Happy Thanksgiving Susan,
I want to thank you for being here, and for addressing the difficult questions
I got up again last night to read the latest threads, but then my internet connection got slow. So went back to bed, and got up late this morning. So my sleeping rhythm is all messed up too. Maybe it's this indian summer: I still saw a starflower on a borage plant yesterday. They normally flower in spring and summer
It's possible that horse tail makes you sleepy. I never took enough to find out much about the side effects.
Fenugreek will certainly take away your energy. I take it in the afternoon now. It increases insulin immediately, so the first 15 minuts I have enough energy to put away my stuff and make something to eat. If I wouldn't eat after fenugreek, I'd get tired because of low blood sugar. I still do, and usually take a nap until the food gives me energy again. So if you need to keep going, it's probably better to eat before fenugreek.
I haven't tried soy milk recently. It's quite effective: one cup (237 ml) contains 20 times more phyto-estrogen than 2,000 mg hops:

But because it slows the thyroid, many people lose weight on it, so their breasts don't grow.
