What is Fenugreek?

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is one of the oldest traditional medicinal herbs. It grows to 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 centimeters) tall and has small, white flowers. Each green leaf is divided into three smaller leaves. This non-toxic seed is found in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines and has long been used as a medicine in China and India. Breastfeeding moms often use it as a galactagogue, meaning they consume it to help enhance breast milk supply.

1 tbsp of fenugreek provides the following vitamins and nutrients:

Calories: 36
Protein: 2.55 grams
Fat: 0.71 grams
Carbohydrate 6.48 grams
Fiber 2.7 grams
Iron: 3.72 milligrams (41% of RDA*)
Magnesium: 21 milligrams (7% of RDA*)
Potassium: 85 milligrams (2% of RDA*)
Calcium: 20 milligrams (2% of RDA*)

Besides being used as a spice mix in food preparations, fenugreek is usually consumed as a powder or part of a breastfeeding supplement. Fenugreek is available in many forms, including:

Fenugreek seeds
Fenugreek tea (such as Mother's Milk)
Fenugreek leaves
Fenugreek oil

Is Fenugreek safe?

Fenugreek has a long history of safe use. However, when it comes to supplements, it is important to avoid use during pregnancy. If you're nursing, taking medication, or have medical conditions (allergic individuals or diabetes), consult your healthcare professional before use. On some rare occasions, individuals allergic to peanuts or other legumes may experience allergic/asthma symptoms due to the fenugreek herb. This variation in tolerance could be due to individual differences in metabolism and genetic factors. At UpSpring, we recognize these differences and offer both with-fenugreek and fenugreek-free supplements to accommodate diverse needs and preferences on the breastfeeding journey. While fenugreek is mostly a "well-tolerated" safe herb, fenugreek supplements can cause some potential gastrointestinal upset, such as gas or nausea. Due to the natural maple scent of fenugreek herb, you may notice a maple syrup odor in sweat or urine, which is nothing to worry about. However, if you or your nursing baby experience this, you can simply discontinue use.

FAQ

What are the benefits of using fenugreek supplements for lactation?

Fenugreek supplements can easily be recommended for nursing mothers as they are widely known to support breast milk production. Fenugreek's utility in lactation is well-founded, particularly because it acts as a galactagogue or a compound that encourages breast milk production. This herb has phytoestrogen activity, supporting the hormones in the breast milk supply.

Can I breastfeed while taking fenugreek?

Fenugreek is considered safe to consume during lactation but not during pregnancy. As with all supplements, it is important to speak with your healthcare professional before use, particularly if you have any medical conditions and/or allergies within the legume family. Fenugreek has long been used in traditional medicine to support milk production, and it is considered well-tolerated.

How much fenugreek should I take to boost my milk supply?

Fenugreek can be found in various forms, and the seeds are widely used in the diet and can be taken as supplements. There is no recommended dosage per se, but it has been studied at levels around 1,000mg to 6,000mg/day (1-6 grams/day). This dosage is often divided over 2 to 3 times per day. As previously mentioned, always consult with your healthcare professional before using fenugreek in supplement form.

What possible side effects can a woman experience when she is taking fenugreek while breastfeeding?

In rare cases, individuals allergic to peanuts or other legumes may experience allergic reactions. Additionally, some women might experience digestive issues such as gas or the smell of maple in their sweat and urine. However, in general, fenugreek is well tolerated. If you experience any allergic reactions, stop use immediately and consult your physician.

What is the position of fenugreek among other galactagogue products?

Fenugreek is a popular, traditionally used herb that has been the subject of interest and research due to its role in breastfeeding. It may be used along with other galactagogues, such as blessed thistle. Although individual responses may vary, it is noteworthy that fenugreek has a long history of long-term safe and traditional use to support nursing mothers with adequate breast milk production. It can be incorporated into your diet as food and/or as a supplement.

Can other breastfeeding herbs or nutrients be taken alongside fenugreek?

This is a possibility. Fenugreek has been studied alongside other herbal galactagogues, such as blessed thistle or fennel seed, suggesting benefits. These herbal breastfeeding supplements can often be paired with a prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement. Again, it is always important to check with your physician before adding or combining supplements. For optimal success and support for breastfeeding mothers, follow a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and stay well-hydrated.

How long should I take fenugreek before I see a change in breast milk supply?

The time it takes to change breast milk supply after starting fenugreek can vary widely due to individual differences and various influencing factors. While some women may notice an improvement within a few days to a week, it might take longer for others. If, for some reason, you notice a decrease in supply, which may or may not be related, it is recommended to stop the use of the supplement. Because so many factors impact breast milk production and supply, it is important to consult a lactation specialist to rule out issues related to latch, milk let-down, feeding frequency, stress, and more.

How much fenugreek is generally taken to support lactation?

While recommendations vary and there is no established level, the suggested dosage for UpSpring Milkflow fenugreek and blessed thistle capsules is three capsules per day to support lactation. Each capsule contains a concentrated proprietary blend of 165 mg, including fenugreek seed, blessed thistle, and anise seed, totaling 495 mg daily. As with all supplements, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking supplements and to best support your lactation needs. . .

Can I take fenugreek supplements while pregnant?

Fenugreek supplements should not be taken during pregnancy. According to the National Institutes of Health, consuming fenugreek in amounts greater than those found in food is not considered safe during pregnancy due to potential risks. Because fenugreek is often recommended for increasing milk supply, it should be reserved for nursing mothers.

When nursing, how do I know if Fenugreek is working and if I should continue using it?

Fenugreek can be added as part of a healthy diet, and if supplementing with a fenugreek product, ensure it is from a reliable company. A nursing mother should always educate herself and consult with her doctor before and during use to discuss the breastfeeding experience. Many factors are involved in milk production, so while it is difficult to say what is helping, some indications of what you are doing to support milk production include the baby's weight gain, number of wet diapers, and satisfaction after feeding. Altogether, recognizing that everyone is different while persevering, it is always good to track progress with one's practitioner and/or lactation expert. Hence, breastfeeding mothers have preferred and encouraged the consumption of fenugreek supplements simply because of their wide use and safety profile for supporting breast milk production. If taken in the right measure and under the doctor's guidance, this herb can support breast milk supply and thus augment the positive experiences related to breastfeeding for both the mother and the baby. This should encourage and provide positive feedback to breastfeeding mothers to persevere and keep running the race to give the baby what is best for the baby.
