Yes, I try to massage as much as possible. When I got those results I had only massaged with cocoa butter for like a week. Now i'm using Naturedays massage cream, and it seems to be working well. I dont even really know how to massage tho. lol
luvgrl...i take natureday too. you said on your program page you take it morning, dinner, and before bed. do you always take it with food? if so, what do you normall eat before bed? and if you or anyone else knows, i have been wondering - is it necessary to take herbs with food?
Your actually not supposed to take food with herbs at all. You should take them on an empty stomach. I recently just changed my routine. I'm now taking all three droppers at once in the morning around 9am before I eat breakfast. They say you should take the natureday either 20 minutes before you eat, or two hours after. I asked customer service, and they said it would be most effective to take your dosage all at once.
so...if i come home tired one day, and i want to take my herbs and just go to bed. then there should be no problem with that? it can't hurt? the herbs don't need to be absorbed in the food? is it just so people can avoid an upset stomach? i know we need to be eating the right foods and everything but besides that, you guys think this would be okay? i should definately start doing one dose if you are luvgrl. your results are great! and we're taking the same product. have you started your pills yet? colby said she noticed more growth when she added the pills, but i don't think she's been on here in a while.
I think your not supposed to take it with food, so that it digests easier, and gets into your system faster. I'm going to add the pills in, i'm placing an order today, for more liquid and a bottle of pills... I'll start taking my three droppers plus the max pills, which would be 6 pills a day! That is the absolute max you can take each day. So why not try it? lol. My boobs are growing like crazy. I see a difference every day!! I'm also going to start adding in a multivitamin. And I'm gonna try to make a habit of running on the treadmill every day as much as I can. Cause these herbs make me bloated... and depressed, emotional. They really effect me like crazy. So i'm thinking exercise and diet will help to diminish that. I feel so fortunate that these work for me so well. But be careful, taking this much product every day is EXPENSIVE!! I'm going through a bottle a week. Thats 30 dollars a week x 4 is $120 a month!! After three weeks, i'm going to lower my dosage to maybe like 2 droppers a day, and 4 pills. I think that would be good. They suggest it at Natureday. And it will cost me less. But ya, it worked just as well for me taking is spread out during the day. (it was just hard to do when your always busy) But I asked a customer service rep if that was the best way, and she said it would be most effective to take them all at once. So, I am, and its easier, and working really well. Too soon to tell id its working better. Oh, and I also massage with natureday cream every night. I've noticed my boobs are really hard lately... what does that mean everyone?
Hey Luvgrl just wanted to mention a word of caution ~ if you are growing so well with what you are currently taking, I wouldn't add anything else into the mix, especially more herbs or you run the chance of stalling. I know and understand the desire to take more to get more results - but too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but I don't want to see you stall either when you are getting such great results right now.
hmmm..that's interesting henri. i think i have stalled since i added some herbs to my routine actually. when i was doing the 3 droppers of liquid, i was growing really well. can you go back once you have upped your herbs and still expect the same progress you had before? what do you do?
thanks for the advice about food luvgrl! i think i have been eating too soon after taking my herbs. you are doing great! i would recommend doing what henri suggested...your results are amazing! and mine were at first too....grrrr! :(
Sophie - my suggestion would be to ramp back down to what you had been taking and see if that might put you back on track. If not then do a couple day cleanse and start all over again, either with just the pills or just the liquid - or a very low combo if thats what had you seeing results.
I noticed that alot of women report decent amounts of growth or at least something going on with the Natureday liquid, but once they switch to the pills they seem to hit a snag.......possible suggestion is to just stick with the liquid, but I believe in the end the cost adds up to alot........you could use just the pills, or start off with a low combo of both and stick with it.......but I think switching from one thing to another even of the same brand/product/package is having the same results on all the users as everyone else who starts playing around with their program early on. If you are seeing results with just the liquid, stick with it, but if you are seeing results with the pills don't switch to the liquid, if you are seeing results with a combo of both liquid and pills, dont' add more pills into the mix.
I think a future suggestion for natureday users should be liquid or pills, but not both and certainly not starting with one and switching to the other. Their comments that the liquid gets working faster may be true, but the end results of switching to the pills after so much time, aren't leaving many people satisfied.
Yeah Henri,
I always wondered that. It seems to be like the natureday pills are probably pretty worthless. Even on their website they say the liquid is the main vehicle that works and that he pills aren't as strong, so why take them? I didn't plan on taking them until someone on here said they started noticing growth after taking two droppers of liquid and 6 pills a day. so i basically tried the same thing but with 3 droppers and 6 pills. After the first day of doing this, I shrunk! But I thought it was just a coincidence. Honestly I can't tell at this moment whether or not it is having a negative effect. Now that my period is pretty much over and I am measuring, I seem to have lost about half an inch of what I grew. Maybe a little bit less. I measure everyday (a bit obsessive?) and have noticed differences in my measurements between the days I take 6 pills versus 4 pills. I wish I had just stuck to the liquid cos I was getting really great results like LuvGrl - I honestly thnk the pills may be used just for Natureday to have another product. It seems like too much a coincidence if I as well as others have stalled on the liquid.
