Support Healthy Lactation with Fenugreek
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region of the world. Fenugreek is used throughout the world as a culinary spice and has been used by women for centuries as a “galactagogue” – a natural product to increase the production of breast milk. Fenugreek contains diosgenin, a plant-based estrogen, which is thought to increase milk flow in lactating women to help support breast milk production.*
Unlike other available Fenugreek supplements which can require taking up to 8 capsules per day, Fairhaven Health’s Fenugreek contains a unique blend of organic Fenugreek Seed Powder, along with a concentrated Fenugreek Seed Powder extract (10:1), delivering a dose equivalent to 2000 mg of standard fenugreek seed powder in just 2 vegetarian capsules each day.
While fenugreek has a long history of safe use as a culinary spice and an herbal galactagogue, there are a few important precautions related to fenugreek supplementation:
- Fenugreek can cause sweat and breast milk to smell like maple syrup.
- Fenugreek is not recommended for pregnant women.
- Fenugreek should be used with caution by women with allergies to peanuts.
- Fenugreek can reduce blood glucose levels. Women with diabetes should consult a physician before taking fenugreek.
- Fenugreek can, in some cases, aggravate asthma symptoms. Women with asthma should consult a physician before using fenugreek.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions about Fenugreek. If your question is not listed or you need further clarification, please contact us directly.
Should I take a multivitamin along with Fenugreek?
Yes, we would highly recommend you take a postnatal vitamin along with Fenugreek. We recommend Nursing Postnatal.
Is your supplement different than others on the market?
Unlike other Fenugreek supplements on the market which can require taking up to 8 capsules per day, our Fenugreek contains a unique blend of organic Fenugreek Seed Powder, along with a concentrated Fenugreek Seed Powder extract, delivering a dose equivalent to 2000 mg of standard fenugreek seed powder in just 2 vegetarian capsules each day.
What can I expect when taking Fenugreek?
Some nursing women experience an increase in milk production within the first 2-3 days after beginning supplementation with fenugreek, with full effectiveness attained within 2 weeks. Once milk flow has been successfully established, it is often possible to discontinue fenugreek supplementation. However, even when taken in daily dosages of multiple grams per day, fenugreek is considered to be safe for both short-term use to boost milk supply or long-term use for helping to maintain breast milk production. (Note: Results vary, and fenugreek does not work for all nursing women.)
How many capsules do I take daily?
You can take 2 capsules 1 or 2 times daily. We do not recommend you exceed 4 capsules in 1 day.
How large are the capsules?
Our Fenugreek capsules are approximately the size of a regular multivitamin.
Is Fenugreek vegan?
Yes, our Fenugreek supplement is vegan.

I really feel that this product has made a difference in my milk supply. Not a huge difference, but it has increased a little. Shipping was very fast.

I used this product in conjunction with the Milkies Nursing Supplement and definitely saw results. I was almost exclusively pumping (now nursing only once a day), but noticed a boost in my supply when I started this product AND the Nursing Supplement.

I have taken this with both my little ones. Really helped boost my supply and keep it up. Didnt upset my stomach or make me smell like maple syrup the way other ones have. Highly recommend!

With my first child I hadn’t heard of Fenugreek and struggled with my supply and finally quit breastfeeding at 9 months because of the struggle. Now, with my second child I’ve been taking Fenugreek as directed, she is 2 months old and (thanks to a app I have to track it) I have pumped 28 gallons. It’s outrageous, I love it.

I am an EP Mommy and because every ounce that I produce is measured, I can very easily tell what is working and what is not. After using the product for three days I jumped up 4 ounces a day. It was the difference between being stressed at the end of the night before the last bottle and not. The pills taste icky, but its worth it. I also smelled like maple syrup but after two months of taking the supplement, the smell subsided. Will highly recommend this to other moms. Because of this product, I exclusively breastfed for 8 months (and hopefully counting).

I had previously tried Nursing Blend, which was amazing at increasing my milk supply when it was very low. I thought about using just fenugreek, which is one of the main ingredients in the Nursing Blend supplement pills, mostly because I figured it would be just as effective at a lower cost. I wasn’t all together wrong. I got decent results with the fenugreek, but when you considere that you also have to spend on prenatal vitamins and that fenugreek alone isn’t not as effective as when combined with the other many great herbal suplements that increase your milk supply, well, then personally I consider Nursing blend to be the better more effective product. This fenugreek alone is very good and effective, but if you’re trying to increase you’re milk supply I’d say go with Nursing Blend.

Took this to increase my milk supply and it works so well. The only downside is you eventually start smelling like fenugreek! 😉

I’m 42 and have trouble supplying enough milk to breastfeed two babies… This helps bring more than enough milk to fully feed AND pump extra!! Don’t pay more than you have to for similar advertised products! Cannot believe how productive this line of products is!! Thank you for helping me keep my children healthy and nourished!!!
