The jury is still out on whether these things will actually increase my supply, but they taste pretty good and with the extra ingredients - particularly the flaxseed meal - they have extra nutritional benefits.  They taste delicious, so either way they're a win. 

I found these when I went looking for ways to boost supply after a killer 6 1/2 month growth spurt.  And I'm sure it was a growth spurt because 2 weeks ago I bought new size 9 months sleepers for Nola, and now they're too small.  Go baby go!  (except not too fast because Mommy can't buy you new clothes every 2 weeks!)
