Rating: - Fenugreek seed for diabetics
My mom takes fenugreek seed daily to control her blood sugar level. It works well and she has been able to reduce her dosage of Glucophage.
The use of fenugreek for treating diabetes has been scientifically validated (you can read abstracts by doing a keyword search on www.pubmed.gov ).

My mom gets it from the Indian grocer where it is much cheaper, though loose and not encapsulated.

Rating: - Excellent resource for increasing your milk supply
My milk supply began to decrease significantly after I started back to work (my son was about six month's old at this time). I took -- and still take, 3 tablets of fenugreek and blessed thistle each per day at least twice a day. If I am not able to pump, I add another round of the herbs and let my son nurse more, to keep my milk supply going strong. This is a wonderful blessing to know that my milk supply can easily be reestablished, if stress, schedule or other factors inhibit our desire to feed the old fashion way! Five stars for fenugreek (and blessed thistle, too!) As a side note, the lactation nurses have told me, that these herbs do lower your blood sugar, so they should be taken with food. ... Read More

Rating: - My cup runs over!
A few weeks after my baby girl was born my milk started to decrease. A girlfriend of mine told me about Fenugreek to help increase my milk again. I take 2 pills three times a day. WOW, what can I say? My cup runs over. This is a great product to any mother and baby while nursing.

Rating: - It Works
It worked for me since the first day I started to use it, I was getting 30 ml everytime, but with fenugreek increased about 20 to 40 ml more, wasnt a LOT of milk, but i can say it worked. I added a tea (Mother's milk) and now my milk supply is even bigger, so i guess, pills plus tea works even better than only fenugreek pills, good luck

Rating: - Mothers: Helps milk production
I first tried fenugreek tea, but even my husband who loves tea said it was nasty. My OB told me this would slighly help my milk production and she was right. I wouldn't say a LOT, but probably added an extra feeding or so (4-ish oz) to my day. I took 2 capsules 3x a day. The side effect that we heard about (and laughed about) was totally true. You WILL smell like maple syrup. It's really odd and funny. I made all my friends smell me.
