I started taking this Herb after wanting to help with slightly sagging breasts following numerous pregnancies. There are many pills on the market that are very expensive...unlike Fenugreek $8.00. Much to my surprise Fenugreek is a hidden gem. After a few days my breasts are fuller. But for me little did I know the following about this Herb that has been used for ages and ages. I had to get my blo...

I have only been taking them for a week or so but they have given me such intense pain in my breasts it is not worth it hoping my sugar goes down. I also have big time ringing of the ears.

I never take supplements of this, just the real seeds which are very cheap in most indian grocery stores. Soak half or one teaspoon in a glass of water in the morning. Drink that at night, the seeds will be soft by then too. Result after a few days: clears up phelm, mucus naturally. Coughs up if any without any effort. I usually do this for a week or two every month to ensure my lungs are clear. Or if I have a cold or cough. Have not had any side effects. Also noticed my hair is darker, longer and in better condition. Guess it helps hair too.Read More Read Less

Effective treatment to control blood sugar absent other pharmaceutical medications. Easy to use. Seeds do need macerated in water before ingesting. Effective blood thinner as well. Will alter your natural body odor & the smell of your waste. Not bad just different. Can affect appetite.

Some people say of taking fenugreek supplements that they make you smell like caramel. Don't be put off by that. In my experience, when sweating during vigorous exercise the sweat smells very much like cocnut oil, rather than caramel; and it is a rather pleasantly fragrant aroma, rather than pungent.

Used for breast and butt enlargement. Found a video on YouTube that led me to a oil and soap that is sold on www.candleswithpurpose.com (look under the essential oils tab). I've tried a lot of different oils but this one was the best along with her method. Only have to use the oil on my skin, i don't have to ingest it. Grew a cup size. Breast perkier and fuller. Why is no one talking about this natural method for women?

I take a teaspoon of seeds and soak them in hot water overnight and drink the water and eat the soaked seeds before breakfast. Doing this and not changing any other controls after 3 months this has reduced my Type 2 diabetes HBAC 1 levels by 2 points which now make me pre-diabetic. Also reduced my Triglyceride level by 0.5 and cholesterol by 0.6. I will continue this for a further 6 months to see if any further benefits. Will share any updates. Good luck if you try it...

I started taking 2 pills a day of Fenugreek, it gave me a gassy, upset stomach. My pills were 610 mg each, so then I started taking just 1 pill with my other pills at night. Even this gasses my stomach up an hurts a little. I will keep trying to take it at night to see if it brings my BG down. I've had trouble with herbal

The walmart brand nature valley dropped my blood glucose 25 points. I lost 25 lbs as well. I am now prediabetic. I took another brand from another drug store and it did not work at all so be careful the suppliment your buy.

I used organic/pure vegan encased capsules of Fenugreek to increase my milk production for my 7.5 month old baby since it just started decreasing as she's been eating food, but she still wants breast milk. I used it 4 different times, taking it with food and water. And each time I used it, it caused severe cramping, gas, bloating, and diarrhea.

After 15 months of nonstop throat clearing and being treated with two different PPI drugs, nasal spray, antibiotics, diet modifications...I decided try an alternative approach. After some research fenugreek looked like a possibility. After taking 2x610mg capsules a day, I found I was clearing my throat a couple of times a day. I can live with this, but Iâ??m hopeful that the condition will totally disappear overtime.

Fenugreek seeds were soaked in apple cider vinegar. Took one teaspoon of the soaked seeds. Later felt slightly nauseous with loss of appetite. 10 hours later suffered diarrhoea. Still persisting 24 hrs later. Now taking anti-diarrhoea medication!

My milk production drastically decreased since going back to owrk. I have been taking 1800mg 3 times a day for the past 2 months and my milk production has gone up. Not to the amount I had before going back to work, but a significant amount that I can produce enough milk to feed my now 9 month old son. Some other effects I have noticed since taking this is less bloating and more manageable menstrual cramps. The effect I don't like is the strong smell of maple syrup that I now have all the time.I would recommend trying fenugreek or other herbal methods before going on prescription lactation medication.Read More Read Less

Bought supplements over the counter. Take 1 capsule a day & my milk supply went up after just a few days. I wish I had taken it sooner because I feel better, more energetic, & all around healthier.

This was recommended to me for high cholesterol before I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. When my dr. told me that my cholesterol was high, and she was going to prescribe medication, I asked her to let me try an herbal treatment. She agreed to let me try that for six months. I boil the sesds in a small amount of water, and have a heaping teaspoon of the seeds and liquid once each day. After six months of this, when I had my cholesterol checked again, my dr. said "Keep doing what you're doing - your cholesterol is down." Happy so far.Read More Read Less

I take 20 mg Simvastatin to get cholesterol down to around 215 from 285, but I recently started taking 6 of these Fenugreek capsules along with about a table spoon or less of flaxseed daily which got my cholesterol down to 171 from 215....Very Impressive achievement! Recently, I got off the Simvastatin on August 12th since I've been taking that for like 5 years straight and need a break. I was starting to get E.D. symptoms, but they are all gone and sex-drive is back with Fenugreek/flaxseed reducing LDL without Simvastatin which can cause ED, and Niacin to increase HDL. I don't know how my cholesterol is and don't care since I like this feeling at the age of 55. Even your Finger Nails grow extremely big with Fenugreek/flax because my nails have never been this big and growing this fast. I think I am clipping nails every week, and my body hair seems to be EXtremely thicker too along with much more hair on my head..........Note: I take other supplements like B-100, vitamin c, magnesium, vitamin K, but I really did not notice any of this growth before.Read More Read Less

Have had milk supply issues since my son was a few weeks old. Started taking this when he was 2 months. Definitely increased my supply but caused awful stomach problems for me (gas, bloating, and diarrhea).
