That depends on the phytoestrogen. And fenugreek isn't really estrogen or any particular hormone. It's more like an adaptogen, fitting to whatever you have.

I was taking soaking 4-8 tablespoons of seeds in water for a while which is about 40,000-80,000 mg (seeds are denser than powder). I would have tried more but I was getting full. I wouldn't start with so much though. I used it for testicles and so testosterone and so on and found no matter how much I increased it the more I used the greater the results (likewise it isn't phytotestosterone, it's whatever you have). A lot of the more successful NBE programs use at least 1 tablespoon and those using it for milk typically use around 6,000 mg. There are some that do well with 3,000 mg but typically it's in combination with equal amounts of similar herbs like wild yam and/or goat's rue, so they add up.

It's also one of the best sources of iron there is, but only if eaten in food amounts.

Actual phytoestrogens are different. You can hit the limit pretty quick on those and the limit varies from around a few hundred mg to a couple thousand mg.

So would it be correct to assume that 1 tablespoon roughly equals to 10,000mg? Also, do you still get the same potency if using it as a tea vs consuming it?
