About Vitex Capsules
Vitex Agnus Castus goes by many names, including Chastetree Berry and Vitex. The small tree is indigenous to the Mediterranean area, although it can grow in temperate areas worldwide. It is an attractive bush with finger-like leaves and thin violet, blue or pink flowers. The fruit produced by this tree is a dark brown to black berry, about the size of a peppercorn, with a spicy pepper flavor. The Chaste Berry has a long history of use in folklore.
During ancient Greek and Roman times, the Priestess of the Temple would eat the berries to lessen the libido. Another name for the plant, Monk?s Pepper, came from the use by medieval monks towards a similar goal. Although scientific studies do not support the herb?s ability to decrease sex drive, modern research shows that Chaste Berry has a regulating effect on female hormones *. Chaste Berry has been the subject of in depth, placebo controlled double blind studies, which have uncovered some of the specific mechanisms of action that make it so useful as a remedy for the female cycle
