A believable source would be something that is very estrogenic ex birth control, high quality pueraria mirifica
Something that sensitizes estrogen receptors ex progesterone
Something that can stimulate prolactin
Hey Carla
How are you doin'? I know using certain herbs or products can cause frustration from the extended use of products, taking too many pills, and not enough results. It is totally understandable, I've myself have seen a few night or mornings...when I just want to say "bullsh!t" More "bullsh!t." From no progress and excessive amount of pills, but it is something you have to look to for an end result, sort of like a diet or even an educational degree. Sometimes, you aren't going to see results, quickly, if you are only taking one or two herbs, not pumping/suctioning, or massaging/stimulation. Then, you can't really expect quick results (especially when it is not consistent), because the products are barely getting into your body, or are being render uneffective, because of a lack of stimulation, which helps blood flow and widen vessel to those specific areas of the body. Which is why fenugreek is sometimes better used as liquid or topical solution, because it doesn't interrupt the digestive system nearly as much and it is being absorbed straight into the body, mostly through the skin. This applies with some of the other products as well, they are simply more effective as oils, lotions, and creams than trying to take 5 to 20 grams of pills. In the beginning, is the time when products should be poured on heavy by taking capsules (not too many though), use the creams and lotions, and routines (like massaging, pumping, and suctioning) should be done frequently, so the herbs, glandulars, and vitamins can be more concentrated to what you want to occur on your body. That way once your body is starting to get better skin, less body hair, less PMS reactions, or bigger breasts/butt. You can start to take a little off, and slack off a few weeks or months down the road to where you get to a point where you don't even have to take herbs or do massages every week or month (one site suggested that near the end once you have achieved your results or come close to achieving them that one simply needs an on or off program, that allows the user to take one or two months off the routines-no pills, massaging, or pumping). Though, you can't give up or stop when results are not coming quickly, you have to either safely increase dosages or alter your program a little bit and substitute certain things or completely drop somes or change over to creams and liquids (which has a specific amount of extract) that can be applied directly into the skin (which means it seeks directly into the bloodstream).

Also, not to rain on your parade, intentionally. Fenugreek actually does that as a reputable and scientifically identified galac to gogue (gag), which are all directly responsible for interfering with dopamine. It's also recognized emmenagogue, which is said to be somewhat fatal to pregnant women with too many doses. I agree alone it may not produce the results most women are looking for, but it does work in some at times (low odds doesn't necessarily mean something is impossible). Though, more times than not, most NBE user on this site and off of it, usually do not cling to one single herb, because results are usually somewhat slower and not as noticeable. Which is why most NBE users, NBE companies, and etc will use more than one product, even with bovine ovary. Most naturalist type doctors even say that the product is more enhanced with herbs than buy itself, while most of glandular supplements are included with a number of herbs or vitamins for again complimentary effects.

It can't be entirely useless, if it has been used so many centuries and people have said that it does create more milk flow. Even though science hasn't found much, many studies have also admitted to there not being alot of in-depth research for it.
