I used the Bountiful Breast product and the results were quite impressive. I was so pleased and agreed that they could put my testimonial on their site. However after I stopped taking it my gains vanished! The size increase went away completely and I was back to where I started from, exactly the same. In view of this I thought my testimonial was false and I asked Bountiful Breast to take my testimonial off their site. This was ignored and I had to ask them several times before they took it down. Even when they said they'd take it down they still didn't do it immediately. Altogether it took 6 months before it was taken down. To me that is sharp practice, to have a testimonial on their site that the person doesn't want there, so I wasn't happy about that. As for whether my experience is typical with results not lasting I really can't say. Maybe I was just unlucky.

Hi Judith, I'm so sorry to read about your unfortunate experience with Bountiful Breast. I tried it also, but it didn't work for me. (I wrote a lengthy summary on EVE's Natural Breast forum awhile back). The BB customer service department was sketchy. I hope you'll find a better NBE alternative. Good luck =)

I took bovine ovary for 6 months, not BB kind though. I have to report that it had no effect on me, except that my periods became a little irregular. There was no effect at all on the breasts, so it was disappointing, but having found this forum site I see plenty of other options here!

I can't thank you enough for posting this message. The great thing about a forum like this is that we can all share the good, the bad, and the ugly. Learning from each other is worth it's weight in breast tissue. (lol)

Anyway, thank you for your candor. I hope that the next NBE program you try brings you lasting results!

Hi Judith,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I can't believe they took so long to remove your testimonial-- that's awful.

I'm wondering if you were doing any maintenence at all-- occasional BB/BO, herbs, creams or massage?

I know BB assures everyone that results last, but in reality I've always wondered about that.

Once goal size is reached it seems likely to me that some type of maintenance would be necessary. Maybe even a very slow ramping down of BB/BO and into some type of maintenance dosage (or herbs) combined with massage.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

I used Bountiful Breast back in 2002 and I must say the results did not last. I used it for 6 months and I saw good results in the first 4 months. Nothing happened in the next 2 months, so I stoppped taking it, especially as my cycles were very irregular when I was taking it. Unfortunately after another 6 months all the gain had gone and I was back where I first started. It's interesting to find this forum though, but I'm not sure if I would take bovine ovary again, even with maintenance this time.

The longest I have heard of someone using BB and keeping the results is like 1.5 years. Does anyone know of anyone else who stopped taking the product and retained growth without maintenance for a longer period of time?

I came across some info that might be helpful...
I was looking thru the testimonials one day and as many times as I have been on the BB site I never realized there was 2 pages. So I read the second page. They are much older and a lot of the girls on there were taking at least 3 pills or more per day. I thought that strange- but these are also from around 1999. Anyways, come to find out that the potentatization (sp?)formula has changed many times. There were issues when it was first introduced, but apparently what we are getting now is the really "good stuff" and any growth should be kept.

HTH

Well if you believe that I guess you're willing to believe in anything. Potentatization? Are you serious? I believe that's what's known as marketing speak isn't it? And the really good stuff eh? Are you sure? Really good stuff? ROTFLMAO. All they are selling is bovine ovary at an inflated price.

LOL! I'm suprised that someone who seems so knowledgeable does not know about this. Here is a link that explains potenization in simple terms. http://www.deliciouslivingmag.com/magazine/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&issueID=84&articleID=1933

As for me, I do belive it, only becuase their dosage went from 3 to 2 pills over a period. Whatever is in them it is only 520mg each, so that would mean we are taking too low of a dose of BO to grow, and I've grown just fine.

Homeopathic potenization is a recognized procedure. It can up the potentcy in a substance. I'm not the gullable type, and even though I may not be real happy with some of BB's antics, I do believe this part, otherwise the dose would be too low for results. They specifically tell you not to take more than the daily dosage, why would they do that, if they wanted a marketing ploy, taking more would mean selling more.

