    Default saw palmetto?

    I read from a few sources (including SW ) about how taking saw palmetto would encourage breast growth...well, I went to Whole Foods the other day and found it, but it was in the "prostate health" section, and seemed to be something strictly for men!

    Now I'm confused. Is it okay for women to take saw palmetto? (For some reason I'm now having the thought that it's like steroids, where when women take them they grow all sorts of masculine characteristics--eeek ) Does it actually work, anyway? And if so, do your breasts shrink again if you stop taking it, or do the results actually last?

    My best pal is a medical info buff, and says it is safe for women. My Internet research turned up no studies/ info claiming saw palmetto is unsafe for women. I want to keep the extra 1-2 inches on my bust, soooooo I'll keep taking it. You should buy the Extract capsules, not the Berry capsules...I think they work better.

    the reason that saw palmetto is good for prostate problems is that it contains plant estrogens, which discourage testosterone production, which is believed to cause and aggravate prostate problems. plant estrogens are also believed to help women with menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, and who are wanting to grow larger breasts. so yes, it is good for women.

    Thanks!

    I found a whole thread on it after I posted, so then i felt like an ass But it didn't say how many milligrams are recommended...or how many are SAFE.

    What dosage do you take? And do you spread them out over the course of a day, or take them all at once?

    take them with food or milk, throughout the day. there should be a reccomended dosage on the bottle for men- take 1 1/2- 2X that. you might also consider taking milk thistle, green tea, and soy.

    Sounds interesting, good luck with that. I personally took the plastic surgeon route.

    i should note that success rates have been rather touch and go..... there is not a very high dosage of hormones in natural remedies, and they seem to only affect women who have unusually low hormone levels, or did when they went through puberty. you can get hormone injections from doctors, but these have a number of disarming side effects, including a far greater incidence of gynecological cancers. the plastic surgeon is still the only surefire way to go.

    Well, i'm willing to try it...i don't want to do the plastic surgery thing. Not judging anyone who has or wants a BA, but I am insanely squeamish about a) surgery, b) foreign objects in my body, c) pain and d) larger boobs getting in the way when I'm training (I'm a contortionist).

    Plus, I don't really want them THAT much bigger. Just a little boost would be perfect.

    Thanks for the info!

    i asked the same thing on another thread, sassysummer.... apparently, the fat grafts would be too large and they would die? i wish it were possible though, that'd be so great!!
