    Default saw palmetto???

    i've heard a lot of rumour that taking the natural supplements Saw Palmetto (medically used for treating an enlarged prostate) & Fenugreek (for treating chest & throat problems) can encourage natural breast growth? it all sounds a bit too good to be true, and i'd always thought that there was no real way to up your bra size without actually having a BA. has anyone tried this Saw Palmetto stuff and had any results, or is anyone able to confirm that it's all bullshit?

    According to Terri Nunn of Berlin (80s New Wave band) a handful of Saw Palmetto a day will give you an extra cup size. (Source: Jane Magazine.) Hey, can't hurt to try.

    yeah that's exactly what i heard! i might as well give it a go (unless anyone else can tell me they tried it and it did nothing lol), i mean all it's used for is treating prostates, and i don't have one of them, so i guess it can't do too much damage!

    I might be careful with saw palmetto, I'm not sure what it would do if a woman took it. I've always known it to be a supplement that only men take. It's used to keep the prostate in check and helps prevent testosterone conversion to DHT, which contributes to hair loss.

    *Bump*

    I started taking saw palmetto standardized extract (5 capsules a day) and I've noticed a boost in my bosom. I also read the herb fenugreek has a similar effect.

    i learned in a nutrition class that saw palmetto is among the most dangerous of herbs if not taken correctly (and even when taken correctly) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE talk to a professional first-- dont forget ephedra is an herb too, doesnt mean its completely safe (then again, what is "safe" lol)

    I'll check it out with a doctor. It does have a gross aftertaste.....but I'm liking the boobage.

    EDIT- I think I'll cut back to 2-3 a day vs. 5. Not going to try the fenugreek, someone else should.....

    That's TERRIBLE reasoning, lol! May I suggest googling "product" + "side effects" or "hazzards" or "dangers" etc before blindly taking someting in future?! As it happens I just did and couldn't find anything bad so far. It seems that side effects are rare and not much to worry about although the long term effects arn't known.

    Honestly girls, I think the saw palmetto is responsible for my rip-roaring yeast infection- too much at once. And it will upset your stomach. I am cutting back but I am happy with the replaced heft in my bra.

    Saw Palmetto, Blessed Thistle and Fennel are meant to be the active ingredients in Bloussant. I can barely remember my birth control pill, so I don't know, but the women with whom I have shared this claim a slight size difference, but a significant difference in firmness.

    You guys rock. I have just started to ecercise more than usual and though my derriere is quitelovely, the boobage is shrinking.. I'm going to ask a nutrionist what he/she thinks the side effects for would be for me.

    I was taking Saw Palmetto in conjunction with Fenugreek (1 capsule of SP and 1 capsule of Fenugreek per day) but didn't really notice any difference. Then again, I only stuck to it for a few weeks so I probably didn't give it enough time lol.

    madmaxine, how long did it take before you started noticing bigger boobs? I've spent hours and hours researching it online, there's so much stuff about how it can make your boobs increase by 1-2 cup sizes, was the growth you had anything like that at all?

    I was taking 5 capsules of the extract a day for just a few days, (which was too much BTW, hence the yeast infection). I'm also on the Pill, which probably accelerated matters.
    I'll keep taking it & pick up some fenugreek & fennel, (but keep in mind, my boobs have been up & down in the past 2 years, so my results might be atypical.)
    Re: cup size increase- from the rate of growth, I could see hitting a new cup size in 1-2 months. BUT that might be too fast. I'm going to cut back & research so I don't end up hurting myself for slightly bigger boobies...LOL

    Well I went to GNS today and bought saw palmetto and some Valerian as well.. I had to get help finding it so the GNC guy, while ringing up my bottles says, an herb to help you sleep and one for your prostate, hmmmm.. I didn't feel the need to tell him I wasn't using it for my prostate..

    ^^^ never had a problems with it, then again I don't use it much... I just have been overly stressed lately and it helps me chill out after the day is over instead of trying to figure out the world in one hour. So I bought a bottle. Never heard anything bad about it, I just make sure that everything I take doesn't interfere with anything else. I am as careful as I can be..
    Still, I am interested in this saw palmetto..

    I have used the Chinese Herb Dong Quai. It was a major ingredient in some boob pills I was taking awhile back. I used to buy it from Whole Foods then went on the co.'s site. One thing I can say, it helped a little (like half to maybe 3/4 a cup size up) but, it did help a lot w/period issues.

    I took a ton of fenugreek wehn I was nursing my son. It is supposed to help with milk production. It might be safer than saw palmemtto, since it is recomended for nursing mothers. Not sure about the size issue, but I do know it is exoensive.

    Russians LOVE valerian, its their valium. It never did shit for me though, perhaps I didn't take enough?

    Anything taken without knowing very much about it can be harmful- including "safe" OTCs like aspirin.

    Please consult a doctor, esp if you take antidepressants, painkillers, tranquilizers, etc. Even the safest herb/medication can be dangerous when mixed improperly.
