Has Anyone Tried Lactiful?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Just wondering if anyone here has tried Lactiful? www.lactiful.com Everything I've read about it has been really good, so I ordered some tonight. They have a money-back guarantee, so I figured that it's worth a try!

Just curious to know if anyone else here has ever tried it? What was your experience?

I have IGT, so I'm not necessarily holding out hope for a miracle. But, I would settle for a decent increase in supply. My DS is currently 2.5 weeks old and we're supplementing about 12oz/day. Would love to cut that down, even to nothing!

Never tried it, but I'm curious to hear about your results.



I see it has fenugreek & alfalfa... blessed thistle, fennel, aniseed... all good.
How many would you take a day? i.e. dosage?

According to the website, you take 12 caps a day. That's not bad considering that I wake well over 30 for my other herbs right now. LOL I'll give it a try and update this thread!

VERY expensive! But if it works for me, it'll be totally worth it.

I'd love to try it... But DH might shoot me! Especially if I had to stay on it because it worked...

I did the math and it's a 20 day supply... 12 a day at 20 days... $100 for less than a month supply... DH would surely have my behind! Though if I could replace everything else I'm taking it might not be so bad...

Wonder if theres any on ebay... hrm...

If you buy 3 at a time, one of them is free, so it would work out to $97 for a 30-day supply if you know you'll use it that long. If it works for me, that's exactly what I'm going to do - then I can get rid of some of the other stuff I'm on to offset the cost.

I just wish I could be one of those women who could BF for free. Wouldn't that be great???

I'd love to get rid of the domperidone and more milk plus... though 2 things are the most costly... I take additional fenugreek and shatavari but both are pretty cheap.

Well, it didn't do anything miraculous for me.  Probably because I was already on many of the same herbs to begin with.  I wrote to the company and told them it didn't work, then they refunded 100% of my money.

 

I think it's definitely worth it for anyone to try, especially with the guarantee!  The herbs in this product are a really good combination.

I've tried it and loved it. They've changed the formula some from when this post was created. It's now 15 tablets a day - but I guess it's stronger, and you get more in the bottle. Anyway, it worked great for me. I used it two separate times, once at the beginning because my supply was so low, and this really brought my milk in. I stayed on Lactiful Supply Max for a while but then was able to slowly wean off of it. Then when I returned to work I started getting really stressed which affected my milk supply, and then I was really stressed because I wasn't pumping enough! So I tried Lactiful again, and my pumping bottles started getting fuller and fuller! And my stress level went lower and lower! Then I did stay on a lower dose just to make pumping faster and more productive. I found while I was on it I had so much better results with pumping. I really can't say enough good things about Lactiful, I know it's expensive, but for me it was totally worth it!
