Size and Shape

Hormones play a key role in determining breast size and shape.

During puberty a woman's body naturally produces estrogen which helps in the development of new tissue.

Estrogen is produced by the pituitary gland determines the size, shape and fullness of a woman's breasts.

Lower levels of these hormones will result in smaller less developed breasts.

The phyto-estrogens, which are naturally occurring non-hormonal plant estrogens, stimulate your body to produce new breast tissue growth.

The size of your breast is controlled by the proper release of hormones during puberty and after.

To maintain breast size the body requires the proper release of hormones.

The main hormones involved in the growth and maintenance of the breast tissue are estrogen, progestrone, prolactin and corticosteriods.

All are normally released in the correct amounts causing the breast to grow.

All women are different and genetics play a major role in dictating how large a women's breast will grow

Poor nutrition can contribute to inadequate regulation of the body's hormones, therefore, poor nutrition may effect the growth of the breast.
