Most successful people used 1800 mg or more fenugreek, often 3,000 mg or sometimes 1 tablespoon (6,000 mg). Everything else seems fine. B vitamins from whole grain/nut/bean foods or from friendly bacteria (read about yogurt, FOS) are essential for metabolism. A little omega 3's (flax) and omega 6's (most oils/nuts) too plus 100 misc. things found in a healthy diet. Vitex or dong quai are to increase progesterone and decrease estrogen, countering the most common imbalance. You might want to get your levels tested first.
Thank you! Can I use a progesterone cream instead of vitex or dong quai because I don't want to take it because it will decrease my estrogen, countering the PM I will use.
