My breast size is only 30 with a very small cup size and I'm really self-conscious about it. Are there any medications or non-surgical options to help increase breast size naturally? I'm not interested in surgery but would love to know if there are other ways to enhance it.
Breast size is mostly genetic; no proven non-surgical method works—oils and supplements lack evidence, consult a specialist.

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?
With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.
