Vitex Chasteberry Vegan, 450mg, 200 Veggie Capsules - 200 Servings

I purchased this Vitex because I have PCOS and I have had it all my life. My periods have always been irregular, only receiving about 3 or maybe 4 cycles a year. Now that I am in my 30s my doctor got concern about me developing endometriosis, or uterine cancer due to not shedding my uterine lining as frequently as I should. She requested that I start taking birth control to regulatr my cycle and I really hated the idea of that. So, I started to look into taking Vitex. It took me a little over a month of researching to finally settle on this brand. I was very skeptical, to say the least. I started taking 1 capsule a day as instructed and saw no changes after 2 weeks. I increased the dosage to 2 a day but realized it make me feel a little nauseated, just a weird feeling. So, I went back to just taking the one capsule a day. After a little over 3 weeks I still didnt received a cycle and I started to doubt that these were even working. I started to slack off on taking then and would miss a day or so between dosage, or take them real late at night when I would remembered. Well, after taking these capsules off and on for a month and a half it happened. I finally got my period!!! I was elated and decided that the only way I would know for sure if these really worked is to stop taking them and see if my cycle becomes automated. I was doubtful that it would. Well, I am happy to say that I just got off my cycle again this month and I haven't taken these pills since the start of my initial cycle. It came by itself! I am holding out to see if its going to come again next month automatically. Needless to say, this product is wonderful, and the dosage is just the right amount snd I can just tell that the ingredient is authentic. I also recommended this to my friend and it worked for her as well. She it activated her cycle after only a week of her taking it. She also suffers from PCOS. Sge has since gone on a recommend this to her sister who doesn't have PCOS but is having problems conceiving. I will recommend this product to anyone who will listen. This is really made me feel like a regular woman again. Thank you BEST Vitex.

Magical. I can't live without this. Otherwise I'm in severe pain.

I've suffered with very erratic short cycles that could be heavy or light. I started using Vitex/ chasteberry of naother brand and saw some improvements. I then decided to try a stronger dosage per capsule, along came this brand. Well it's been 4 months of consistently taking two pills three times a day. I know this may seem like over kill, but I had an extremely erratic and heavy cycle. I tried diet, exercise, meditation, acupuncture and prescriptions. I still maintain my diet and homeopathic alternatives. However, this is by far given me a reason to not have to wear OVERNIGHT pads every day of my cycle. Zero cramps and less clots. I still get a bit fatigued but this is minor to the heavy flow I couldn't control. I'm so glad i discovered vitex and recommend it to others who might be suffering. UPDATED: 06/17/19 Best brand of vitex. I've been using this consistently for the past year. I went from heavy flows that lasted for 6/7 days, 21 day cycle and weekly spotting; 4/5 long periods, 25 day cycles and no more spotting. This product help me to regain control of my menstrual cycle without the use of surgery or prescription hormones/ medication. I enjoy my body more and my body thanks me for using the product. If your struggling with horrible periods please be patient and give the product time. I also take this supplement 3x a day based on my conditions.

Let's start off with why I am using this product. I have diagnosed PCOS by my gynecologist. I have taken tests for everything to see what could be causing it (blood work, ultra sounds-- I am not diabetic, no thyroid issues, no overly large cysts on my ovaries, a healthy weight of 105lbs at 5 ft, walk 4-5,000 steps a day, not severely depressed or stressed) and my doctor has just figured it must be my genetics. I have taken another form of vitex since October of last year and instead of only receiving my period once a year (I've been irregular since I first started) I was finally able to get a consistent flow each month. Since I am trying to conceive, this has been a huge leap forward. I am trying this vitex now because instead of taking x2 of 400mg I can just take one convenient pill. I am also using this in combination with maca root and prenatal vitamins. So far I have no side effects and will update if anything good happens I will make sure to update this post.

Over the last couple years I have been doing my own research about hormone regulation after being frustrated with every Obgyn I visit. It seemed as if their "fix all" for every hormonal issue was birth control even though they did not really take the time to get to the root of the problem. I went off birth control for a reason and the symptoms that occurred when I stopped were just being masked my the birth control. I decided to try Vitex after struggling with PMS, adult acne, bloating, painful periods, etc. I have read about how powerful this herb can be so I decided to only take one pill in the morning every day of my cycle other than on my period days (again, do your research! I have read about giving your body a little rest) From my understanding, this herb is meant to "jump start" your hormonal balance especially after you stop taking birth control. I have been taking it for about a month and a half now so I have only had one period but I could tell it was remarkably more tolerable than usual! My period actually snuck up and surprised me for once! Usually I would have a couple days of PMS before my period. I do believe good things are happening :) I have also read that Vitex can make some hormonal conditions worse but it seems to be working for me.

This product does wonders for rebalancing your hormones. I was someone who used to DREAD their period because PMS consisted of extreme sadness, anxiety, and overall just complete emotional imbalance. It was horrible to say the least. I finally did some research why I had such severe mood changes and found high levels of estrogen in comparison to progesterone (the calming hormone) to be a possible reason. Since vitex helps balance hormones by boosting progesterone, I gave it a try. Changed my life. I no longer dread my period and even though my mood is still not perfect, it is so much more manageable and I am so much happier. Since the concentration is so high I usually take 1 pill a day with 2 pills the last 10 days and even a break during my period. I will say that it doesnt seem to have done much for my period pain (tho my physical pain isn’t usually crazy) and it’s possible my period is heavier. Libido is lower though, probably due to the decrease in estrogen. All in all, PLEASE get this if you too suffer from hormonal imbalance and super high levels of estrogen.

At age 51 I started taking this supplement to assist in balancing my hormones and ease premenstrual discomfort. Chaste berry was a supplement that was recommended in a women's book for balancing hormones. After 2 months of taking this, I did notice my PMS symptoms of bloating and cramps were lessened. However, whether this is a coincidence or side effect of Chaste berry, I also started developing UTIs on a regular basis (every 2-3 weeks.) Previously, I had only had a handful in my 51 years. I quit taking these last week (accidentally left them out of my daily vitamin box, which I fill weekly) and noticed the UTI symptoms are gone.

I had a mid cycle spotting which sometimes last until I get my period. I was struggling with cysts on my ovaries for years. My GYN placed me on progesterone tablets to regulate the hormones from day 15-25. It worked for a while but the mid cycle bleeding reoccurred with pain and cramps and it was just driving me nuts. I was researching a lot on how to naturally balance your hormones and VITEX , DIM and MACA supplements were among those that had great reviews. I started with DIM Supplements however I didn't have much luck with it. I got more acne on my skin, got bloated frequently and I felt overall not right. Then I switched to VITEX and this is so far a winner for me. It is already a 2nd month and 2nd menstrual cycle that I'm on VITEX supplement and I already see great improvement. My mid cycle spotting is gone, slight cramps but hey... I can live with that as long as I'm not spotting and in general I'm more calm. I feel like I'm breaking out a little more than regular but it could be a cleansing effect. We'll see... I will still continue taking this nevertheless. I'm also taking probiotics, vitamin d and biotin. I'm trying to eat health mostly following Mediterranean diet, light exercise and avoid stress. Thank you VITEX keep up the good work :)
