Vitamins & Minerals To Support Breast Growth

While there are very few things you can do to make your breasts grow, getting the right vitamins and minerals to support their growth is a step in the right direction. Fill your diet with nutritious foods that contain vitamin C, vitamin E, iron and copper to prepare your body for possible breast enhancement.

Vitamin C

The vitamin C in the foods you eat promotes the production of collagen, connective tissue and blood vessels; your breasts are made up of these things, and you need them to support breast growth. Endeavor to include 75 mg of vitamin C in your diet each day. Get vitamin C in supplement form or from foods such as citrus fruit, papaya, bell peppers, broccoli and cabbage.

Vitamin E

Breast growth requires strong muscular support, and getting more vitamin E in your diet helps keep the underlying pectoral muscles of your chest healthy. You need 15 mg of vitamin E each day; not getting enough can lead to muscle weakness that can hinder breast growth. Additionally, the vitamin E in the foods you eat may ward off cellular damage to your breasts, another factor that can prevent growth. Look to sunflower seeds, nuts and spinach to get more vitamin E.

Iron

Getting adequate amounts of iron in your diet -- 8 to 11 mg each day -- is critical for breast growth due to this mineral's influence on the amount of oxygen your body parts receive. The iron in the foods you eat may also influence your capacity for exercise, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center website, which can also impact your body's ability to boost the size of your bust. Eat foods such as lean red meat, seafood, legumes and whole grains to bolster your iron intake.

Copper

The copper in your diet support breast growth by influencing the stability of blood vessels and promoting the production of connective tissues. Your breasts require both to grow larger. Eat 900 mcg of copper each day for best health. Get the copper you need from foods such as oysters, beans, dark leafy greens and potatoes.
