Fenugreek is a traditional, widely-used herbal supplement valued by breastfeeding mothers for lactation support.* This Certified Organic single-herb formula makes it easy to maintain a consistent wellness routine.
- Traditional choice for nursing mothers.*
- Single-herb formula for easy use.*
- Supports lactation when used consistently.*
- Certified Organic.
Why Single-Herb Formula: Using Fenugreek as a single-herb product (rather than in combination formulas) allows you to easily adjust your individual serving and maintain consistency in your routine.
Considerations: Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you:
- Are pregnant (not recommended during pregnancy)
- Have diabetes or are on insulin regimens
- Have legume allergies or sensitivities (Fenugreek is in the legume family)
Some people may experience a maple syrup scent when using this herb - this is normal and indicates the herb is active in your system. In some cases, Fenugreek may cause digestive discomfort in mother or baby. Our Fennel Tincture, Nursing Tea, or Tummy Tincture may provide complementary support.
Fenugreek-Free Alternatives: If Fenugreek isn't right for you, consider Goat's Rue, Blessed Thistle, Nursing Tea, Nursing Tincture, Moringa Tincture, or Shatavari Tincture.
Gas: In a small percentage of people, Fenugreek can cause gas in mother and/or baby. Adding Fennel Tincture, Nursing Tea, Nursing Tincture, or Tummy Tincture will help alleviate this problem while working to increase milk production.
This is a Certified Organic product. Read what that means HERE.
Certified Organic Fenugreek Seed. The regular tincture is extracted in Certified Organic grape alcohol and the non-alcohol version is extracted in Certified Organic vegetable glycerine and distilled water. All Herb Lore tinctures are non-GMO and are gluten-free and are never, ever tested on animals.
Start with three droppersful (squeezes) three times a day. This is considered a very low dose for this particular herb. With Herb Lore's Fenugreek Tincture, you should see results within 12-24 hours. If you do not see the desired results, you can increase your dosage.
The amount that worked for our herbalist when she experienced low milk production was 7 droppersful of the tincture three times a day. We've had clients use more, but that's usually not necessary. It is fine to do though, as long as you and your baby are not experiencing any gas or tummy issues, and as long as blood sugar levels are not affected. (Diabetics, check your blood sugar levels often as this herb can lower blood sugar.)
If you start to over-produce breastmilk, reduce the amount of herb intake until you find the right balance for you. Everyone's bodies can all be very different and have different results. Go with what works for you.
Remember, do not suddenly stop Fenugreek unless you absolutely have to (such as painful gas or unchecked diarrhea in mom or baby). If you do have to stop Fenugreek use suddenly, as in these types of situations, be sure to use another product for increasing milk production to replace the Fenugreek that you're discontinuing.
Please note: Insulin-dependent diabetics should use the herb with caution or not at all, as it may affect their blood sugar and insulin medication needs. Larger doses can lower blood sugar levels in some people.
Fenugreek is a member of the legume family. People with allergies or sensitivities to legumes should also avoid Fenugreek as a precaution.
Oh Pam, you are remarkable, and that spills over into your incredibly-created, life-changing products! I’m not exaggerating. With the help of Fenugreek, I was able to breastfeed my son till he was 10 months. I would’ve been able to keep going, but I found out I was pregnant again and my supply ceased. The other products I love are the Tummy Tincture, Healing Salve, and Itch Relief. These last three items my whole family has used and loved! The past year I bought the Healing Salve at least 6 times! This stuff is a must have for EVERY household. As the original detailed info stated ‘Typical results is that it will heal a diaper rash within hours overnight in severe cases’ Absolutely 100% true!!! I cannot rave enough about this product! You can feel good that you’re putting something that’s healthy on your child and your other family members, their skin is not going to be absorbing anything unnatural or toxic. I’m going to buy this for my cousins that are having babies. Now, the Tummy Tincture was a must for my son and I while I was breastfeeding because we both became bloated while I was taking a larger quantity of the Fenugreek. This helped immensely! Pam, you have done a phenomenal job at meticulously detailing every product and which products work in tandem with one another. I forgot to mention that I also purchased and love the Garlic Ear Oil. It’s given my aching ears relieve many many times. Even when the doctor says she doesn’t see anything out of ordinary within my ears (even though I feel an ear ache coming on), I turn to this product for help. I only have to use it overnight to feel relief. I think that’s everything about the products. Now about you Pam. I have reached out to you twice about problems. You graciously and extensively answered me in depth and with compassion. The entire Herb Lore community is so positive and loving because of you and your products. Thank you so much for making healthy organic natural remedies that really do work, and improve mine and my family and friends lives. I wish you many blessings. Deep gratitude, TLC
