Fenugreek: A Natural Supplement to Improve Lactation

Increase Your Breast Milk Production Naturally

Breastfeeding is a wonderful way for a new mother to bond with her baby. The benefits to both mother and baby are significant and plentiful.

Breast milk is your baby’s “perfect food” – it contains just the right amount of easily digested protein, sugar, fat, and water to support healthy physical and mental development. Breastfed babies even tend to perform better on IQ tests than their formula-fed counterparts!

And for mom, breastfeeding is ideal – it’s convenient (no bottles to prepare in the middle of the night), affordable (no formula to purchase), and it consumes those extra calories that make it easier to return to your pre-pregnancy weight.

But breastfeeding can also be a time of tremendous frustration – for both mother and baby – when milk production is low, as is often the case.

Fenugreek is a safe, natural herb that has been used for centuries as a popular “galactagogue” – a supplement that helps to increase the volume of breast milk that a mother produces. Fenugreek contains a specific compound, diosgenin, which has been shown to increase milk flow in lactating women.

Typically, increased milk production from taking Fenugreek occurs within the first 2-3 days after beginning supplementation, with full effectiveness attained within 2 weeks. Often, once milk flow has been successfully established, Fenugreek usage can be stopped without a corresponding interruption in milk flow.

Fenugreek Dosage for Breastfeeding Women

The dosage of fenugreek needed to enhance breast milk production is at least 3.5 grams (3,500mg) per day, and ranges up to 7.3 grams (7,500mg) per day. The Nature’s Way brand of Fenugreek we carry contains 610mg Fenugreek, so you would need to take around 6 capsules per day to reach 3.66 grams (or 3660mg) per day. Because there are 100 capsules per bottle, one bottle represents a 16 day supply (assuming you’re taking 6 capsules per day).

Items to Be Aware of When Taking Fenugreek

Fenugreek can impart a smell of maple syrup to breast milk. Fenugreek usage is not recommended for pregnant women. If you are allergic to peanuts or chickpeas, you should not take fenugreek. Fenugreek usage can reduce blood glucose levels, and as such, diabetics should consult their doctor before using fenugreek. Women who are prone to asthma should also consult their doctor before using Fenugreek.
