BulkSupplements Fenugreek Powder 500g (1.1 lb) - Organic Fenugreek Seed Powder for Hair Growth, Lactation Support & Breastfeeding - Natural Herbal Supplement for Women's Health - Perfect for Smoothies, Tea & Cooking Recipes

The taste and smell of this fenugreek is quite strong and unpalatable, which is a BAD thing because when you take things in powders you tend to get more taste than you would like. It didn't seem so bad at first, but each day I dislike it more and more. So I have purchased empty capsules and a capsule filling machine, called the Capsule Machine, so that I can continue taking this supplement powder without having to taste it. It is more work and more expense to do it this way, but I wouldn't want to continue tasting the fenugreek daily and may have given it up without this alternative.It is difficult to know the exact effect of this fenugreek supplement because I take it in combination with other supplement powders. It would be difficult to determine which results belong to which supplements. However, I can say that since I have started taking it, the most noticeable thing has been an increased appetite. While it certainly was more enjoyable to have an appetite and the motivation to eat (makes eating more enjoyable), it has resulted in a bit of weight gain. I reduced the dosage of the fenugreek, primarily, and also the other suspected supplements, and my appetite returned to normal. The other supplements I began taking at the same time include chasteberry and saw palmetto, with the goal of feminization or at least an increase in hair growth on my scalp. I will update this review at a later date these results become evident. Although I am happy to receive the numerous other benefits listed on many medical information sites.Ever since discovering BulkSupplements, I buy all my supplements here if it is available. The cost is so much more reasonable. I got so much more for my money and knowing that it is 100% pure means I don't have to try to figure out how much I'm actually getting for what I'm paying. Other supplement sources tend to combine it into blends and fillers and in my opinion that is only a means to dilute the product to inflate their profits. BulkSupplements powders always appear consistent quality, and uniform in color and texture. This gives me confidence in the quality of the source product.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOW TO FIX ISSUES WITH THE BAG NOT SEALING PROPERLY---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------First off, let me start with this little tip that will save you from the potential headache of the zipper on the bag not sealing properly. When the bags are filled, they are not sealed off by using the zipper, and instead the top of the bag is sealed instead. This leads to the product moving around in the bag during shipping and handling, which ultimately leads to it getting in the zipper tracks. The simple solution is once you open up the bag for the first time, take a toothpick and use the tip to clean out the inside of the tracks, as well as the outside of the single track. Once you do this, you will find that it is much easier to get the zipper to work, and that it provides a great seal.-----------------------Product Review-----------------------So far I have been using this product for almost two weeks. This product does give off the familiar fenugreek "syrupy" smell, and does add a slightly syrup taste to whatever you mix it in. I originally chose this product for several of its benefits, which are noted on examine.com: [...]I use this as part of my After Workout stack:■ Whole Milk - 8 oz■ Coconut Oil - 1 TBSP (add after mixing and mix again)★ Whey Protein - 1 Scoop - 31g★ Choline L-Bitartrate - 1200 mg★ Pantothenic Acid (B-5) - 550 mg★ Fenugreek - 1000 mgOverall I am very satisfied with the quality and price of this product, and will continue to purchase until I find something better.As others have stated the taste of this stuff is different and you should mix it with something flavored. Other than that it mixes easily and is not gritty. Performance wise it is great. My libido has picked up and I'm getting night stiffies. I feel stronger at the gym and my cardio has improved really well. I have read that fenugreek helps with blood sugar but I'm not taking it for that so I don't know how well it does with that. Everything else is good so far. It arrived packaged well like all their products and prime got it here in three days.Recently added this supplement to my daily routine and it seems to be helping with curbing my appetite and increasing the pump that I get in the gym. I will continue to take this supplement. It has a strong taste sort of like fish food smells. I mix it with other supplements including beet root powder which helps mask the taste.Great stuff. Taste and feels quality.. it does taste a bit bitter, well a lot bitter. I recommend drinking it with juice or mixing in other powders like a proteins shake or smoothie..A definite must have supplement if your training over 50. Bulk supplement is a solid choice to get your supplements.fresh, fragrant and another homerun from Bulk Supplements!I can't say enough good about this product. I was skeptical at first, but after about a week I started seeing very clear results, and my workouts didn't change at all. I only work out or run 4-5 times a week for 20-30 minutes, and I could definitely see improvements in my recovery, tone, and overall energy. It's great! Can't wait for my next order.
