Breast enlarger creams were developed from the undeniable fact that surveyed men and women both prefer larger busts to smaller ones. Data also indicates that a woman’s self esteem is positively impacted by having a larger bustline. So, of course, a woman who feels her chest is on the small side would love a growth spurt.

Of course, a woman whose breasts have headed south would love a boost. Every woman’s nightmare is looking like the women in the National Geographic magazines when we were kids. The question, then, is not whether a larger bust is desirable but how to get them, and breast creams are one of the best natural options available.

You could turn to costly and scary surgery, but with natural alternatives in the forms of benign breast enlarger creams and pills, why resort to the knife without at least trying the natural path? The topicals use a combination of natural herbs that have been shown to encourage breast growth in women, and some of these herbs, like saw palmetto, have been used for hundreds of years for various health applications.

But do these breast creams really work? Many users say yes, but you’ll find that the FDA and Better Business Bureau do not back up the usefulness of these products. Then again, they don’t prosecute them for misrepresenting themselves either. This is an interesting distinction, and one worth discussing.

The FDA claims that there is no evidence to suggest that these products work, but the FDA’s standard for what constitutes evidence is not only highly scientific, but relies heavily on costly and extensive research done by billion dollar pharmaceutical companies. In fact, the FDA does not even approve the use of many vitamins and herbal supplements that we ordinary folks know work.

As an example, Echinacea is a popular remedy for colds and an immune system booster that Native Americans successfully used for centuries, but the FDA does not approve its use, citing lack of evidence. Despite the FDA’s caution, many of the ingredients used by breast enlarger creams have been given “GRASE” status by the FDA, which indicates that they are “generally regarded as safe and effective”.

In legal matters, it is interesting to note that the Better Business Bureau has prosecuted one breast enlarger cream manufacturer in 2002, stating that the manufacturer misled the public. Logically, if only one of these companies has actually been taken to task by the government for misleading the public, it stands to reason that the other breast enlarger creams manufacturers are properly representing themselves to the public in key ways, or the government would come after them, too.

Some of you are also probably wondering if these breast enlarger creams are safe. There has been no evidence to suggest otherwise, and there have been numerous studies done with these creams. The herbs that are used in the breast creams work because they stimulate production of estrogen. Although no evidence exists to show that these creams are harmful, remember that an over supply of estrogen in the body has been shown to increase certain health risks, and a woman should analyze her own health history and physical responses before making a decision. What breast enlarger creams do not do is cause weight gain (always a plus) or interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills.

If you’d like to try a brand of breast creams, shop around and look for one that has the highest concentration of known useful herbs. and choose the one that backs up their products with a solid money back guarantee. Some of them will stand by their breast enlarger creams for as long as six months. With that kind of a guarantee, a smart consumer has nothing to lose, and maybe something to gain. Something like a bra size or two.
