Best NaturalsFenugreek Seed Capsules Non-GMO 610 mg - 360 Capsules

I had severe gastritis as a result of chemo for breast cancer, and ended up with such excruciating symptoms that I was ambulanced into hospital with a suspected ruptured ulcer. Needless to say, I was put on Omeprazole alongside my (unfortunately) regular pain killer of Oramorph - my system doesn’t tolerate any painkillers outside of the opiate family.Also needless to say, Omeprazole led to various nutritional deficiencies, including iron-deficient anaemia. I was put on prescription iron tablets. Within a week, what I thought was my long-dormant IBS had returned with a vengeance. Cramps and bloating galore, gastric distress, the works. I came off both drugs and looked for natural treatments for the discomfort and vile acid reflux that burned my throat and even affected my teeth. I was given Buscopan for the IBS. That was around 8 years ago.Fenugreek proved the answer for the gastritis, acid reflux, and gastric discomfort. I can’t recommend it highly enough for this. It helps damaged stomach and oesophageal linings by producing a mucosal layer - when your stomach lining, which is ordinarily covered with a thick layer of mucilage, becomes damaged and thinned, normal stomach acid production hits these unprotected areas and it hurts. Presumably this applies to the oesophagus and throat too, though the linings of those are thinner than the stomach lining. The mucilage produced by Fenugreek soothes and protects.My GP and my consultant were, of course, flummoxed; their training tells them that the only answers are pharmaceutical products - no surprise, as all medical schools are funded by Big Pharma, and their aim is to have doctors promote their drugs.Oh, and the IBS that I initially thought had been triggered by the prescription iron tables turned out to be SIBO, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. This is caused by hypochlorhydria, low stomach acid, and results in the right bacteria end up living in the wrong location in the gut. It causes enormously embarrassing digestive nasties like extraordinarily foul wind, constipation, diarrhoea, and the most alarming series of noisy and loud whooshes, gurgles, rumbles and squeals several hours after eating. It genuinely sounds like a set of ancient Victorian plumbing, and smells like blocked-up drains! 😳Have proved intolerant to the standard Rifaximin treatment (I feared I would be, but got to the point where I was desperate enough to try it), organic home-made kefir didn’t help, and I’m too exhausted to get up every morning to juice x5 heads of celery (the juice increases stomach acid which in turn sends the displaced bacteria back to their correct location in the gut), so I’m about to try Betaine HCL + Pepsin and see if that helps.The last thing I need on top of SIBO is a return of the gastritis and reflux, so I always keep a tub of Fenugreek at home. I wouldn’t be without it.The dose listed on the bottle is x3 caps, but I’ve always taken x6 at a time. The relief is nearly instant, and it only improves with regular daily or twice daily dosing. -After a few days I have zero acid in my throat. Zero. Nada. Zilch. None. ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO INFLICT OMEPRAZOLE, LANSAPRAZOLE, OR ANY OTHER PPIs ON YOUR ALREADY DAMAGED SYSTEM!The only side-effect to mention is that, at least at the x6 a day dose that I intermittently take, I smell like maple syrup within about 12 hours of taking it. It’s not an unpleasant smell, it’s quite sweet and a bit earthy/ musky, but it isn’t my normal skin-smell. Neither I nor my partner mind it. It’s just different from my usual aroma.Hope this helps someone! 😊

Love these pills as they have definitely helped with my supply! It’s true that they leave a curry odour on your armpits etc but I found that using a good quality deodorant combatted it. I use to take 2 tablets (when my son was 1/2weeks) alongside the pregnacare breastfeeding tablet’s and now take 6 tablets now that my son is 16 weeks & have noticed a massive milk increase! For as long as I breast feed I was live by these! I know how it feels to only produce a small amount of milk , these have saved me and my sons life!

Arrived fast. Large one year supply. Haven't used yet but seems fine so far.

This is really good quality Fenugreek. I'm breastfeeding and bought this to boost milk supply. And it sure did!Although after a couple of weeks using it, my armpits started smelling of maple syrup. Great! But another few weeks down, I started smelling of fenugreek/curry. That wasn't great. (Although baby was still drinking my milk!). I had to stop taking it as I couldn't stand my own stench anymore. It was that bad. Which just means that this is really good quality, high potent fenugreek capsules!So yes!! Buy buy buy! It's highly recommended.

Very good for the early days of breastfeeding. You need to take 3 tablets 3 times a day (so, 9 in a day!), which unfortunately means that you will smell of curry! But, they did make a difference for me.

used to fill my own capsules but these are convenient without being expensive

Sadly didnt work for me

I used these in the hope they would increase my milk supply...not sure if they had much impact but took them anyway. They are not as good as the ones I purchased from Holland and Barrett but they are OK. They also make my sweat and wee smell like curry/maple syrup so me warned :-). In the end the doctor prescribed Domperidone which has worked a treat.
