Organic Vitex Berries: Do you suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), irregular periods, infertility or menopause? Vitex, also known as chasteberry, may help.

It’s been used for centuries and has proved itself effective time and again in scientific studies. This small but medicinally potent brown berry about the size of a peppercorn has a long history (over 2,000 years) of use as an herbal medicine.

Vitex is one of the top herbal recommendations when it comes to natural PMS relief.

In fact, one study published in the Journal of Women’s Health & Gender-Based Medicine found that after being treated with vitex for three menstrual cycles, 93 percent of patients reported a decrease in the number of PMS symptoms or a complete end of PMS complaints. In addition to reducing unwanted premenstrual symptoms, it also has been shown to help treat some menopausal symptoms as well as hormonally induced acne.

In total, 93 percent of those given vitex reported a decrease in PMS symptoms, including:

depression

anxiety

cravings

For a woman, inappropriately increased production of prolactin may be a factor in cyclic breast tenderness and other PMS symptoms. Vitex is believed to work well at reducing PMS symptoms because it suppresses the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland.

Numerous studies have suggested that chasteberry may help reduce symptoms of PMS, including breast tenderness, headache and irritable mood. In one review conducted by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and the University in Australia, five out of six studies found vitex extracts to be superior to a placebo for treating PMS.

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors found within the uterine walls, often resulting in a change in the size or shape of the uterus as well as several unpleasant symptoms.

A key way to prevent and reduce uterine fibroids is to maintain a proper balance of hormones. Chasteberry can help balance the ratio of estrogen to progesterone.

Vitex has been shown to improve fertility, particularly for women with luteal phase defect (shortened second half of the menstrual cycle). These women have trouble because their ovaries don’t release enough progesterone.

In one trial, 48 women (ages 23 to 39) who were diagnosed with infertility took chasteberry once daily for three months. During the three-month trial period, seven women became pregnant, and 25 women experienced normalized progesterone levels, which can increase the chances for pregnancy.

Another study evaluated 52 women with luteal phase defects due to latent hyperprolactinemia (higher than normal levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood). Each woman received a daily dose of 20 milligrams of Vitex agnus-castus preparation or a placebo.

The study aimed to prove if it could reduce the elevated pituitary prolactin and also normalize the deficits in luteal phase length and luteal phase progesterone synthesis.

Results were excellent. After three months, the women treated with vitex had a reduction in prolactin release, shortened luteal phases were normalized and deficits in the luteal progesterone synthesis were eliminated.

Two women in the treated group also got pregnant during the course of the study, and no negative side effects were seen.

In 2025, during testing of Morelliville products. We trialed our Vitex and mushroom products on 2 women who had been suffering from infertility for several years. After three months of use, both of their cycles had regulated and within six months both had announced pregnancies. You can follow their stories on our social media pages.

Hormone imbalances and fluctuations can be at the root of acne, especially if you’re a woman. If you experience monthly outbreaks of acne, especially along your jawline and chin, vitex might be a perfect natural remedy for acne.

It can balance your hormones, which can reduce acne formation in women. Preliminary research has suggested that it might help clear premenstrual acne, as well, possibly by regulating hormonal influences.

Endometriosis is an often-painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus grows outside your uterus. It most commonly involves your ovaries, bowels or the tissue lining your pelvis.

No one is sure of the exact cause of endometriosis, but some contributing factors include hormonal imbalances and genetics.

You can’t do anything about the genetics factor, but the hormonal imbalance can possibly be overcome with the use of vitex. To naturally treat endometriosis, chasteberry is usually taken long term (12 to 18 months) for maximum effectiveness.

Amenorrhea is a medical condition in which a woman of reproductive age has her menstrual cycle stop suddenly. If you’re not pregnant and your period is irregular or has stopped, it’s a solid indication that something isn’t right.

Amenorrhea can be caused by several factors. One possibility is having too much prolactin in your body, which can cause hypoestrogenism or estrogen deficiency.

Vitex supplementation can help to modulate prolactin and get a healthy balance of estrogen and progesterone back on track.

It’s also been shown to help with other symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with evidence that vitex can be as effective as some prescription medications in relieving PCOS symptoms.

Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, defined as occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period. Vitex is often combined with other herbs, such as red clover, black cohosh or dong quai, for maximum benefits, and it’s one of the most recommended menopause supplements.

One 2007 study published in Gynecological Endocrinology found that an herbal supplement containing chasteberry provided safe and effective relief of hot flashes and sleep disturbances in pre- and postmenopausal women. Another 2015 study found that a supplement containing vitex as a key ingredient was able to reduce moderate to severe menopause symptoms.

These effects on menopause symptoms have been verified repeatedly in many studies.

But vitex is not only for women with hormonal issues that need fixing. It’s recently been shown to exhibit antitumor activities in different human cancer cell lines, and that’s not all.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an age-associated prostate gland enlargement that can cause urination difficulty. A 2005 study conducted by the Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology at the University of Basel in Switzerland showed that extracts of Vitex agnus-castus fruits can be useful for the prevention and treatment not only of an enlarged prostate, but also prostate cancer.

Data showed that vitex contains components that inhibit proliferation and kill prostate cancer cells.

Several lab studies have revealed that chasteberry has promising anti-inflammatory compounds.

In a clinical observation of women with PMS who also experienced migraines, 42% of patients experienced a reduction higher than 50% in the frequency of monthly migraine attacks after taking 40 mg/day of vitex for three months.

In Turkish medicine, it’s also used as a digestive, antifungal and anti-anxiety aid.

In one study, women with bone fractures given a combination of vitex and magnesium had slightly increased markers for bone repair than those given a placebo.

Epilepsy prevention. Some studies suggest that vitex may reduce the likelihood of epileptic seizures compared to control groups
