Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus)
"Chaste Berry" for Hormone Balance
 Vitex, commonly known as "Chaste-berry"
because of it’s effect on hormones,has hormonal effects on both men and
women.
Vitex inhibits the action of male androgens (sex hormones). The name
"Chaste tree" came from it’s use by monks to decrease libido. Vitex also
reduces prolactin levels, the hormone responsible for making breast milk
in women (although men have prolactin hormone, too).
In men, Vitex is used to treat
prostate
cancer because of its ability to inhibit male hormones and keep
prolactin levels low. In women, Vitex has progesterone effects and is
often used as a hormone regulator when more progesterone is indicated,
such as in
menopause.
The more common uses of Vitex include:
- Prostate cancer
- Female menopause
- PMS
- Irregular periods
- Infertility
Recommended dose: 2 caps (500mg) per day between meals.
