has anyone had success using only saw palmetto? i used the tincture and took two droppers full three times a day for one week. i cannot believe the fullness i see and feel. my breasts already feel firm and heavy. i stopped it a week ago when i ran out of the stuff, but the fullness remains. i am so happy! has anyone else tried this? will there be any bad side effects?
Iv tried fenugreek tincture alone and had good results within the first week,u i felt tingles and tenderness within 24 hrs. My breasts were really full and probly starting to grow untill i added dong quai, saw palmetto, and wild yam. everything stopped and my breast shrunk!! especially when and straight after i drank fennel tea. I was so upset, so now i will be taking fenugreek tincture alone, but might try hops tincture too, if that doesnt work then ill def stick to FG alone, cos that worked.
Hi all, i've just joined, but I've been reading the forums for some time.
I bought some Saw Palmetto tincture today. I'm gunna give it a try.
I've tried different herbs before (Fennel, hops, Oats etc) to see how my body reacts, but had no results. I've also tried massaging as well using Vitamin E cream, and cocoabutter (which I am still continuing).
I also bought some new deodorant today as well, it's called Herbal Magic by Earthly Elements. It doesn't contain aluminium which is good, but does contain Fennel and Hops, which is even better :P
But, I was thinking that MAYBE taking a single herb, like Saw Palmetto on it's own could be better than taking a range of herbs? Would they conflict with one another? I thought this because of what Jennie and Crystal Li had said.
All SP really does is lower testosterone levels in the blood, so unless you have high androgen levels and this has hindered breast growth until now it is not that likely that your breast will grow on SP alone.
SP in conjunction with phytoestrogenic herbs such as Fenugreek, Fennel, is generally more likely to work.
However, everyone is different and what may not work for most people may just work for you, it is all about trying out and finding the right mix for yourself.
Saw Palmetto is said to gradually increase breast size over time. I have thought of taking just this one herb, because it doesn't bother me as much as the phytoestrogen herbs. (I tend to be moody anyways, and the extra hormones can be a little much for me at times.) If I was going to pick just one herb to take, it would be either Fenugreek or Saw Palmetto. The fenugreek might work better, but for me, the SP would be easier to deal with over time.

yes, i've also tried fenugreek alone, but for some reason it ALWAYS makes me feel ROTTEN. my blood sugar lowers, i feel faint, weak and depressed. i've learned that i MUST stay away if i want to maintain my sanity.
so...if saw palmetto lowers testosterone, how is it that they always claim it helps with libido in women? i am puzzled about this one...i didn't notice any libido boosts, that's for sure...
i wonder what the mimumum dose of saw palmetto would be? guess i gotta experiment a bit here...i would rather not take so much...three droppers full in one day seems a lot to me...my stomach was hurting a bit-wonder if it was from all that saw palmetto?
