Good as a breastfeeding supplement
I got this as a breastfeeding supplement, since the reason barley and oats are supposed to help is because they contain beta glucan, especially barley. I found it here in a concentrated form while looking for different ingredients to make lactation cookies. Buying this was ultimately easier and cheaper than buying the ingredients for lactation snacks.<br />  This supplement, along with pumping a little extra here and there, more than doubled my milk supply. I went from barely pumping enough to feed my baby to pumping 16-20 ounces extra daily after about 10-14 days. Also, the milk I made began to look different, the fat rose to the surface when stored in the fridge but the color of the milk stayed the same, whereas now that I have not used this supplement for a week to see what would happen, my milk looks much clearer after the fat rises.<br />  The reason I'm not giving this five stars is because of the texture. It wants to settle at the bottom of the glass, and it changes the consistency of everything. One person in the reviews mentioned putting it in their coffee- it sat at the bottom and made the consistency of the coffee itself very thick. I found it best in juice, after letting it sit for a minute it absorbed a lot of the juice and thickened to a smoothie texture. Would definitely be best in an actual smoothie, but as it stands I hate washing blenders.<br />  Overall, it worked for what I wanted. Would recommend to mothers who want to boost the supply and quality of their milk.
