How Does Chasteberry Work in the Body?

Its compounds, such as iridoids and flavonoids, can influence prolactin and progesterone levels, thus contributing to a more regular menstrual cycle and the reduction of discomfort associated with premenstrual syndrome. It is important to note that each person is unique and results may vary. Continuous use for at least three months is recommended to appreciate the benefits.
