Hi.
Just wondered who has had a bad reaction to fenugreek and what was it?
Alternatively if you have had good please let me know?
Thank you..
I ask as fenu is a double edged sword for me... Great intestinal cleanser but possible GI irritant a the same time...
Thanks so much.

I take 1x 529mg cap each day (focused on weight loss atm, not growth) and have had no problems. I haven't even had the strange smell that many have mentioned.
Once the weight is off I'll be upping it to 2 caps a day, so who knows what'll happen then?

I take 8 capsules a day right now. At 610mg each it's alot but my skin is better and no other problems. Also no weird smell. The capsules themselves smell like maple syrup but not me. So good from my standpoint

610 MG three times a day for last 3 months. No smell issues
I'm happy to continue at this rate another three months. I like having it in my program.

I've tried Fenugreek, the Testofen sort and for the opposite aims. I recall it being good for lifting weights (coupled with L Arginine). The Testofen form was noted for increasing T and making one smell like maple syrup!
Some users claimed it could make them unduly belligerent...which I don't doubt. I'm sure many took it as a sign something was working.
The full spectrum stuff is probably a whole different animal, but it's good to know that if you concentrate the heck out of one it's key components, it's been shown to increase testosterone.
