  Mothers generally notice an increase in production 24-72 hours after starting the herb, but it can take two weeks for others to see a change.

  Dosages of less than 6 capsules/day (approx 3500 mg/day) produce no effect in many women. One way to determine if you're taking the correct dosage is to slowly increase the amount of fenugreek until your sweat and urine begin to smell like maple syrup. If you're having problems with any side effects, discontinue use and consider alternative methods of increasing milk supply.

  capsules (580-610 mg)	2-4 capsules, 3 times per day 6-12 capsules (total) per day ~1200-2400 mg, 3 times per day (3.5-7.3 grams/day) German Commission E recommends a daily intake of 6 grams
  capsules (500 mg)	7-14 capsules (total) per day

  Fenugreek is good for the nutritional part to your milk and milk production, but you actually should look for something with goats rue in it for your milk supply. Get Motherslove More Milk Special Blend (https://www.motherlove.com/product/580-More-Milk-Special-Blend.html) it tastes like swamp water... but honestly, it really works. I was originally getting 4oz per pump (32oz a day). When I went back to work it dropped to like 2oz per pump (16oz a day). I started taking this and my supply went back up to an average of 3oz per pump (24oz a day). GL!
