Natural breast enhancement: Does it work?

There is no evidence that natural breast enhancement supplements lead to breast enlargement. Some herbs have been used historically to improve the production of mother's milk, such as fenugreek and fennel, or as treatments for breast disorders, such as wild yam, red clover, black cohosh. But none of these supplements will make your breasts larger.

Recently, many manufacturers have been promoting various combinations of these herbs as natural breast enhancers, often claiming to dramatically increase breast size. Some of these herbs are phytoestrogens, meaning they cause effects that are similar to those that estrogen produces in your body, such as breast growth. While it might seem plausible that phytoestrogens could increase your breast size, no published studies have shown that natural breast enhancement supplements achieve this result.

Furthermore, supplements like this may also be harmful to your health. The phytoestrogens in natural breast enhancing supplements could increase your risk of some types of breast and gynecologic cancers. You may also have a serious drug interaction, especially if you take a blood-thinning medication such as warfarin. Unless better evidence becomes available assessing the risks and benefits of such supplements, it's best to pass on these products.
