Fenugreek Benefits for Sexual Function, Painful Periods, and Milk Production

The hormonal benefits of fenugreek extend beyond the muscle-bulking testosterone boost. My other videos on fenugreek are Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds () and Side Effect of Fenugreek Consumption (). CORRECTION: Thanks to the eagle eyes of our new in-house video fact-checker, the dosing in the galactagogue study around minute 2:50 in the video was way off (due to confusion over per capsule or per diem dosing). So, it should be “In this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which breastfeeding women who took about a half teaspoon of both fenugreek and ground ginger, along with about a quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric every day doubled their milk production within a month.” New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift.
