Vitex 800 | It relieves the premenopausal and menopausal symptoms

Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus) is a shrub used since Greek antiquity for its ability to improve the functioning of the female reproductive system, and in Turkish medicine as a digestive, antifungal and anti-anxiety aid.

Effects and Benefits

Numerous modern studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Vitex in premenstrual syndrome (dysmenorrhoea, irregular cycle, bloating, acne), pre-menopausal symptoms, menopause, infertility problems and other conditions that can affect the female intimate health.

In a medical study, 1.93% of women given Vitex reported a decrease in the premenstrual symptoms, including: menstrual pain, depression, anxiety, food cravings.

Vitex helps to lower the levels of the hormone prolactin, which helps to rebalance other hormones, including oestrogen and progesterone – thus reducing the PMS symptoms.

The hormone balancing effects of Vitex 800 help in regulating the menstrual cycle and relieving the menopausal symptoms, easing the menstrual pain.
