Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed Supplement, Fenugreek for Traditional Breastfeeding Lactation Support*, Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan, 320 Capsules (Packaging May Vary)

Fantastic! I am a new mom and new to breastfeeding. I didn’t realize how much this stuff helps my milk supply until I ran out. Ordered more and now after one week I'm back up on my supply! 10/10 recommend!

Review with updates from notes app: 1 week and the most recent one. Jan 28 I was worried af about the taste after reading all the reviews 💀 turns out it tastes almost like nothing. The pills at most literally tastes like wheat. The coating of the capsules do NOT taste nasty or weird at all, I literally licked it and it tastes at most like oat or rice flour. You don’t taste it at all when you do swallow it fast with water tho. This is such a good bottle, it’s has 320 caps in there and for only $13 is a steal 😆 So an update: I literally only took 2 pulled yesterday since the day is ending and haven’t room any today, I checked how I smelled. I don’t stink at all, I can’t really smell maple syrup my my armpits slightly have this sweet smell??? Like only a small hint of it?!? I only took 2 pills and that’s the result I got. I even sniffed myself down there to check and it’s NOT my usual smell either, it’s slightly sweet but not entirely maple syrup. The instructions said to take 2 pills 3 times a day so 6, I only took a third of that. I’m probably just gonna take 4 everyday instead of 6 cuz this is some strong stuff, you get your results the literally next day 😭 plus these induce periods or make them come faster so I’m having some cramps rn and idk what’s going on. My actual period is supposed to come in just few days but I’m already having cramps today so maybe it’s coming sooner than I thought? Another symptom is my boobas are slightly sore, but they’ve been like that since yesterday. Record of days: Day 1: took 2 only since it was night time and day was almost over Day 2: took 4 Day 3: took 5 I can start smelling something from my armpits, I can clearly smell my own scent but they’re something sweet there. 75% myself and 25% foreign sweet smell Day 4: morning and I haven’t took any yet, OMG I SMELL SO SWEET AND ITS A LOT MORE PROMINENT THAT YESTERDAYS SMELL. My armpit and my down there, there’s literally a sweet scent 😭 I still taste the same so far so probably have to wait few more day for the scent to actually get stronger. Took 5 again. I the maple syrup smell isn’t strong but it’s obvious, if you smell it, you can tell it’s straight up maple syrup, it even just a subtle tone but it’s like if you poured the syrup on me. I still have to use deodorant(unscented) cuz I still stink from the literal bacteria that consumes my sweat, I don’t have any body odor at all. Once I got the deodorant on I stopped stinking and the maple syrup smell form my pits were way more obvious. This fenugreek does NOT stop body odor btw, so many ppl have been saying that and been misleading people. Day 5: took 4, I smell about the same. Not lighter, no stronger. I smell super fresh and so even I’m into myself when I smell myself 😭 the sweetness of the maply smell and the body washed mixed together is like heaven to my nose. Remember, you can only smell the best when you’re clean, even if you don’t wear deodorant, at least wash your armpit so you don’t get the bacteria that makes your pits stink. I’ve been taking it consistently enough I think 4-5 is my number and it’s been settling in my body the way it is and my body is used it now :) remember this varies a lot from person to person cuz there are reviews of people saying they stopped taking or took less because of how strong they smelled like maple syrup or they can’t stand the smell of it. To me it’s pretty light and sweet, not heavy, not strong, but obvious maple syrup smell if you understand 😍 I’m gonna update more until I reach day 7, my period is close, I need to know if it’ll do any good for me while I’m on my period. Day 6: my period came, I didn’t feel cramps at first when I woke up but it gradually got worse and I felt it. Cramps are completely gone after I took one single pain killer. Took 4 in total today. Day 7: the cramps are about not there, I didn’t need to take any pain killers today for it. Usually my period cramps are gone on the third day usually and this is the second day. Took 4 again. Feb 26 I just discovered my period smells like full blown just maple syrup now 💀 like I’m not even leaking blood, more like I’m leaking maple syrup out of my cooch. That’s how well it works 😭💀 I was showering and I realized what the smell is, I would’ve never noticed if it weren’t for that shower. Also I still have cramps, it was really intense yesterday, I had to take painkillers again. My cramps haven’t really gone away at all so there’s that. But these supplements really really work!!! And I’m super happy abt it, will be buying more bottles in the future :) Update: I forgot to add, this INDUCES period so you might experience your period more intensely or comes faster. The second time I had my period taking this I had a super heavy flow on the second day and then basically almost nothing the 3rd day I thought my period ended but it didn’t. It’s just super light on the third, most of the period stuff came out and really quickly on the 1st-2nd day. That’s my cycle usually and this fenugreek made it even more intense than usually 💀

