User Reviews for fenugreek

increased milk supply at least 30% after three days of use

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).

I was looking for something natural for gastritis, and relief my gastritis but also helped me to evacuate my fecal eses

I used fenugreek powder ....having with my green tea every day at three times and my age is 25 .normally I used 1 teaspoon and three times......is it fine to my body?

After using this product for about 3-4 weeks to increase my milk supply, I experienced nervousness & anxiety. I did see a small increase in my milk supply after I increased the dosage to 2 pills 3X a day after the 2nd week of taking it.

I grew up eating fenugreek leaves as we eat spinach in everyday meal. It is very healthy. My father used to grow this in his farm and sale it to local vegetable market.

It helps to boost my testosterone levels and be active during performance.

After spending a night in hospital with kidney stones doctors suggested that I drink 6lt of water daly and hope that In'll pass them. A middle eastern friend suggested I drink about 500 ml of fenugreek tee witch he made from fenugreek seeds. I drank the tee over 2days. By the third day the pain and stones disappeared. A visit to the hospital 2weeks later there was no sign of stones. Eight years later Never felt better I got hold of 1kg of fenugreek seeds and so far have cured six people from kidney stones three of them were about to have them laser blasted but after drinking the tee they disappeared Fenugreek in Arabic is called. HALBA!!! Try it if you suffer from kidney stones so far I've had 100%. Success.cheers. Les!Read More Read Less

I added Funegreek seeds to a pot of jasmine rice...love the flavor. never saw this way to use fenugreek anywhere..then made rice oudding with maple syrup, which was instinctive by asking myself how to sweeten the baked rice pudding..really good!with whipped cream, even better.

I was suffering badly with heart burning, especially after eating spicy food and going to bed within an hour or so. taking 2 to 3 large spoonful twice a day has worked like a miracle.

I started this when I experienced a dip in my supply after having the flu for almost a week. I just couldn't seem to get my supply back to normal any other way. I had read online about other breastfeeding moms having success with it, so I did some research and decided that I would give it a try. There are side effects to be aware of as with any herb or drug. Fortunately for me I have not experienced any adverse side effects. Nor has my baby. I have noticed a slight maple syrup odor to my urine. No big deal. I take 2 610mg capsules 3 times a day. I noticed a significant improvement in my milk supply after 2 days of taking fenugreek. I take it with food, as directed. I also noticed a boost in my energy level. That was an added bonus for me as I'm a busy mom of two. I maintain a healthy diet and stay well hydrated. I continue to breastfeed as normal, every 2-3 hours and once or twice overnight. I highly recommend this herb to breastfeeding mamas who need a boost! I love it, it's fantastic! However, just do your homework and make sure it's right for you! Read More Read Less

I started taking Fenugreek over a year ago. I have acid reflux and was taking medication every day for severe heartburn. I was getting heartburn everyday. Now I don't take any medication and I never have heartburn. It took about two months to start working so don't give up just because it doesn't start working immediately. I suffer no side effects.

With in 24 hours an increase of milk production, usually only needed for ~72 hours. My only issues, causes me to be gassy, and my daughter to be gassy for about 2-3 days after taking this herb.

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.
