The company has gathered safety data on 15 sheep and cows with excellent results, showing an increase in breast fullness volume ranging from 20 to 30% and true new breast tissue formation.

However, the company cautions that the product is only available in countries where clinical studies have been approved by regulatory authorities and is not yet proven safe or effective in statistically significant controlled clinical studies.
