You might be shocked hearing that but it is true that men are buying breast milk and it marks as a new bodybuilding trend.

Researchers unveiled that more men are buying breast milk, as they think that it has more benefits than cow’s milk. But these buyers choose to stay low and anonymous. One of the breast milk sellers shared that buyers call her up and ask questions with regard to the availability of breast milk and are ready to pay as well.

There are online breast milk banks as well. One online breast milk banks offers $1,200 per month for women who can sell extra milk. There are some who sell their breast milk for $2 to $5 per ounce. Though the trend is on rise, it has become a matter of concern among pediatricians.

It is always recommended for babies to have breast milk. Its benefits for babies include strengthening immune system and boosting mental development. Doctors suggest that mothers should breastfeed their babies up to two years of age.

Studies have proved that breast milk not only provides basic nutrition, but it also helps mother to recover from postpartum related diseases.

It shall however, be noted that studies breast milk benefits to adults are yet to be conducted.

Brett Schoenfeld, an assistant professor of exercise science at CUNY Lehman College in New York City, said that it is not common, but he knows people who have done it.

“There is nothing specific in breast milk that will cause adults to gain muscle mass”, affirmed Dr. Jacques Mortiz, the director of the division of gynecology at Mount Sinai Roosevelt in New York. Mortiz stressed there is nothing as such in breast milk that will cause adults to gain muscle mass.
