Thanks again, Isabelle! You've been a huge help. I've decided I might as well start with Fenugreek, considering they both lower insulin levels. The "waist slimming" properties of GR are definitely very appealing as I'm really wanting to keep my waist narrow during my journey, but I guess since FG is so much easier to find (and quite a bit cheaper!) I will begin with that. If I'm having significant problems with it I will for sure give GR a shot. Also, thank you for giving me the guidelines on amounts to take. After reviewing that, I think that even though I was taking small amounts of FG last time, I was taking way too much of the other herbs which I'm sure didn't help my ED at all.
I went to the health food store again now that I have a more defined shopping list and was surprised to find that they don't have fennel in any of the brands they carry! Even Nature's Way. It kind of seems like I remember having to order fennel the first time around too so they must not have had it back then either. I looked on the GNC website and they have it listed there, so I'm going to go in and see if they've got it in-store as well. The only problem I see with it is that the Nature's Way fennel contains 480mg and you said I should keep my fennel at 400mg. Should I not buy that brand and find something lower instead?
I was surprised to find that they now carry barley grass tablets this time around! They're a little more expensive than the Nature's Way ones on vitacost.com but I'm pretty sure it comes with more tablets. I also double checked the NeoCell collagen and they had the right kind! So I went ahead and bought that. I plan on starting the borage oil, flaxseed oil, and collagen before I start the herbs so they can get a headstart. If GNC has fennel, I won't have to order anything for my NBE program! That would be great!
