For those women who are looking for larger breasts but who want to exhaust every option before going under the surgeon’s knife, breast enlargement pills look like a good option. There are a myriad of pills on the market and they can be bought in a variety of places, from the internet to televisions to women’s magazines.

The breast enhancement pill industry is a lucrative one but there are little tests or clinical trials done on many, and there are some concerns over the potency and safety of some products. Because they are sold as ‘supplements’, in many countries, in-depth checks are not made as to their safety or side effects. Many of the popular products only have short-term effects, if any, and only limited studies tend to support their breast enlargement claims.

One of the biggest potential hazards with breast enlargement pills are their side effects, particularly if the consumer takes them alongside existing medication. It is a myth that natural or herbal supplements are harmless in themselves, they can sometimes be quite dangerous, and when mixed with other medications, unwanted side effects can occur. Examples are black cohosh which may negatively interact with anti-cancer drugs such as tamoxifen, lessening it’s effects, or the chaste-tree berry, which can lessen the effect of contraceptive pills. Therefore it is important if you are intending to take breast enlargement pills that check with your doctor if you are on any form of medication to ensure that there are no clashes between the two if you are at all in doubt, we would advise not taking the breast enlargement pills.

So do the pills really work? Some natural herbal ingredients are known to contain and possess oestrogen-like effects on the body so they could, in theory, help increase breast size. Oestrogen, which is used in birth control pills, can increase breast size as it causes fluid retention in the breasts making the breast look larger and fuller, therefore it is possible that oestrogen mimics can have the same effects.

If you are looking for a way to boost your breast size without going under the knife, herbal remedies may help. However caution is urged to ensure that they do not adversely affect your health. If you are looking for a permanent solution, breast enlargement pills are probably not the way forward as they tend to only have a short-term effect, if any. The only real solution is to have cosmetic surgery to increase your cup size.
