Hi, everyone. I've read at multiple sites that you will start to smell like maple syrup once you've reached the right dose of fenugreek. Thus far, I don't smell at all and I've been taking 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds. I would soak them over night in water, drink the water with my morning pills, then eat the seeds for breakfast. Can anyone confirm how much to take of fenugreek seeds to be effective? thank you.

I was taking something between 7000 & 8000 mg of seeds a day ( I made a tea with them ) then like you, afterwards I was eating the seeds. After a while my pee and underarms did smell like maple.

What's the equivalent of 7000-8000mg of seeds converted to teaspoon? I just bought the bag of seeds from amazon, but have no idea how much mg I'm taking. Also, did you see results?

I got around to taking an actual measurement last night, a little late, but it may help. It works out to be @ 1/4 cup,

Hi, Janet. Thanks for the conversion. Isn't 7000mg-8000mg really high? I read somewhere that you shouldn't go over 5000mg per day of all phytoestrogens combined. Also, I read that the optimal dose is 3000mg per day. I read somewhere, too, that 1 tsp equals to 5 grams, which is 5 times more than your tsp measurement. This is all so confusing. So I've been drinking tea made of 2 tsp of fenugreek seeds twice daily and I still don't smell like maple syrup.
