Nature's Answer Vitex Agnus-Castus, Chastetree Berry, 90-Count

Its been 6 months since i menstruated becos of my PCOD problems. I have been having this tablets for 2 months now. It started regularizing my cycles.

Good supplement, using from a year

It makes sense to review this product after an year or so of use. This IS Vitex Agnus-Castus (Chinese). This IS NOT the other variety of it, Vitex Negundo Linn (Indian). A little backstory: (From experience) Hormone problems are difficult to treat with regular, conventional medicine. Avoid seeing a doctor for this. They prescribe clomid or other birth control (contraceptives which would be suitable for married women) but, sometimes, they fire back. They mess up your hormones and don’t do you any good whatsoever (especially in PCOS). Having said that, these contraceptives are to stop your menstrual cycles first and then to regularize them. The only thing you need to do is: • Fix your diet • Move around - exercise a little • Have herbal teas • Reduce intake of starches, junk and sugars (have them just once a week) • Avoid oily foods (and if you do have them have lots of water AT LEAST 8 glasses a day or more) • For weightloss, have anything high in fiber (wheat, barley, buckwheat, jowar, oats). Have this whenever you have junk food or too much food. This helps to curb cravings and also helps with weight loss and it helps with insulin resistance. • Spearmint tea is another excellent way to lower testosterone levels. It has anti-androgenic properties. • Try to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 2-3 big ones Short and to-the-point review: • These are pills of 40 mg, so do not expect quick results. And it is preferable that you have a lighter dose before moving on to take something stronger. • Have one bottle of this and then move on to a higher dose • It depends on how you are built, if you weight 50-60 kilos, have it once a day for the first few months. • If you weight 60-70 kilos have two a day for a two-five months and then move on to a higher dose. • If you are over 70 kilos have two a day for a month or so and then move on to a higher dose. • If you want something better and potent, get Female Complex from Nature's Answer • These take time to work. I had to make a second purchase of this. Give it time. These Vitex (Chasteberry), 40 mg pills are not too strong, they're light doses so it's better to have one in the morning and one in the evening for quick results. • The doses depend on the type and intensity of your ailment. If one suffices then one before food or else two or three per day (morning-afternoon-evening). • This is the best, natural medicine prescribed to those who have difficult PCOS/PCOD symptoms. It helps treat it to a great extent • Lighter doses are good because it does not trigger side effects like constipation or headaches. • This works best if you have it before food, and early in the morning. Have it on an empty stomach (have a glass of water first and then this capsule with another glass of water) both in the morning and at night. • Give it at least 6 months to an year to show results that stay for long. • It helped me inhibit cravings for food (sweet, salty and junk) • Helps reduce and maintain weight • Helps thinning facial or body hair for those who suffer with hirsutism as a symptom of PCOS/D • It reduces acne and improves the texture of your skin • Good for all those who are suffering from PCOS or PCOD of all forms • It helps reduce feelings of lethargy • It regularizes cycles Does what it's supposed to do. I hope this helps.

The product is as described.

Not giving good results. tried for 2 months from the date of purchase because of pcos problem. not giving good results

I've taken Vitex off and on for many years. Now as I enter menopause this 40 mg dosage is perfect. It nudges my body to produce more of its own hormones without upsetting the natural balance within the body. There is also Natural Factors WomenSense with a slightly larger dosage of 80 mg https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Factors-WomenSense-Chasteberry-Vegetarian/dp/B00028P8LQ If you are peri-menopausal, you might try an intermediate dosage like the Solaray https://www.amazon.com/Solaray-Vitex-Chaste-Extract-Capsules/dp/B0001VVGLU If you are younger and trying to conceive (TTC), or looking to regulate your cycle or you are dealing with PMS or PCOS, you might try the Nature's Way 400 mg https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-milligrams-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B000F76ISG

Bought this vitex a little over 2 months ago now and feel I can effectively write my review after taking it for a while. This stuff is amazing!! I highly recommend it to anyone that has irregular cycles or hormonal imbalances. I have PCOS and have been trying to conceive for 5 months, trying all sorts of other herbal supplements like maca, ashwagandha, ovasitol, and many types of tinctures with no luck. My cycles were hovering around 40 days and decided to try vitex just to shorten my cycles before going and getting on fertility medication. I believe the company states it takes up to 6 months to be fully effective but the first month of taking it my cycle shortened to 29 days! That in and of itself is a huge victory, going from 40 to 29 days. Very next cycle we were not really trying to get pregnant because it would make the due date right when we are planning to move. We go in later that month to the fertility doctor where she did an ultrasound to check my uterine lining, which she stated looked awesome despite still breastfeeding my 13 month old. The doctor said she could tell that I ovulated from my left and asked if we could possibly be pregnant because she said it looked like we had an early pregnancy. Sure enough, we tested a week later and got a positive! I told my husband I would be impressed and content if this vitex shortened my cycle to 35 days so shortening it to 29 days then the following month getting a positive pregnancy test is beyond my expectations! I was worried about taking vitex b/c it is known to increase your luteinizing hormone (LH) which is already elevated for women with PCOS and vitex decreases your prolactin levels, which I need elevated in order to breastfeed so I went with the lower dose of 40 mg 1xday rather than the standard 400 mg 3xday that most women take and it did not hurt my breast milk supply and caused my LH to balance out so it could surge in order to ovulate. I STRONGLY recommend this product above all other supplements I have been taking! I also like that it came in a glass bottle, which usually shows quality of product.

delivery time was very fast i am surprise

I wish I had researched this more before buying. It had no effect on PMS symptoms or libido, but, having changed nothing else about my lifestyle, I've gained 7 lbs in a week and it's all right in the front of my abdomen. I look like I've swallowed a beach ball and I am throwing the rest in the garbage.

Nature’s Answer Vitex was recommended to me by a friend that shared the same hormonal imbalance that we had as a teens and now. Personally, I find this is a great alternative to birth control for those looking for another option.
