I have to admit, I was scared to death to try this product. It was sitting on my shelf just
staring at me for quite a while.
I was so thankful that the company wanted me to try their product, but when I started researching fenugreek, I got spooked. I heard that it could make you gain weight, cause clogged ducts and over supply. I never had a problem with supply, but I loved knowing that there was a product to help if need be. Well, with BK#2 my chest was exploding from day one. I’m talking pumping 12 to 20 ounces every 3 hours and two times as much if I went longer. I don’t even want to know how much he was actually eating! (Usually, babies eat more than you can pump.) So the thought of increasing my supply was simply frightening.
Then there is that little disclaimer you can read about from other brands… “Some weight gain is normal”…What??? I am still trying to loose weight from BK#1 and you want me to take a pill that might make me gain weight?! Nope! It was a psychological thing and thankfully I got past it!
When BK#2 finally slowed down with his nursing schedule (I nursed on demand), I found that my supply dropped drastically! I’m pretty sure my body was really confused when he stared eating actual food. Before, I used to be able to pump when I got up in the morning to have a stash and I went from producing 15 oz every morning to 4 ounces. Only 4 ounces! This happened for almost a week. I was frantic to be honest.
I got over my worry of weight gain (because I never really saw anything scientific stating this was a side affect, just moms and reviews of other brands) and popped those amazing pills for a day.
THESE PILLS ARE AWESOME!
The NEXT MORNING I was back to my usual 15 ounces. Not even 24 hours and I had amazing results already.
If you’ve never heard of fenugreek, you’re probably clueless. Fenugreek is an all-natural herb. If you do a little Googling, you will find that there are many healthy side affects to fenugreek, it’s not just for increasing breast milk. It has been known to help with digestion, prostate (for men), it can increase libido and many more benefits. It is just most commonly known for helping increase breast milk supply.
Pros: Vitalize makes a very inexpensive fix to a very stressful problem. For $17.95, you get 120 pills. The bottle will last you at least a month, maybe two.
You only have to take it until your supply regulates. My supply didn’t diminish after I stopped taking the pills! I really appreciated this aspect, because I already take many medications daily.
ALL NATURAL and GMO FREE
Vegetarian capsules.
Curbs your appetite. No joke, I found myself feeling fuller and not having cravings that come with the nursing hormones!
If you don’t like taking pills, then you can just pop open the capsule and mix it into a smoothie.
Made in the USA
Cons: It is a large pill. So if you are one who taking hates pills, I recommend just popping it in a smoothie or a spoon of peanut butter.
I did experience a little bit of a “maple” after-taste, but if I took it with juice I didn’t notice it as much.
Vita-Lize introduced me to an all-natural product and I am so thankful they did! Keep up with them on Instagram. They have new products planned for the future! You can follow them here, @vita_lize. I am pretty sure I am going to be adding Vita-Lize to gifts for baby showers!
As always… fed is best and no shaming breastfeeding mamas!