If I decide to do a cleanse, how long do i cleanse for and would I use Milk Thistle? How much do youuse of that and where can you find it sold individually? Should I try cutting back first before trying a cleanse you think? Thanks for your help! Do you take Natureday or have you? Did you/have you gotten any results from it if you have?
Yeah luvgrl....in retrospect - I say stick with the liquid! It's working for you...the pills seem to have stalled and even reversed by growth.
Thanks guys, I will def. stick with it, and not change it up.
I remember once I asked a customer service rep at natureday if the pills or liquid was better, and she said the liquid was better and the only reason they have the pills is because "thats what people expect"
My boobs aren't back up to what I got them too before yet (cause I started being off and on with it) but i'm certainly getting there!! They seem to be growing even faster. I changed my program a little just by taking all my herbs all at one time in the morning, and either 20 minutes before I eat, or two hours after I eat, and also, i'm now massaging with natureday cream every night. I've been very depressed/emo lately. :( What do I do about that!?
Hey Sophie - I think the milk thistle cleanse is whatever the bottle states - I found Milk Thistle at Walmart, the grocery store, drugstore etc, so it wasn't hard to find. Mine said one pill two time daily and to take with food, so thats what I did. As for cutting back, it would all depend on how much of everything you are taking,and for how long I don't remember if you mentioned it before. If it isn't alot and say you just started increasing within the past week or so then if it were me I wouldn't bother ramping down, but if you are doing alot of pills throughout the day and have been doing that for a while, then I would say ramp down in a weeks time, and then you wouldn't be out too much. You might also find while ramping down that your boobs start responding again, so you might not have to do a complete cleanse at all, just stick with the lower dose. This is just my opinion, and what I would do, others might have a different suggestion, I have only been around since about August last year.
Yes I took two liquid bottles of natureday and then some of the pills, they were leftover from my girlfriend, but I didn't have any luck, I also was taking some other things so I think I basically didnt' give it a fair chance, and can't give an honest opinion on it. My girlfriend took the liquid and pills for about 4months and then was done with them. She has always been about a c/d cup but after having kids they were really saggy, so she took the stuff long enough to get them back the way she liked them and then gave me the rest. Its been since, golly September I think,since she stopped, maybe longer, and she has still kept what she got back. I do know like luvgrl said, she took all of hers at one time, I think in the morning, right before she ate and only massaged for about a week, and then gave up on it. I have asked her a couple of times to sign up and post, but other then browsing the site periodically she has never posted. She says she didn't do anything special, just took the stuff like they said and that was it, she also wasn't looking for growth just firming, so doesn't feel like she can give an opinion.
Luvgrl - herbs will play around with your emotions as they play around with your hormones. Being emotional and depressed is something that occurs frequently around here, and is pretty normal for the herbs we take. This is something that I do that helps - its just a matter of feeling up to doing them ;-) Walking about 20 mins a day OUTSIDE, or sitting 15mins absorbing the direct sunlight help alot. Doing some stretches, or yoga/pilates moves for about 20 mins a day or everyother - mostly its the breathing techniques that help and you can find alot of those online. And then the normal: Adequate sleep, balanced meal, avoiding people..........hey at least the ones that only make things worse :-) Give it some times, because I am pretty sure your body will re-adjust soon.
i know this has turned into a natureday thread of sorts...

...but luvgrl's great results have inspired that i suppose! i contacted amy about what i am doing with my routine, and she said the max you should do is 3 droppers and 6 pills a day. she said what you said amanda - take it all at once. but she did say you should take it before you go to bed. this sort of makes sense to me since you are resting, not stressed when you are sleeping normally, and your body is in regeneration mode. so i guess i will be trying this and see. i'm sticking with the liquid. i just bought four bottles of the liquid. yeah...it gets pricey....but it is cheaper than buying the three month supply with the bottle of pills. i'll do it for awhile just with the liquid again and see what happens. thanks for your help amanda and henri!
I also just bought four more bottles. I'm going to start taking it before bed like Sophie said. I think that would work better. Also! I havent been able to take it for 3 days now because I ran out, and didnt get it ordered in time. Thats a really bad habit for me. So I ordered 4 bottles!! lol. I gotta stay persistant!! Especially Cause this stuff works so well for me!!
