Natural breast enhancement: Does it work?
Natural breast enhancement: Does it work?QuestionDo natural breast enhancement supplements work? AnswerThere's no evidence that natural breast enhancement supplements lead to breast enlargement. Although breast enlargement may be a side effect of certain prescription drugs — such as estrogen, birth control pills and antidepressants — no published studies have shown that natural breast enhancement supplements have the same effect. It's important to note that natural breast enhancement supplements may contain herbs known as phytoestrogens, which could increase the risk of some types of breast cancer. Serious drug interactions are possible as well, especially if you take a blood-thinning medication such as warfarin (Coumadin). If you're interested in breast enhancement, consult your doctor about more effective options. RelatedLast Updated: 2009-10-31 © 1998-2012 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER).
