Hello Ladies,
I get really tired during the day/evenig and often need a nap mid evening. I'm wondering if it is something to do with the hebs I am on. I've been getting tired like this for a long time so it could be totally un-associated.
I've been on NBe for over a year now and recently went ( a month ago) from BGP to adding single herbs too ( and feel more tired!)
Not getting any growing pains any more but think there is very slow progress gonig on there!
BGP 2 x a.m 2 x p.m
Milk Thistle 175mg 1 a.m 1p.m - total of 350mg
Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 1 a.m 1p.m - total of 2000mg
Wild Yam Root 405mg 2 a.m 2p.m - total of 1620mg
Fenugreek 610mg 2 a.m 2p.m - total of 2440mg
Saw Palmetto 450mg 1 a.m 1p.m - total of 900mg
Black Cohosh 40mg 1a.m - total of 40mg
Sea Kelp 100mg 2 a.m - total of 200mg
your fenugreek dosage is likely too high... it's a tricky herb (okay, they're all tricky), works well in smaller quantities so it seems that increasing it can only help... but there comes a time when you're oversaturated with extra estrogen and adding more may actually decrease growth. and yeah, it makes you pretty tired/moody!
Hello again Lil Dunny and others. I've just been doing a bit of research online and most pages I come across re: Fenugreek say you must take 2/3 tabelts 2/3 times a day thats 3000mg plus.It seems like I may not be taking eonugh to make a diffrence! Breast feeding sites say 6 tablets per day o stimulate the milk. I know we want boob growth not milk, but other sites say take two, three times a day. What do we do.....are we taking enough? The bottle also states I can take up to 6 tablets a day.
if you're feeling excessively tired, i personally would advise against taking more fenugreek. your body is providing you with information about its condition; listening to it is a wise thing to do. BGP already contains 800mg of fenugreek per day, so your total at this point is 3240 mg/day. that's a substantial amount of fenugreek! i would recommend adding other herbs instead; fennel, for instance, has similar effects to fenugreek but won't make you tired. in the end, though, it is your program; you are your own experimenter and your own lab rat. good luck with whichever program you choose to follow.
Hi Lil Dunny,
Thanks for the speedy response. I see what you are saying, as I am taking the BGP tablets too. I shall cut back and see how it goes and then when the BGP tablets run out possibly add the fenugreek back in again.I'll have a play around with other herbs and see if i can come up with something less tiring....could just be my busy life!!