HS29 - I read all those old testimonies a while back, and thought that they really should put some sort of diclaimer on there or take the old ones out, it makes people think that they should up the dose. After everything that happened recently, you would think that they would want to avoid confustion??

Now, I don't "believe" in homeopathy because I know how it's supposed to work, and I can do math. Homeopathic remedies are diluted so many times that there is virtually NO chance of any of the good stuff even being in the concoction that is left.

A second problem here is that homeopathy is supposed to use very tiny amounts of something that causes a problem. That substance is taken to cure it; that is the "like cures like" idea. In this case it should be something that causes small breasts, not something known to cause breast growth. Perhaps homeopathic vitex?? lol.

Anyways, I doubt BB uses homeopathic BO. If it smells like BO, likely theres a ton of it in there, not a miniscule amount.

Well who really knows -- not me that's for sure, but it would explain that the total ingredients are less than 1100mgs daily, less than normally required for growth. Just for the sake of mention, BB do not smell like the generic, mine have no smell at all, the DNE smell horrible, I have them also.

Isn't it the ovaries that produce the female hormones, such as for breast growth?

Jenneelle-

I have seen many of your posts and mostly you are right about whatever u are replying to. Many girls here are thankful to have u here.

I chose to share info that comes from a VERY reliable source. I gave the shortened condensed story and yes I am believing most of it. You have the right to disbelieve it and ROFL whatever body part you chose to laugh off.

I wonder Jenneelle- what method of NBE you are using b/c I have not been able to locate your program page or any post regarding what method you are using. Are you even doing NBE??? You seem to know a lot about what NOT to do, so what is your suggestion as what TO DO?

I would feel more comfortable taking advice or believing what someone has to say if I knew they were in the same boat as me. I don't feel that way with you b/c I do not know what you are doing.

It's hard to believe that Bountiful Breast is homeopathic. But who really knows, they don't seem to know themselves.

Wait, I'm confused. Do the results last or not? To me, the risk is not worth it if the results aren't permanent. I am on day 3 of BO and already getting "sensations" -- BUT, taking all of those pills on an empty stomach every day is actually very difficult (intolerant gag reflex). Plus, just the thought of ingesting cow organs every day is enough to make me gag. So------ is there anyone at all who can claim having results that really last with this? Should I switch to herbs? Do those results last?
And - now that the Bountiful pills are basically more powerful (is this the correct understanding of homeopathic potenization?) -- how does that relate to actually keeping the goods versus just growing them?
Thanks for any help understanding this!

i think that after we have reached the desired result,we should lower the dosage for few months then stop it,not stop immediatley after reaching the goal...then results will last...

Hi! I am on Day 6 and have felt some sensations already but was not sure if that was psychsomatic or not. Plus, I'm slowly adding other vitamins and herbs to my rountine as I try to get used to not only ingesting what seems like a trillion pills a day, but also big ol' cow ovaries -- esp. after having been a vegetarian for 10 years and only just recently starting to eating meat for health reasons! Ugh! So basically, I really do hope we can figure out a way to truly make sure the results stay b/c the risk, the grossness and price of BB (and all of this really) is a lot of invest for only part-time results. Anyone had long-term results that have stayed? If so, what type of maintenance do you do?

BTW, I have just started giving myself a name on this group. I wrote a couple things before but anonymously. But since I check the group daily, I figured I should join in on the fun the right way! :o)

welcome aboard,
Cyd from BB has kept all growth ,and i think she has stopped a year ago..Dont know the exact duration.I think the most important thing is not to stop it suddenly and immidiately..Lower the dose then stopping would help us maintain our growth..Good luck and good growth :)

Not trying to be catty at all - but Cyd does work for the company now. In your conversations with her have you gotten the impression that she's genuine? I haven't talked with her.
Thx!

I think that Cyd is definately geniune, she is the one who originally told all about he controversy at BB, infact, the hysteria that was blamed on someone else, actually was Cyd's doing, but she was offered a job and took down the controversial info from her site as a result. Don't take that as a mean comment, I appreciate that we were told the truth. It would be interesting to know if she still maintains by taking BB, or if she kept all her growth, maybe Melissa knows, she is in contact with her reguarly I think??

