Serotonin Follow-Up/Explanation for breast growth!

Ok after doing more research and already purchasing st john's wort (yeah it was an impulse buy because I wanted to use a $5 off coupon online lol) I discovered exactly why (or why I think) breasts enlarge from serotonin!

TL;DR Serotonin increases prolactin levels which causes an increase in breast size

These studies (albeit the first was a study in rats) show that serotonin directly increases prolactin serum levels:

So I guess that does explain why fenugreek is touted for breast growth so much -- increases prolactin because of the tryptophan in it.

And it made me realize why taking too much vitex can actually cause breasts to shrink like Ella and I experienced -- vitex decreases prolactin levels! So maybe combining the balancing effect of vitex with the prolactin-increasing effect of st john's will be good for me

I could just take fenugreek but I don't want to develop that maple syrup smell! And I like trying new things.
Not sure if I want to take st john's daily or cycle the st john's since I know that prolactin levels have different peaks throughout the cycle... hmmmm..
