Chasteberry (vitex agnus castus) is used by women around the world to smooth out their menstrual cycles.  It is the single best remedy for irregular menstrual cycles and is used traditionally for all symptoms of PMS.  A new Chinese study1, as well as another recent Chinese study2, confirm the ability of chasteberry Nutritonal compound that has been shown to be helpful in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle. It has been shown to improve hormonal communication between the pituitary and ovaries. to alleviate all symptoms of PMS, especially mood issues and fluid retention.  These studies are part of a larger body of literature proving that chasteberry Nutritonal compound that has been shown to be helpful in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle. It has been shown to improve hormonal communication between the pituitary and ovaries. is an excellent support herb for PMS3.

Research over the past decade has proven conclusively that chasteberry Nutritonal compound that has been shown to be helpful in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle. It has been shown to improve hormonal communication between the pituitary and ovaries. is an excellent remedy for breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle4.  There is a significant link between menstrual-related breast pain/tenderness and stress.  Stress chemicals stimulate breast cells to make significant and inappropriate higher levels of prolactin Hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk for breastfeeding..  In turn the prolactin Hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk for breastfeeding. causes breast tissue swelling, tenderness, and/or pain. 

Chasteberry directly offsets this problem by lowering the inappropriate high level of prolactin Hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk for breastfeeding.5 while simultaneously smoothing out dopamine function in the brain (meaning mood support).  Additionally, another recent study shows that some of the compounds in chasteberry Nutritonal compound that has been shown to be helpful in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle. It has been shown to improve hormonal communication between the pituitary and ovaries. have direct anti-inflammatory properties6, contributing to the reduction of physical stress associated with the menstrual cycle.

The collective body of research on chasteberry Nutritonal compound that has been shown to be helpful in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle. It has been shown to improve hormonal communication between the pituitary and ovaries. , along with its well-established traditional use, makes it a top choice nutrient for natural female hormonal balance for women of any age (starting at the age of the first menstrual cycle).