What we need is for more past users to come and share their experiences, but if they grew and reached their goal, they are probably not out there searching and finding the forum. It's scary that some lost everything, hopefully it was a formula issue that was corrected. Mine does not feel like temporary growth, it feels like solid breast tissue, or fat I guess it is. I promise to keep coming back to share my experience, even after I'm done with NBE and moved on, but I'm atleast 5 months from stopping, and it will be years before my testimony means anything.

I used generic BO, and my results were permanent. Everyone really IS different. The difference in breast size has more to do with how many fat cells are surrounding your breast glands than anything else.

If you tend to be thin or have a hard time gaining, your results will be slower. If you go on a diet or lose weight afterwards, you will probably lose your results, too.

I used generic (NCA brand) for five months and gained a cup size (b to c). I kept it for two years until I lost a lot of weight in a short time (due to depression and over exercise). After the depression dissappated I went on Vitamin Power BO and gained my cup back and more. And the results have stuck with me since.

Everyone is different and gets different results at different speeds.

Generally, if you use BO for at least six months and then titrate down slowly and don't go on any kind of extreme diet (like losing more than 2 pounds a week), you should be able to keep your gains.

Fawn

So, as long as we stay on the BB or Bo for at least 6 months time, we should keep all growth, right?
I want to continue to get BB for as long as I need it and stay on it for as long as it takes ( and can afford it!).
I just don't want to mess up and do anything to stop growth or hinder it!
Like to much caffiene or not taking the dosage right.

Paula - I drank coffee all throughout my time on BO. Theoretically it might interfere, but I found I couldn't live without it.

You should continue taking your BO product for a few months after you've reached your goal, because there is always some water retention when you're taking any BE product. You should expect some swelling to go down once you stop taking it. But you should lose your growth, no.

That is good becuz" i live on caffeine!
I take energy pills (like ones for my company)
and drink a natural energy drink, plus occassionally drink a cup of coffee.
But i NEED some form of caffeine for energy to keep up with work and family.
That is good news about maintaining your growth from BO>
I will maintain for probably a year on pills.
So. it sticks!

Hi Sissy,

I haven't been around much lately, we have been busy finishing our entire basement and it has taken up most of my time. Anyways, I just wanted to jump in and say that yes, you are right, Cyd and I are friends and talk often. She has kept her results, she just went on a cruise and sent me pictures of her in her new bikini's, she looks fantastic! I still hold out hope to get results like hers! :)

I have not had any new gain since my 1/4 inch last month but I have maintained that, didn't lose any of it! So now I am 2 1/4 inches total. I would like to gain at least another 2 inches! I figure that I might have to be on BB for another year maybe, but as long as I keep seeing results no matter how small here and there I will continue to take it.

Hope this helps!
Melissa

Would you mind please sharing your feedback - hope you're still out there!

Heres a post sissy wrote not too long ago. Go to the very last post.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/534125/thread/1208326840/last-1225171588/Bountiful+Breast+pills-

Hi Lisa,

My final results were impressive, I grew 4.5+ inches, was full, round and proud. After 9-10 months or so, I weaned myself off, like one pill a day for the last month, then stopped.
After 1 month off the pills, I lost all growth. I wrote to bb several times asking for help...hoping they would work with me to see what may be the reason. They basically told me it was not possible to lose the growth, it should be permanent. Like I was a liar or something. I was offended and actually suprised that they wouldn't want to look into my issue to see what might be the reason, since I did grow well and was initially a success story. Actually it was devastating to lose it, but I later started taking vitamin power brand, and seemed to grow and inch or so, but nothing like my bb growth.

