Benefits of Vitex for the menstrual cycle

Vitex has been used for centuries in traditional European medicine to help maintain a regular and balanced menstrual cycle.* Although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, it is believed that Vitex extract may influence pituitary gland function, promoting a proper balance between estrogen and progesterone.*

Many women use it as a supplement to alleviate typical premenstrual syndrome (PMS) discomforts, such as irritability, fluid retention, or mood swings.* It is important to remember that food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet, and that each body may respond differently.
