There is a wide variety of bust enhancing pills on the market, all over the Internet as well on TV and in magazines. However, the core ingredients are usually the same. Some of the most popular herbal ingredients are Blessed Thistle, Dong Quai, Fennel Seed, Fenugreek, Pueraria Mirifica, Hops, Wild Yam, Saw Palmetto, and Bovine Ovary Extract.
The Blessed Thistle has been approved to counteract appetite loss and digestive disorders. In the past, women took it to stimulate the flow of milk while they were nursing. Side effects may be observed in some instances. Since it affects the digestive system by producing stomach acid, its use might provoke severe irritation. Also, it is not recommended for pregnant women, because it might lead to abortion or birth anomalies.
Dong Quai was used in China to alleviate menopause – to reduce hot flashes, menstrual spasms, and control the cycle. Some researchers, however, claim that according to laboratory testing, the herb encourages the development of breast cancer cells.
Fennel Seed has a long record of multiple uses, both as a medicine and as food. Similar to the thistle, it was a way to increase the breast milk, but it was also considered an aphrodisiac. Another effect is that it increases the menstrual flow. Its role in breast enhancement is a result of tests, in which it was proven that due to the intake of fennel for ten days, the breast tissue in female rats increased in weight.
Fenugreek is popularly believed to have been used in harems. The women took it to enlarge their breasts. The main ingredient – diosgenin – can be transformed into estrogen in lab conditions. On the other hand, fenugreek is known to lower blood sugar, boost the libido, and lessen the extent of mood fluctuations that are typical for PMS and the menopause, among others. With breast enlargement, fenugreek is often included in teas and other products that balance female hormones and stimulate the breast growth.