I was a defender of bb for a while, but now don't think much of the company now. I am using the noogleberry pump currently, and happy with the results I'm getting with it. Someday I might start taking bb again to see if I can retain the results.....but I need to be able to get past the way they blew me off before I can handle giving them my business again :)

Sissy

Sissy,

You do know that there are other places that sell bovine ovary, right? BB isnt the only place. Moreover, why would you want to buy from them again after how they treated you when you spent so much money with them. Clearly they are not concerned with repeat business, yet you are concerned with repeat business. I dont get it! I would be cursing them to give me back my money because they are overpriced bovine ovary.

In all honesty, bovine ovary is bovine ovary. I dont think that BB's is any better just because they charge more for it. There are many companies that sell BO, if you look through the forum you will see.

Hope you regain your impressive 4.5+ inches of growth. Bovine ovary worked well for me and I plan on continuing until I get my desired size. I took a break when I went on vacation just because I was too busy having fun, and I didnt lose anything. I am on a break now and still I have not lost anything. I think it is unusual for you to lose inches, especially after 10 months. There must be something wrong with BB, not you.

anyone? :(

Chelle Choi said her results lasted.

My results have also lasted. I grew from 31 inches to 35 inches and I took a break when I went on vacation for 9 days, didnt lose anything at all.

I am on a break right now because my results have slowed down, probably because I was taking BO for 6 months. I am doing a liver cleanse and deciding what NBE method I want to continue on with. It has been close about a couple of weeks now since I stopped and I actuallu grew some more since I have been on a break.

I think my results are permanent because I have not lost any inches nor any fullness. However, I would like to be bigger, so I might continue BO since I still have a 6 month supply left and because it worked well for me.

The only responses I've seen are ladies who stopped for a week and think that's enough. From what I've read, it's not. Everyone else said they lost theirs after six weeks unless they took a "maintenance" dose but no one specified what that is :(

interested, but wanting to know what i'm getting into and for how long (six months or for life :)

and switched to nb

Well I have kept mine so far.

How do you know Chelle Choi lost hers? From her post she said she kept everything.

Most people who say they lose their growth are the ones who took BountifulBreast. I am not taking BB. I think that there is something in BB that makes people lose what they have gained. I cannot really comment on this because I didnt take it.

Also, I have not stopped for 6 weeks because I am not done with my program yet. I have only taken breaks for one or two weeks.

A maintenance dose is when your lower your regular dose. For example, if you are taking 2 pills per day, you would take one pill a day. This is after you reach your desired size and are wanting to stop. If you slowly stop taking the pills instead of abruptly stopping your chances of keeping your growth are supposed to be higher.

I think the longer you take any NBE product, the more permanent your results. I was planning on taking BO for a year and a half so I can get lasting results. It seems that those who took anything for 18 months or longer kept the growth.

When I am done with my program I will try to come back to let everyone know if I have lost any growth or not when stopping, but I plan to take BO for at least 1 more year.

I don't understand how to figure out what women have used that works from the pp pages. So many of the pages start with one nbe, then switch over and over that I get lost trying to sort out who used what and which one worked. I appreciate the info about using 1 pill a day for six months to titrate off.

I've used pm cream only - it works well, but is messy, smells, inconvenient, expensive, does not last, and creates constant tenderness and soreness. plus if it lightens the nipples - ready to move on to something more permanent, less mess.

thank you for all your feedback. please keep us posted!!!

Hi again, do you have a pp page? how much are you taking? how long will you take that before switching to maintenance ?

Thanks again = I'll let you know how mine goes once I get it! :)

No, I dont have a programs page. I am just on a break from BO. So right now I am doing massages only, trying to eat helpful foods, and push ups. I think I will take for at least 1 year before slowly stopping. Then when I am taking a maintenance dose, I will probably take it for 9 mths-1 yr, just to make sure my growth is permanent and that I achieve as much growth as possibl. Right now I am still an A cup but because of breastfeeding I have to fill up first then I will start growing. So, its not like I will be growing right away like some would who have not breastfed. For that reason I will be taking BO longer. So I am looking to take it for at least a yr and a half but probably closer to 2 yrs.

My goal is to fill out, then to grow bigger.
