Has anyone tried alfalfa leaf?

I came across this information about alfalfa leaf and wondered if anyone has used it.
(I'm cutting and pasting)
Alfalfa Leaf (Medicago sativa L.)
Alfalfa leaf is said to promote the development of the glandular tissue of the breasts. It can be taken both during pregnancy and after birth by mothers with a history of low milk supply. Taken after birth, it increases milk supply and is reported to increase the fat content of breastmilk. Incidentally, so do other so-called "green foods."
Alfalfa leaf is one of our most nutritious herbs. It contains chlorophyll, a host of minerals-calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, zinc-numerous vitamins-A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, D, E, and K-as well as essential and non-essential amino acids.
Alfalfa leaf is estrogenic and antifungal. It has substances that nourish the liver, activate the kidneys, suppress inflammation, address digestive disorders, and balance blood sugar. It is traditionally prescribed to promote the function of the pituitary gland, the source of the main hormones for lactation.

I've been taking it forever and if it was a boob grower, I should be rather large by now.
NOT!
I take it for bloating- that's the only reason I take it. In the summer it helps w/ swelling.
I only take 4-6 pills/day. Maybe I need to up my dosage?!!

Alfalfa is an ingredient in Wonderup, so therefore many women in this forum have taken it.

Yes, wonderup does contain alfalfa leaf extract- however- the dosage is very SMALL.
One pill for me is 520 mg. I take 4-6 of those per day.
One pill of wonderup is 60mg(15mgX4 b/c it's an extract)- it is also the LAST ingredient listed.

The article makes it sound so wonderful, but I hadn't heard it mentioned here before. Have you had success?

My guess is that if it were to work for that purpose, it would prolly work well w/ someone w/ low estrogen. I have a bit much estrogen, the vitex has helped to even that business out quite a bit.
I don't know if anyone has tried just taking the alfalfa for boob growth alone, though.
