Chaste TreeSupplement Facts



Chaste Tree fruit 6:1 extract from Vitex agnus-castus fruit 500 mg

83.3 mg †


Other Ingredients: Dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, sodium starch glycolate, hypromellose and magnesium stearate.

Why Use Chaste Tree?

ü Supports healthy prolactin and progesterone levels in the body

ü Eases discomfort associated with premenstrual syndrome and

temporary feelings of tension associated with the menstrual cycle

ü Supports normal reproductive function in women*

Chaste Tree helps keep the body’s hormones

balanced by interacting with a certain

dopamine receptor (the D2 receptor).

Constituents in Chaste Tree called diterpenes

combine with D2 receptors leading

to balanced prolactin release.6 A normal

prolactin release has a series of effects,

some of which include maintaining the

healthy functioning of the ovaries and

promoting healthy progesterone levels.

One result of this is a normal menstrual cycle.



Menstruation Support

Puberty and early adulthood are times when hormones begin to make major changes to the female body which can be

challenging both physically and emotionally. It’s important to support normal hormonal balance and encourage healthy

menstrual cycling in young female patients.