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 just 2 oz short of what my son needs at daycare and I pump the rest in the AM with 1-2 oz leftover :). I recently got sick and didn't want my supply to tank so I upped my pills to 4-5 3x's a day and now I defiantely smell like syrup, my husband says the bathroom smells like syrup after I pee lol. (on the plus side he doesn't mind the sweet smell, as I'd read another person's husband hated it). **also I am not absolutely positive it's related to the fenugreek but around the same time I started taking it my son went from breastfeeding 30-40 minutes in the evenings to about every 1-1.5 hours, not a huge jump but it allows me to get stuff around the house taken care of !:)

this made my sweat smell like honey but be careful! if you use it too much you'll start to have a curry like scent.

I added a picture to show a difference between this product (on the LEFT) and a different product from a different brand (on the RIGHT). For starters this product is pale and skinny which makes sense as to why they want you to drink 6 a day while the product on the right only requires you to drink 1 pill a day and it is darker in color. This product on the left has a strange smell to it, the smell is off putting but the taste is even worse but the one on the right doesn’t have an off putting smell and I put it on my tongue and it didn’t taste like much. I don’t know if I received a bad batch with this product but I wasn’t interested in continuing after one week. My tongue touched the capsule of this product as I was swallowing and it left such a nasty taste that I gagged. To me it smells like wood mixed with some type of burnt, strong-smelling oil that I have put in my hair before like castor oil. However, I tried to push through for a week because I wanted to experience the maple syrup smell that people said they experienced in only 1 day of taking this but I didn’t get it after 1 week. What I smelled in my armpit on day 6 was a light scent of wood that was shaved down and had an unknown dark oil added to it. It wasn’t what I wanted and it was nowhere near maple syrup smell which was disappointing because that’s what I mostly got it for. Here are pros and cons after 1 week of taking 6 capsules a day: Pros: 1. It made me go #2 often which is only good because I don’t go frequently but it would be a con to those that do go frequently. 2. Made me use #1 often as well which may be good or bad to some but I see it as good because it made me drink more water. Cons: 1. No syrup smell on myself like I hoped 2. Horrible taste 3. Horrible smell

I have a freezer stash now! This stuff is incredible. I’ve tried so many supplements, vitamins, lactation snacks, etc and nothing really worked for me. This is the only thing that supported and actually helped increase my breastmilk supply! I know Fenugreek can upset some people’s stomachs, hence also hurting their babies stomach through the breast milk, so I gradually added it to my routine. I did 1x at nighttime for 2 days, then 1x in the morning and 1x at nighttime for 2 days, then adding another before bed for 2 days, ending at 2x in the morning and 2x at night. Have had no tummy problems for me or my baby! Before, my daytime pumps were usually 2-4oz and nighttime pumps were 6-7oz. Now, my daytime pumps are 4-6oz and my nighttime pumps are 8-12oz! It’s insane! I even stopped taking these for two days just to see if there was a difference and there was a very noticeable decrease in my supply. Relatively easy to swallow. The taste is a little strong at first, but I think that’s just how those vegan capsules smell/taste. Overall, I will definitely be continuing this in my routine and will likely continue throughout my breastfeeding journey!

Warning !! 5 stars just to make sure you read this lol This can upset your baby's stomach, cause fussiness, diarrhea, and excessive spit up. I started taking these and it did Increase my milk supply but it caused gas that stayed trapped in, diarrhea, and it affect my baby as well . I had no idea that's why he was fussy untill I realized we had the same symptoms. Also, if you take antidepressants this is a big no no to mix with.
