What form of fenugreek?

I would like to start taking fenugreek and would like to know in what form you take it in or have taken it in. I heard mostly of pills but also powder in peanut butter and tea.
I'll post this also on the breastfeeding group but this board gets more activity. TIA

Re: What form of fenugreek?

  • I've taken pills.  I got them from my midwife so I'm not sure where else you can buy them.

  • You can generally find them in capsules at any pharmacy or vitamin store, I think. I see them pretty often. I was taking some capsules that I bought at Rite Aid, they were the GNC brand, I believe.
  • I am taking the pills as well i got them at GNC vitamin shop

  • I'm taking the mother's love more milk plus. It comes in a liquid, which I was told by the person at the store, as well as by two LC's that it's the most effective way. Tastes horrible, but it seems to work. I get it at Sprouts, but if you don't have that store maybe check another "health" food store or even on line.

    I'm going to look into this. I'm going to try fenugreek too but if that doesn't work I want to see if this does.

    I take More Milk Plus as well. I truly believe it makes a difference. I can tell when I forget to take it for a day. The directions tell you not to drink for 15 mins before or after which is really challenging to so at first. The taste is terrible, but you do become more accustom to it. By more accustom I mean I don't have the overhwelming feeling to drink it down now. I still make a face and shake my head after I take it though. I got mine from Whole Foods, but if you are having trouble finding it Amazon sells it.

    The main ingredient is fenugreek, it's just in a liquid tincture form, which your body can absorb faster/better. And @happybride 276, I totally do the face and head shake everytime... I liken it to taking a really horrible shot of some kind of disgusting alcohol several times a day, lol. The LC I was talking to about it actually said you don't have to do the 15 min before and after thing.. I still try to, because it says, but if there's times I'm super thirsty I still drink. One of my friends also said she dilutes it in about an ounce of water when she takes it and it takes the edge off. But I do think it makes a difference too.
