Hi Eva,
I buy all the herbs from local herb shops, drug stores, and supermarkets:
Fenugreek, fennel, and black seed from http://www.amazingoriental.com/
Hops and goat's rue from http://www.jacob-hooy.nl/
Maca from http://www.vanderpigge.nl/
Oats and flax seed from http://www.dekamarkt.nl/
Multivitamin and L-arginine from http://www.detuinen.nl/
I'm sure fenugreek is easy to find in Israel: it's in pastrami
I just use teaspoons and tablespoons to measure the herbs, weigh a bag and make a note when I start it, and back-calculate the dose when it's empty. For seeds and powders, one teaspoon is a good starting dose. For hops, I use a tablespoon. For goat's rue, I have a 5 ml measuring spoon that came with the maca. It's the size of an egg spoon.
I have no experience with L-tyrosine, and little with vitex. L-tyrosine is normally used for hypothyroidism, and vitex is for the luteal phase. I usually advise to try something milder like fenugreek or wild yam first. Then a phyto-progestin, like fennel, and if all else fails, progesterone cream.
