I've tried a whole herb fenugreek supplement. I've heard good things about fenugreek, but you have to take 1800mg 3x a day (more if you're 175lb+). I've only seen a little increase with anything I've tried, but my supply issue is most likely related to placental insufficiency in my pregnancy (I had an abruption, emergency cesarean).
Yes I take it per my Drs recommendation. I take 3 caps 3 times a day. I went from pumping 1/2 oz at a session to a full oz a week later...my dr also recommended Blessed Thistle. Not sure if it's the supplement that helped or not but I take it just in case.
