Bee pollen can mimic estrogen in the body, but experts say there are some risks, including allergic reactions, digestive issues and abnormal tissue growth.

Labeled as the next “superfood,” bee pollen is a dietary supplement known for its vitamins and anti-inflammatory elements. Originally used for allergy prevention, people are now using bee pollen in hopes of adjusting their hormone levels and, as a result, potentially increasing breast size.

The use of the supplement as a way to treat hormone issues is all over social media. TikToker Taylor Reynolds made a video in which she asked hormone doctors to explain the phenomenon after it caused breast growth for her, her sister and her roommate. The video reached 2.5 million views.
