I just thought it would be a more natural approach and you would get more goodness from the actual plant, I actually read about it in a herbalist book. They had suggested to eat the sprouts and make tea from them, just wondered if I was wasting my time or if anyone knew which would give you the most desirable quantinites of estrogen etc for to see a growth? Does the capsules contain powdered seeds or do they contain concentrated values of the "good stuff" fenugreek has to offer? If it is the powdered seeds it would save everyone a whole bunch of money x
