The reason I asked is that it's probably the most commonly taken herb for natural breast growth. It's often the starting point for herbal programs. For most users it doesn't have any side effects.

Okay, I see what you're saying. Regarding Fenugreek, from what I've noticed on Reddit and here is that:
A. A person has to take it in copious amounts (2-4 capsules a day or more).
- Pro: It does help with lactation & breast growth in a short time span.
- Con: 
1. After a certain threshold of build up some people have reported smelling like maple syrup...I'm not sure if I want to smell like maple syrup in the long run, haha. 
2. Loss of appetite. 
3. Loss of weight (which would make sense do to loss of appetite. 
^ For me, as a person who is attempting to bulk and has a high metabolism this is is a no, no for me. So huge con, sadly. 
4. Some people experience irregular BP levels (seeing as it does reduce that). 

An alternative I'm considering is Goats Rue. 
Pros: 
- Stems from same plant family as Fenugreek.

- In 2020, women in Europe & France who were potentially and/or currently breastfeeding moms consumed it to (help) induce lactation. 

- It's considered a galactagogue meaning it prompts production of breast milk. (+1 it also helps to expand breast tissue, which makes sense if it's urging your body to prep for lactation). 

It being a galactagogue makes it a specialized branch off of phytoestrogen for the female body (is how I'm cross comparing it) given the fact that their foods are similar and it does assist with female body growth and a reproductive function.

(Foods include: nuts, seeds, legumes, leafy greens, whole oats, and protein rich meats to name a few). 

^ For me, this goes into a smooth cross over of foods I already or should consume more of that I noticed are helping me on this journey. (I'll make an update shortly explaining that). 

- Some women have said this works better for them than Fenugreek as it has produced better results for them in their lactation & NBE process.

Cons:
- Like Fenugreek it is a medication to help reduce BP levels. *Caution to be taken like with any other medication/herbal supplement with other vitamins & meds. 

- Can be lethal to animals, must be careful with dosage and daily consumption due to a "clinical trial" with humans versus everyone's own personal experience. 

- Derives from the Soybean/Alfalfa/Fenugreek family...I am allergic to Soy...soooo I'm not sure. But it isn't soy exactly so I'm willing to give it a wallup seeing as my husband is an EMT & I have epipens...(pretty sure my husband is going to give me serious push back on buying it but I'm going to try to convince him lol).
