Planetary Herbals, Vitex Extract (Chaste Berry Extract) 500mg, 60 Tablets

Vitex Extract Full Spectrum and Standardized Herbal Supplement
Supports Women's Hormone Regulation

Vitex (chaste tree berry) has become one of the most widely relied-upon botanicals in American and European herbalism. Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Vitex Extract combines a standardized extract of Vitex agnus-castus (chaste tree) berries, concentrated to 0.5% agnusides, with whole berries. Vitex modifies the effect of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. This helps regulate and balance female hormone production. Combining these active constituents with the whole herb ensures that all the important compounds of the botanical are present.

Vitex: Traditional Mediterranean Women's Herb
Vitex is a pink-violet flowered shrub common to southern Europe and the countries of the Mediterranean basin. Its round black berries have been used by women since ancient times to bring balance to the female reproductive system. The Greek physician Dioscorides mentioned chaste berry some 2,000 years ago. He noted that its Latin name agnus castus, meaning chaste lamb, referred to the reputed property of its seeds, when taken as a drink, to reduce sexual desire - an association that has not been confirmed by modern research.

Vitex Supports Hormonal Balance for Women of All Ages
Scientific research, while finding no effect on sexual desire, is confirming vitex's role in influencing female cycles. Vitex has been found to modify the activity of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands and in this way to help regulate and balance female hormone production. Specifically, modern research suggests that vitex inhibits the secretion of prolactin.

Vitex is indispensable for supporting a healthy reproductive system in women. It is the perfect complement to any women's health program.
