Return To Supplements Article Archive   Breast Enhancement Supplements - Effectiveness and Safety By Sally Miller While there is literally hundreds of breast enhancement supplements advertised on television and in magazines, there is still great debate as to the safety and effectiveness of them. Many women suffer from low self esteem with regards to their breast size and as such the market for supplements is well established. Nonetheless, this article will discuss the effectiveness and safety of them. Based on the premise that exposing a woman's body to certain herbs will stimulate breast growth, breast enhancement supplements have become a very popular alternative for women who feel they are too small. Theoretically, if they contain estrogen-like herbs or estrogen itself then breast enlargement is definitely possible. Estrogen is thought to stimulate the growth of mammary tissue causing a noticeable increase in the size of a woman's breasts. However, many breast supplements do not contain estrogens and as such will most likely be ineffective with regards to increasing breast size. As such, women need to be careful to choose the ones that have proven results. The safety of them in an entirely different issue altogether. Certainly, natural breast enhancement supplements that contain no artificial chemicals or ingredients are going to be on the safest side of the spectrum. Many manufacturers of them also tend to take a somewhat lazy approach to testing the safety of their products. Also, like any supplement that contains estrogen (including the birth control pill and certain menopausal treatments) are thought to increase the likelihood of uterine cancer. Still, this concern is not as serious as you might expect and there are still many birth control pills available despite the link to uterine cancer. Nonetheless, understanding the risks of the products is important. Because estrogen is known to stimulate the growth of uterine tissue there is definite concern over the risk of certain cancers. Usually, hormone replacement therapies and birth control pills will contain progesterone to counteract the effects of estrogen. While this definitely ameliorates the effects of estrogen with regards to cancer it does not reverse these effects. Simply put, any supplement or medication that contains estrogens is going to increase the risk of uterine cancer. This increased risk tends to be marginal and as such many doctors consider the benefits of estrogen treatments outweigh the risks. Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that breast enhancement supplements interfere with natural feminine processes such as fertility and menstruation and they do not appear to interfere with the effects of the birth control pill. Common herbs in these include fennel, fenugreek, and thistle which have been used for centuries for their medicinal purposes. Indeed, there is very little evidence to suggest that they are unsafe. Especially if you can find natural supplements you can be more confident that you are using a safe and natural product. However, you must remember that the effectiveness of different products is likely to vary so you need to do your research before settling on a particular supplement.
