways, and was having to pump everyday to keep up with my bottles for the 12 hours I was at work. My midwife recommended the fenugreek. I was a little leery at first about how it would work, but after 24 hours I noticed a significant difference. My little one was happier, and I was able to pump more at work. I went from a total of 45 mins for 2- 3 ounce bottles, to 30 mins for 4 - 3 ounce bottles, which is about how many bottles I need for when I'm at work. I was able to decrease my pumping at home, making my life easier, and get to do that uncomfortable thing a lot less. I'm glad that it's a natural remedy as opposed to starting on some medicine. Thanks fenugreek!
