PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Vitex agnus-castus extract, commonly known as chasteberry extract, originates from the fruit of the Vitex agnus-castus tree. Historically, it has been utilized in herbal medicine for nurturing women's health, particularly for regulating menstrual cycles and alleviating the symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Prior to using Vitex agnus-castus extract, it is vital to consult a healthcare provider, especially for individuals with existing medical conditions or those currently taking medications, as potential drug interactions may occur.
