I just came across something on the Greenbush site. They have an "Enhancement Blend" that is a capsule made up of equal parts of Fennugreek, Wild Yam, and Saw Palmetto. It's 575 mg total, so there's about 190mg of each herb per capsule. You take 2 capsules 3 times a day. So, seems like a fair dose of each herb. A bottle of only 300 (50 day supply basically)is only $24.95! Has anyone tried these? I'm wondering if this put together with some extra fennel, maybe in a tea form along with the massages and heat would be a good program to try. Let me know what you think! :)

Hey Lisa,

I tried those for 6 months with no results at all. I also drank fennel tea and did heat massage etc. I'm sure it works for some people but no for me!!

Hi Lisa, yes they do sound good but I wouldn't recommend them because there is no room to play around with your dosages, you can get those herbs seperate from some sites online for about the same price, maybe a little cheaper, depending on the amounts your planning on taking :)

I'm glad to hear your feedback! I'm leaning towards going the individual herb route, I just don't know what to start with dosage-wise. I'm on BG+ and from what I've read here the herb doses in it seem too low.

So I just looked at the site again and they do also sell each of those three herbs separately in 575mg capsules, a bottle of 100 is $9.95. The question would be, what daily dose of each one to start on, and how will I know which ones to either increase or decrease? NBE can be confusing, lol.

Well if you start with the individual herbs then just start with one pill at a time and work from there increasing your dosage everyday or everyother day until you start to feel pains and then keep those dosages for a month or so and see how it goes...start with one a day, then two then three and so on...

Good idea, thank you! Do you suggest any particular herbs or substances to rub in? I'm using my PM serum sample right now but it will be gone soon. I've got the Palmer's firming lotion for massages as well. I'm going to add heat after the massages starting this weekend.

I'd like to be able to suggest herbs for you, but everyones body work differntly so what worked for me may not work for you...I would suggest you do some research about the herbs, some common ones for BE are fenugreek/fennel, saw palmetto (I think you can use nettle as a replacement, not sure), wild yam, flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, barage oil,...etc. just look around here at some programs, maybe find someone who has the same stats as you (height,weight,age) and see what they've jad success with...

you can get it cheaper at http://www.vitaminworld.com fenugreek - mgs-capsules, fennel-480 mgs-100capsules $4.54, saw palmetto- 450mgs- 100capsules $7.96, wild yam- 405mgs-100capsules$7.78. they are normally buy 1 get 1 half price. but if you wait for the first tues and wed. of the month, it is buy 1 get 1 free. good luck on your routine.

Thank you! Any idea if taking wild yam and also rubbing in the wild yam cream would be ok? I'm thinking of doing the separate herbs Fennugreek/Fennel/Saw Palmetto/Wild Yam, an AM dose and a PM dose and rubbing in wild yam cream. I like the PM serum for rubbing in, but it's expensive.

I wouldn't see what the bad side of massaging with the WY cream would be...I know that there have been women that have done it and taken the internals...

Just a note, a lot of the times people either take fenugreek or fennel not both, I think they have very similar properties, I didn't know if you knew that or not, just some info, check into it if you'd like, I'm not an expert ;)

I've heard they are similar, but then I also heard they are both important. Who knows, lol.

Yeah I know, this is all really just "guess and go" ;)

Greenbush claims to be really strict about freshness and quality, so even if they cost more, I think that they are worth getting. More likely to be quite potent. I know of a lot of women who use their products and they're very happy with the quality and the service the company gives.

You can also get the liquid extract versions of their pills which are easier to use and digest, apparently. I just ordered them myself after reading great things about them on another BE forum.
