UpSpring Milkflow Energy Breastfeeding Supplement Drink Mix with Fenugreek, Chocolate Flavor, Lactation Supplement to Support Breast Milk Supply and B Vitamins, 16 Drink Mixes

These are a must have for all nursing moms. They taste pretty good while helping with the quality of your milk. It’s hard to take care of yourself when you’re always thinking about them. But this helps both of you. I originally bought it in a brick and mortar store 28$ for one box that was covered in dust. So this is a considerably good value.

The media could not be loaded. I was taking a fenugreek vitamin before but I had to take 2 vitamins, 3 times a day and I am horrible with remembering my vitamins. I have an alarm for my prenatal and magnesium and iron but having three alarms throughout the day in the middle of everything I have going on was just intrusive. So I decided to give this a try. It’s easy. I just mix two packets into two bottles at the beginning of my day, and just drink one at breakfast and one at dinner. Way simpler.On top of it, my left nipple is inverted and my left breast has produced significantly less than my right one ever since my baby was born. And she doesn’t latch because my right nipple is too big for her mouth and obviously the left inverted one is going to be difficult as well. So I exclusively pump for her to avoid the stress it was putting her under trying to force her.Let me just say. I was able to get maybe 2-3oz from my left one before. And I just pumped 10 minutes ago and I got 5.5oz from my left one. And over 6oz from my right. I have only been drinking for 3 days and already have an abundance again! It smells like maple syrup, BUT THATS NORMAL. There’s a lot of reviews saying it has a weird nasty smell, but that is maple syrup ladies. That is the odor from the fenugreek. And taking fenugreek you will also smell a bit like syrup yourself. It’s NORMAL. Don’t let those reviews scare you off. It barely tastes like anything, has a slight sweetness to it. It is easy to down. I just chug the whole thing to get it out of the way. Tastes SLIGHTLY of maple syrup as well but it’s not over powering. You barely taste it. Please, if you are desperate to see an increase in your milk supply, give this a chance. Lots of women complaining of the smell and taste, but even if it doesn’t suit your taste buds, I think it’s worth it if it means your little one gets more milk in my opinion. As moms we have to do whatever it takes for them. And as long as it’s not harming you, I think we can put up with a flavor that’s not of the sweetest variety and a smell that’s not a field of roses. Our kids come first.Give it a chance and see for yourself, what can it hurt? All I know is my baby is eating REAL GOOD. 🫡👍🏼

The berry has an odd taste likely from the fenugreek. I mix it into half of a body armour drink + water to fill it the rest of the way to make it taste better (I use zero sugar cherry berry lemonade if anyone is wondering). The chocolate is very tasty however contains milk and my baby is sensitive to the proteins in cow milk so I was unable to keep drinking it. They both cause a little gas but not too bad.

I definitely noticed a significant increase in my milk supply but I am not a fan of the taste. Overall it’s not bad tasting it has a slight hint of maple syrup. The taste isn’t overwhelming and I continue to use it for the fact that it does help me produce more milk.

I was using a couple different lactation supplements/snacks/drinks, so I’m not sure if it was this product that helped or a mix of everything. Either way, this taste pretty good in milk. Didn’t try it with water, but with milk it was really good. Just have to shake it really well to get it to not clump up so much.Definitely worth trying if you have a low supply!

This is the only product I've found so far that contains the milk-supply-increasing ingredients fennel and anise but doesn't actually taste or smell like fennel or anise. Anise (tastes like black licorice) makes me gag - smelling or tasting it - and it seems like all the milk teas out there are that flavor. This stuff doesn't taste awesome or anything, but it certainly doesn't make me gag. I'm more than happy to keep drinking if it actually increases my milk supply. I'll update this review with details about effectiveness after I've been drinking it for a week.Update: After using 2 packets a day for 9 days with no increase in supply, I ordered another box and started taking it 3 times a day. I have definitely noticed an increase in my pumping output. It's not like it doubled my output or anything, but there is definitely more. This slight increase is acceptable to me. You can judge your milk supply based on pumping output. If you're able to pump a ton of milk, you probably have a case of oversupply, which is not good either. A slight increase in supply is OK, but a huge increase can lead to all sorts of problems like let down that is too forceful, clogged ducts, mastitis, etc.Update: The main active ingredients in this drink mix are fenugreek and blessed thistle. I took another reviewer's advice and just purchased fenugreek and blessed thistle capsules, also on Amazon. The capsules are also taken 3 times a day, but they are much cheaper than this drink mix. I don't mind swallowing large pills, so I prefer the capsules. They are working just as well, if not a little better, than the drink mix.

I received this yesterday and am already writing this review at 4 am because it works fast! The berry flavor is mild and easy to drink. I love the chocolate flavor! Do not drink more than one a day unless you want to wake up with a watermelons on your chest and in a puddle of milk. HOLY COW. Literally. I just pumped 13 ounces when I usually pump 8 for my first pump of the day. If your skeptical I would give it a try, everybody's body is different but this is the fastest I have seen results in my milk supply and the drink actually taste good!!
