how many fenugreek should i take?

Answer 1

The typical dosage is 3-4 capsules 3x per day.
If you are taking enough, you'll start to smell kind of like maple syrup.
Make sure you read the link below. There are a few people who should not take fenugreek.

Answer 2

I presume you are taking them to increase your milk supply...

Fenugreek Capsule Form (580-610 mg)

2-4 capsules, 3 times per day --- 6-12 capsules (total) per day
1200-2400 mg, 3 times per day (3.5-7.3 grams/day)
German Commission E recommends a daily intake of 6 grams

I recommend that you only purchase Fenugreek from a reputable Herbal store, the quality is generally superior to that found in chain discount stores.

You do realise that supply will meet the demand when brest feeding...if you feed or express every 2 hours for 24 hours...your supply will increase...

like all things herbal it can have side effects such as....

Sweat and urine smells like maple syrup (this is common and often a sign that you have reached the right dose)
Loose stools in some women, which go away when fenugreek is discontinued
Hypoglycemia in some mothers
Can cause uterine contractions - do NOT use if you're pregnant
Diabetic mothers should use caution with fenugreek since it can cause lowering of blood glucose levels

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Assuming ~600mg capsules, two per dose three times per day. If diabetic you should use caution taking fenugreek.

Answer 4

2-4 capsuls 3 times a day, so that would be as few as 6 capsuls a day or as many as 12 a day.
